One day after linebacker Mark Robinson left to join the New York Jets, the New England Patriots’ practice squad saw another departure. Offensive tackle Thayer Munford Jr. has been poached by the Cleveland Browns, as was announced by the organization on Wednesday morning.
Munford, 26, was signed to the Patriots’ 16-man practice squad shortly after the NFL’s roster cutdown deadline in late August. He spent the better part of four weeks there but did not see any game action.
Now, Munford is headed to the Browns’ active roster. Cleveland signed him to bolster its offensive tackle depth after starter Dawand Jones was sent to injured reserve because of a season-ending knee injury. The Browns will be Munford’s third stop since he entered the league as a seventh-round draft pick out of Ohio Stat
