The Cleveland Browns announced Friday that they’ve signed DT Joey Ivie and DT Tanzel Smart to their practice squad and released T Brady Aiello and RB Benny LeMay from the unit. 

Here’s the Browns updated practice squad:

Ivie, 25, is a former seventh-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2017. He was waived at the start of the regular season and later signed to the Falcons’ practice squad.

Atlanta brought Ivie back on a futures contract in 2018 before waiving him with an injury settlement. After a brief stint with the Seahawks, he joined the Chiefs and returned to Kansas City on a futures contract last year. 

Ivie was on and off of the Chiefs’ active roster last season before signing on to the Titans’ practice squad. He was cut loose last week. 

In 2019, Ivie has appeared in eight games for the Chiefs and Titans while recording two tackles and no sacks.
