The Browns had some good reasons for signing Watkins to the practice squad.
The thing with Watkins is that he didn’t have a role on special teams, and wouldn’t have contributed on game day, at least at the outset. In addition, his body-type is similar to that of fellow rookie receiver Cedric Tillman , and the Browns will try to get Tillman involved as much as they can. There wouldn’t have been many reps on offense for Watkins right now, and developing on the practice squad is the perfect situation for him.
Kevin Stefanski also understood York not wanted to return to the team that gave up on him while he was trying to work through his preseason struggles, including 4 of 8 on field goals and three blown chances to win games. Hailassie, awarded to the Browns via waivers on Wednesday, was signed by the Chiefs as an undrafted rookie out of Western Kentucky, and recorded one interception in preseason.
