The Browns released two players on the first day of organized team practice activities Tuesday, waiving defensive lineman Calvin Barnett and linebacker Keith Pough, the club said.
Barnett (6-2, 317) was on the Browns’ practice squad to begin 2014 before suffering a shoulder injury. An Oklahoma State product, Barnett signed with Cleveland as an undrafted rookie in May 2014.
Pough (6-2, 236) has had stints with the Bills and the Browns since entering the NFL in 2013. He played collegiately at Howard. Pough was waived with an “injured” designation, which means he could revert to injured reserve if he goes unclaimed on Wednesday.
The Browns now have two open roster spots.
