BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have been awarded defensive back Brett Johnson off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks.
The club is thin in the secondary with rookie safety Eric Hagg scheduled for knee surgery Monday.
Johnson was signed as an undrafted free agent by Buffalo last season. He also spent time with Philadelphia and St. Louis but was released before the start of the regular season. He was signed to the Bills’ practice squad on Dec. 22 and spent the rest of the season there.
The 6-foot-1, 194-pound Johnson played in college at California.
