Cleveland Browns promote Elijah Lee to the show

Special teams ace Elijah Lee has earned a promotion to the Cleveland Browns 53-man roster starting with the Houston game.

Elijah Lee of the Cleveland Browns, an outstanding special teams player and backup linebacker, has earned a spot on the 53-man roster starting with the Houston Texans on Sunday.

He replaces linebacker Anthony Walker who is on the Injured Reserve (IR) with a hamstring injury. Walker is a free agent addition who played for the Indianapolis Colts last eason and called signals for the Browns in their first game.

It’s hard to believe, but the 25-year-old Lee has played in five playoff games in his brief career, including the Super Bowl, for San Francisco against the Kansas City Chiefs, and recorded two tackles on special teams.
