The Cleveland Browns were busy on Saturday. In addition to activating four players, most notably Pro Bowl WR Jarvis Landry, the team also claimed cornerback M.J. Stewart off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Stewart was waived by the Buccaneers on Friday in a bit of a surprise move. The 24-year-old was a second-round pick out of North Carolina in the 2018 NFL Draft and played quite a bit as the team’s slot corner in his two seasons with Tampa Bay.
The Browns are shallow at cornerback and in particular at the slot corner position, so Stewart stands a fair chance of sticking around if he can prove himself quickly with his new team.
