Browns Sign Eric Johnson, Release Nadame Tucker from Practice Squad

The Cleveland Browns made two changes to their practice squad on Wednesday, adding defensive tackle Eric Johnson while releasing defensive end Nadame Tucker.

Nadame Tucker, 25, had a notable college career, being named the MAC Defensive Player of the Year and leading the nation with 14.5 sacks last season. He also earned Third-team All-American honors and was recognized as First-team All-MAC.

Before joining the Browns, Tucker played three seasons at Houston and signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent. After being cut from their final roster, he returned to the practice squad before his release and subsequent signing with the Browns.
