What happened: Cleveland claimed Mekhi Blackmon on Aug. 27 and Toriano Pride Jr. on Aug. 31, then signed Noah Igbinoghene on Sept. 1. Todd Monken said the moves were made to shore up the back end of the defense.
Why it matters: The additions replenish a position group thinned by several injuries during camp. Pride offers speed and inside-outside flexibility, while Igbinoghene brings veteran experience.
By the numbers: Cleveland added three cornerbacks to its 53-man roster across six days.
What to watch: Practice reps will determine how quickly the newcomers enter the defensive rotation before the regular-season opener.
