Oakland Raiders WR Juron Criner (hamstring), LB Kaluka Maiava (hamstring), LB Marshall McFadden (hamstring) and FS Usama Young (quadriceps) worked with trainers on the side before practice Thursday, July 31.

Footballguys view: Hayden is the real disappointment here, as he was a risky high pick for them last year. There is no timetable for his return and it looks very much like he will have a hard time improving on his injury-riddled rookie year.

  Browns | Two signed    Wed Dec 26, 11:09 AM

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent QB Josh X. Johnson (Buccaneers) to the active roster. They also signed CB Jordan Mabin to the practice squad. S Usama Young (head) was placed on Injured Reserve.

Footballguys view: Johnson was in training camp with the 49ers earlier this year. He didn't make the final roster despite the fact he was playing for his college coach Jim Harbaugh. Johnson then went to the UFL to play for the Sacramento Mountain Lions. He tried out with the Bears earlier this month, and now gets a shot with the Browns because of injuries to Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy.
