Cleveland signed defensive back Nick Sorensen to take the roster spot of Gary Baxter on Wednesday. Baxter was placed on IR Tuesday.
Sorensen played previously for the St. Louis Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars. Mostly a special teams participant, Sorensen has played in 75 career NFL games. Sorensen graduated from Virginia Tech.
Another possible defensive move would be to look into signing the recently released Grady Jackson. Jackson, an 11-year veteran, was let go by the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday. While the Browns could use some youth upfront on the defensive line, they could also use some bodies. Cleveland has allowed six consecutive 100-yard rushers so far this season.
