We are nearing the red wedding around the NFL as every team will have to cut their rosters from 90 men down to their initial 53-man roster. And for the Cleveland Browns, a team that has accumulated a great deal of talent, that means some hard decisions will have to be made. The hardest decision, however, will surround 2021 undrafted wide receiver Austin Watkins Jr. as he continues to plead his case.
Will he make his first NFL roster? Can he clear waivers and land back on the practice squad? Here is a final 53-man roster prediction as we enter the last week of the preseason.
