The Cleveland Browns have started to sign players to their 2019 practice squad. Stick with us as we keep you updated as to who makes the 10-man squad

Making the cuts down to 53 players is never an easy task for any team, but it has to be done. The Cleveland Browns and the rest of the NFL did exactly that on Saturday and had to send some promising players to the waiver wire.

Fortunately, this may not be the last time we hear from some of these players who we started to root for during the four-week preseason. That’s due to the fact that the Browns now will begin to work on building their 10-man practice squad.

Of course, the caveat here is that these players have to go through the waiver wire unclaimed, which makes some of the cuts rather risky.

For example, if there’s a player they really like but feel he’s not ready to be on the active roster, he could end up being claimed by another team that has a spot for him to sit and develop. That makes the 24-hour period following roster cuts both exciting and nerve-wracking.

Looking back to the 2018 practice squad, Cleveland was able to use their spaces allotted to groom a couple of players who are now on the 53-man roster in 2019. One is running back Dontrell Hilliard, who has gone from a player on the squad to the No. 2 back to start the season. Daniel Ekuale is another as the young man went from a player they risked on the waiver wire to a good depth piece at defensive tackle.

With all that being said, we offer up a live tracker of the players being added to the Browns squad this season. This will be updated as soon as we get confirmation of signings, so be sure to check back often — and refresh the tab as well.

As is often the case, nothing is final when it comes to the practice squad. Not only can Cleveland call their own players up to the roster, but other teams can poach from this group as well. Still, it’s a vital part of the team-building process as these players can come in to help at a moment’s notice.
