Report: Browns Sign Wide Receiver Jordan Leslie

By: Tim Whelan

It’s been well known that the Cleveland Browns have a lot of issues at the wide receiver position. For one, the Browns will most likely place their top wide receiver Corey Coleman on the Injured Reserve (designated to return) for a surgically-repaired broken hand. Coleman broke his hand during the game Sunday in Baltimore. For the second year in a row, Coleman broke the same hand on the same week as last year (week two). So as a corresponding move, the Browns are bringing back a familiar face: Jordan Leslie, who was bidding to be a part of the original 53-man roster.

The Browns have also had other issues as well. Lack of production from newly signed free agent Kenny Britt, who signed a four-year deal worth $32,500,000 million and the lack of depth behind Britt and Coleman. Though Rashard Higgins, who was signed off the practice squad Friday, had a huge impact for the Browns against the Ravens. Higgins racked up 95 yards on 7 catches.

 

 

More details are yet to come from the Cleveland Browns on the signing of Jordan Leslie. The team has not officially confirmed. But according to his twitter account, Jordan Leslie is back. Leslie will go through practice this week and his status for Sunday’s game will be determined later this week.
