Browns sign Jenkins to practice squad

The Cleveland Browns have added first-year wide receiver Darnell Jenkins to their practice squad. Rookie running back Cedric Peerman to make room for him.

Jenkins went undrafted coming out of the University of Miami last season, but signed with the Houston Texans. During two training camps and preseasons with the Texans, he's caught three passes for 28 yards and has 3 special teams tackles.

He was signed to the Texans' active roster late in 2008, appearing in one game, primarily on special teams. Houston released him on September 5, but signed him to their practice squad, where he remained until last Thursday, when he was released to make room for defense end Tim Jamison.

Jenkins will wear Braylon Edwards' old jersey, #17, though Edwards (6-3, 215) is a significantly larger individual than Jenkins, who checks in at 5-10 and 191 pounds.
