Browns Claim WR Damion Willis Off Waivers From Bengals, Waive WR D.J. Montgomery

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Browns have claimed WR Damion Willis off of waivers from the Bengals on Wednesday. 

Willis was officially added to the Browns’ roster on Saturday after clearing the COVID-19 protocol. Cleveland also waived WR D.J. Montgomery.

Willis, 23, wound up going undrafted out of Troy back in 2019. He later agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Bengals and managed to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason.

However, the Bengals elected to waive Willis last year and he was on and off of their roster. Cincinnati once again opted to waive him on Tuesday. 

In 2019, Willis appeared in 10 games for the Bengals and caught nine passes for 82 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
