What happened: Jordan Schultz reported Cleveland is expected to add Horn two days after Carolina waived him. The move would put Horn back alongside Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Cami Justice reported Cleveland's plan is to bring Horn onto the practice squad.
Why it matters: Cleveland gets another developmental receiver as it keeps turning over the back end of its depth chart early in the season. Horn also gets a quick reset after his Panthers stint ended with a muffed punt against Chicago. The Sanders connection gives the Browns a familiar pairing to evaluate in practice.
By the numbers: Horn was waived by Carolina on Sept. 15, and the Browns signing report surfaced Sept. 17. Cleveland waived Jamari Thrash from injured reserve on Sept. 11.
What to watch: Watch for Cleveland to finalize the signing and announce the corresponding roster move. That transaction will show whether Horn stays on the practice squad or is moved onto the active roster mix quickly.
