Switzer has announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday via his Twitter account.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2019 and had spent the last two seasons working through injuries while on the Browns' practice squad. He finishes his career with 41 games played between the Cowboys and Steelers, generating 50 catches on 62 targets for 321 yards and a touchdown across five total seasons.

Switzer (foot) received a tryout with the Panthers on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer signed a one-year deal with the Browns last offseason, but he suffered a foot injury during training camp, which required surgery, and he never saw the field. Switzer last played in 2019 with the Steelers, appearing in nine games and making eight catches on 11 targets for 27 yards. The 2017 fourth-round selection will continue working to earn a shot at getting back on track somewhere next season.

Switzer will undergo foot surgery, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer was placed on injured reserve Monday and will miss the rest of the season due to the procedure, unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Switzer has been placed on the Browns' injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is unclear what issue Switzer is dealing with. He is now set to spend the remainder of the season on the Browns' IR unless he and the team can ultimatley reach an injury settlement should he regain his health.

The Browns signed Switzer to a one-year deal Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer linked with Cleveland's practice squad back in October, and he'll remain with the team to begin the offseason. He played a depth role with the Steelers from 2018-19.

The Browns activated Switzer (undisclosed) from the practice squad/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer will now be eligible to rejoin teammates at the Browns' facilities. If any of Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and KhaDarel Hodge are unable to come off the COVID-19 list Week 17, it's possible that Switzer could be called up to the active roster.

The Browns placed Switzer on the practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. He'll be required to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols before returning to the Browns' scout team.

The Browns restored Switzer (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer was placed on the list in early November. The Browns currently have three wide receivers on injured reserve, and KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) is questionable heading into Week 14, so Switzer could be in line for a promotion before the season ends.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer had been signed as insurance when the Browns experienced a spate of injuries at wideout.

The Browns signed Switzer to the practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Switzer spent the last two years in Pittsburgh, and he'll now remain in the division as an emergency wideout option for the Browns. He also boasts significant experience as a return man, something Cleveland can use in the wake of losing JoJo Natson (torn ACL) for the season.
