The Browns released Johnson on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Johnson got extensive playing time this preseason, mostly with the second- and third-string offenses, but caught just two of six targets for 19 yards. He also failed to earn a meaningful role in Baltimore and Houston during the second half of last season, after enjoying a volume-fueled run of production for Carolina earlier in 2024. Jamari Thrash is the favorite for Cleveland's No. 3 receiver job in Week 1, behind presumed starters Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.
