Justin Hardee: Cut by Browns
Rotowire
Hardee was released by the Browns on Tuesday.
Hardee compiled 11 total tackles (eight solo) with the Browns in the preseason, but he ultimately didn't do enough to earn a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster. The cornerback has appeared in at least 10 games in each of his seven prior NFL seasons and will likely find another opportunity elsewhere in the near future.
Hardee is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against Seattle after entering concussion protocols, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hardee was taken out of the game in the third quarter. He got checked out in the medical blue tent before eventually going to the locker room. Hardee registered two solo tackles before exiting Saturday's contest.
