Tight end Gerell Robinson was signed by the Cleveland Browns, and defensive lineman Jacobbi McDaniel was waived to create a spot on the 53-man roster.

Robinson was inactive for Browns in the first three games and dressed but did not play in one other this season. He was waived on Oct. 18.

The 220-pound tight end played wide receiver at Arizona State. He signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent. He spent the 2012 season the practice squad of the Arizona Cardinals and all of 2013 and Week 1 of the 2014 season on Denver’s practice squad. At ASU, Robinson had 135 receptions for 2,071 yards and 12 touchdowns in 47 games.

McDaniel spent the first six weeks of the season on the Browns’ practice squad before making his NFL debut as a reserve at Jacksonville last week with Cleveland scrambling to field a healthy defensive line due to injuries.
