Grant faced an uphill struggle to make the squad in 2023 just one year after the Browns signed him to a three-year, $10 million contract

The 2021 Pro Bowl return guy, previously of the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears, was expected to return for Cleveland last season as a second-string wide receiver.

Grant tore his Achilles tendon in August 2022, derailing such intentions.

Chri s Pokorny of SB Nation's Dawgs by Nature predicted Grant's cut when the Browns cut to 53 on August 29.
