ESPN: The Cleveland Browns brought in cornerback ahead of their Wild Card matchup against the Houston Texans.
Browns Eyeing Reunion With Defender Ahead of Wild Card
The Cleveland Browns brought in cornerback Herb Miller for a workout on Tuesday ahead of their Wild Card matchup against the Houston Texans.
Miller is a familiar face in Cleveland. He spent the last two seasons with the Browns, appearing in 13 games. He didn’t make much of a contribution on defense but played on over 60% of special teams snaps.
Miller spent training camp with the Carolina Panthers but was released before the start of the season. He was with the Buffalo Bills for the majority of this season on the practice squad. Miller was released on December 28
The Browns aren’t particularly banged up at cornerback, although Greg Newsome did not practice on Tuesday with a knee issue. Mike Ford was also limited with a calf injury. Miller could be getting looked at for depth and perhaps for a role on special teams.
As the Browns have learned this season with their laundry list of injuries, there’s no such thing as too much depth.

Browns Star Myles Garrett Misses Practice
The Browns had an extensive injury report for Tuesday’s practice, which is a bit concerning with the most important game of the season coming up.
Notable players who did not practice include guard Joel Bitonio, wide receiver Amari Cooper, running back Kareem Hunt and safety Juan Thornhill.
Browns star Myles Garrett also missed practice due to a personal reason. The team did not give any further info on Garrett’s absence. However, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski backed his Pro Bowl pass-rusher for his growth as a leader.
