The Browns restocked the defensive tackle depth on the team heading into the Week 1 weekend. Cleveland added two new DTs to the practice squad on Friday.
Joey Ivie and Tanzel Smart signed with the Browns on the practice squad. Both have some NFL regular-season experience. Ivie was a seventh-round pick by the Cowboys out of Florida in the 2017 NFL Draft. He’s spent time with the Falcons, Seahawks, Chiefs and Titans too. He played five games for Kansas City and three for Tennessee in 2019.
Smart was also a 2017 draft selection, a sixth-rounder by the Rams. He started four games as a rookie and played in 13 games a year ago for Los Angeles. He spent training camp with the Buffalo Bills this summer. Smart was a teammate of Browns RB Dontrell Hilliard, also on the practice squad, at Tulane.
To make room for the newcomers, the Browns cut RB Bennie LeMay and offensive tackle Brady Aiello from the practice squad. Both are undrafted rookies.
