The Cleveland Browns are beefing up the offensive line ahead of a playoff run they hope spans the entire month of January and arrives at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas this February.
According to the Browns’ official X account, Cleveland added offensive guard Rodger Saffold to its practice squad on Wednesday, January 3.
Saffold has been named to two Pro Bowls in the last two seasons, once as a member of the Tennessee Titans (2021) and once as a lineman for the Buffalo Bills last year. In 2017, he was a second-team All-Pro for the Los Angeles Rams.
Despite his recent NFL success, Saffold has yet to play this season, despite spending many months on the New York Jets’ practice squad prior to his release and subsequent addition to the Browns on Wednesday.
The offensive guard appeared in 176 games and made 173 starts over 13 years in the league prior to the 2023 campaign. Saffold is eligible to play in the Browns’ season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday — a game with no stakes for Cleveland as the team has already clinched the top Wildcard spot (No. 5 seed) in the AFC Playoffs, which begin on January 13.
