THE APEX TIMES
Cleveland’s latest roster moves set two new practice-squad targets at tight end and punter, while two other depth players move off the unit.
The Cleveland Browns signed tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden and punter Wes Pahl to the practice squad, according to the team’s official transaction release.
Mitchell-Paden (6-5, 257) is in his second season out of Florida Atlantic. The Browns originally signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2022, and the team notes he spent two seasons on Cleveland’s practice squad (2022-23). His pro experience includes appearing in eight career games with the Ravens and Saints in 2025, and the release says he has spent the majority of the 2026 season on the Texans’ practice squad. He will wear No. 80.
Pahl (6-4, 207) is a rookie out of Oklahoma State. Cleveland signed him as an undrafted free agent this offseason, and the team states he spent the preseason and time earlier this season on Cleveland’s practice squad. He will wear No. 36.
In a corresponding move, the Browns released tight end John FitzPatrick and defensive tackle Eric Johnson II from the practice squad.
