Brenden Bates News: Joins Cleveland's practice squad

The Browns signed Bates to their practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bates couldn't earn a spot on Cleveland's final 53-man roster for 2025, but he'll stay with the club as a member of the practice squad. Over seven games with the Browns and the Jets in 2024, Bates played a total of just 41 offensive snaps.
