WR Wilson among final cuts
Travis Wilson was a third-round bust after all.
The Browns acknowledged this today by releasing the wide receiver, a third-round draft choice in 2006, as part of paring the roster to the 53-player limit.
Other notables released were LB Shantee Orr, WR Steve Sanders and LB David McMillan. And guard Lennie Friedman was placed on injured reserve, thus ending his season, although no injury was immediately specified.
Injured draft picks Beau Bell, a linebacker, and Martin Rucker, a tight end, are part of the 53 but won’t be ready to play at the start. Both are coming off knee surgery.
The other three draft picks made the squad.
In a minor surprise, cornerback A.J. Davis was cut.
Others updating their resumes are TE Brad Cieslak, WR Efrem Hill, TE Kolomona Kapanui, S Travis Key, OT James Lee, WR Lance Leggett, S Brandon Mitchell, LB Chase Ortiz, OT Jonathan Palmer, CB Jereme Perry, DE Melila Purcell, K Jason Reda, OF Derrick Morse, OT Marvin Philip, DE Chase Pittman and RB Travis Thomas.
