The Browns waived Stanton on Tuesday, Anthony Poisal of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton appeared in four games for Cleveland during the 2021 campaign, rushing three times for five yards while hauling in both of his targets for seven yards and a score. If he clears waivers, it's possible the Browns opt to bring him back via another practice squad deal.

Stanton is the lone fullback on the Browns' roster after the team declined an option on Andy Janovich's contract.

EDGE Analysis

The Janovich decision means he'll become an unrestricted free agent when the new NFL year begins March 16. As important as the running game is to Cleveland's offense, expect the team to add fullbacks during the offseason to compete with Stanton as a lead blocker for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

The Browns signed Stanton to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton appeared in four games for Cleveland during the 2021 campaign and rushed three times for five yards while hauling in both of his targets for seven yards and a touchdown. He spent most of the year on the practice squad but will now remain with the Browns heading into the offseason.

The Browns restored Stanton from their practice squad/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton spent just over a week away from the team after landing in health and safety protocols. The 27-year-old fullback has made four appearances for the Browns this season, but now that their running back room is relatively healthy, he will likely be relegated to practice squad duties.

Stanton was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was called upon to provide depth to the running back position earlier this season, but he's now back on the practice squad and is also expected to be held out of practices on a short-term basis. The Browns are on a bye this week, though, and their next game will be against the Ravens on Dec. 12.

Stanton was reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was called upon to provide depth to the Browns' backfield with Nick Chubb, Demetric Felton and John Kelly all on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Kareem Hunt has also been out with a calf injury. Depending on who is available for the Browns in Week 11, Stanton may get another shot on the active roster.

Stanton had one carry for zero yards in Sunday's 45-7 loss to New England.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was elevated to the active roster amid a COVID-19 outbreak in the running back room. His lone carry came on the first series -- the Browns' lone scoring drive -- when he took a direct snap at the 2-yard line and was snuffed out by the Patriots' defense. That was Stanton's only snap on offense. Stanton's presence on the active roster depends on the health and availability of Nick Chubb (illness), Demetric Felton (illness), Kareem Hunt (calf) and John Kelly (illness).

Stanton was signed to the Browns' practice squad Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was waived by the Browns on Tuesday but will remain in the organization after clearing waivers. He had a minimal role while filling in for Andy Janovich (hamstring) across the last few weeks.

Stanton was waived by the Browns on Tuesday, according to Brad Stainbrook of the Orange and Brown report.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming he clears waivers, Stanton is expected to rejoin Cleveland as a member of the practice squad. The fullback had been filling in for Andy Janovich (hamstring) and scored his first career touchdown during the Browns' Week 7 win over the Broncos. Janovich is eligible to return from injured reserve ahead of Week 9, so waiving Stanton may suggest that he will be available for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

Stanton (calf) was a late addition to the injury report heading into Sunday's game against the Steelers after being limited in practice Friday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton evidently sustained the injury during practice, as he wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday. The fullback scored the first touchdown of his career in last Thursday's win over Denver, and Stanton will continue to fill in for the injured Andy Janovich (hamstring) if Stanton's own injury doesn't keep him from suiting up.
