Brown was waived by Cleveland on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.
Brown signed with the Browns in May as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina. He was competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, but he only caught two passes for 26 yards across three preseason games, all of which came in Cleveland's preseason opener against Green Bay. Brown could return to Cleveland on the practice squad or explore other options elsewhere, assuming he clears waivers.
