  Browns | 13 cut    Sat Aug 30, 06:30 PM

The Cleveland Browns released LB Zac Diles, LB Jamaal Westerman, FS Josh Aubrey, DL Calvin Barnett, DT Jacobbi McDaniel, OT Reid Fragel, OG Donald Hawkins, OG Alex Parsons, OT Abasi Salimu, QB Connor Shaw, TE/FB MarQueis Gray, TE Emmanuel Ogbuehi and WR Willie Snead.

Footballguys view: Gray is the guy to perhaps keep around on the practice squad. He's big, athletic and fast. However, the converted college quarterback has had a rough transition to tight end/fullback in the pros.

Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells (toe) was activated from the Injured Reserve/Designated to Return list. OLB Jamaal Westerman was released.

Footballguys view: Wells should be able to take over the starting job eventually for this team. However, LaRod Stephens-Howling has done a good job with an increased role and the Cardinals are likely to use some form of RBBC with both backs.

The Miami Dolphins have released DT Ryan Baker, DE Jamaal Westerman, WR B.J. Cunningham, LB Cameron Collins, WR Roberto Wallace, CB Vincent Agnew, CB Quinten Lawrence, CB Kevyn Scott and Gary Guyton.

Footballguys view: Wallace and Cunningham are young receivers that the team hoped would step up after Chad Johnson was released. It looks like Ryan Tannehill is going to struggle to get any kind of quality play from his secondary receivers this year.

New York Jets QB Kellen Clemens (elbow), RB Shonn Greene (rib), DL Mike DeVito (hamstring), LB Bryan Thomas (ankle) and LB Jamaal Westerman (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Footballguys view: If Shonn Greene is good to go he may see some time against the Patriots. The Jets would like to use him as a fourth quarter weapon, but in order for that to come to fruition they need to stay in the game with the Patriots. Greene is not much of a receiver out of the backfield, and would not be a factor if the Jets fell behind in this game.
