Browns release fullback Chris Pressley just month after signing him as free agent
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Browns have released fullback Chris Pressley just one month after signing him as a free agent.
Pressley missed all of last season with Cincinnati because of a knee injury, but the 5-foot-10, 249-pounder had been expected to fill a need on Cleveland's roster.
The Browns did not have a traditional fullback in 2013. Pressley also played for Tampa Bay.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The team released wide receivers Josh Cooper and Tori Gurley. Those moves were expected after the club signed veteran free agents Miles Austin and Earl Bennett last week — protection in the event Pro Bowl Josh Gordon is suspended.
Cooper played in five games last season, finishing with nine receptions for 60 yards. The 5-foot-10 Cooper had a career-high five catches in the season finale against Pittsburgh.
