The Cleveland Browns have
placed DE Robaire Smith on Reserve-Injured and
have signed DE Santonio Thomas, the club announced
today.
Smith, 6-4 and 310 lbs., suffered an Achilles injury
Sunday night against the Steelers in the third quarter
and did not return. In two games this season, Smith
started both contests at right end and totaled six
tackles. Last season he led the club among defensive
linemen with 64 tackles and ranked tied for second with
four sacks.
Thomas, 6-4 and 305 lbs., has spent the previous three
seasons with the New England Patriots mainly on the
practice squad. Thomas entered the league in 2005 as an
undrafted rookie free agent out of Miami (Fla.) and
spent the 2005 and 2006 season on the Patriots’
practice squad. Last season, Thomas appeared in four
games with the Patriots and finished the year on the
practice squad.
