The Cleveland Browns showed promise at several uncertain positions during their Week 1 matchup against the Bengals, despite falling short in the final result.<\/p>\n

The offense had an encouraging performance with veteran David Njoku leading the charge and rookie Dylan Sampson providing solid support behind him.<\/p>\n

Sampson flashed the type of skills that suggest he could develop into a future RB1.<\/p>\n

\"Packers<\/p>\n

Rookie Quinshon Judkins still awaits his NFL debut, while Raheim Sanders currently holds the RB3 spot.<\/p>\n

The depth chart appears stable heading forward, though one running back who didn\u2019t make the final roster has landed elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreen Bay signed former Browns RB Pierre Strong Jr. to its practice squad,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Green Bay signed former Browns RB Pierre Strong Jr. to its practice squad.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 8, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Strong entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2022. He spent two seasons in New England before joining Cleveland for the 2023 and 2024 campaigns.<\/p>\n

Over 46 career games, he rushed for 499 yards on 99 carries with an impressive 5.0-yard average and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

The running back also contributed as a receiver with 26 catches for 193 yards. His best rushing season came in 2023 with 291 yards, while he set a career high with 14 receptions in 2024.<\/p>\n

Strong impressed during this year\u2019s preseason, rushing for 114 yards at a 6.3-yard clip.<\/p>\n

Cleveland released Strong on an injury settlement after he suffered a concussion.<\/p>\n

Beyond his offensive contributions, he proved valuable on special teams throughout his career. Strong recorded eight tackles and forced one fumble in 2023, adding three more tackles in 2024.<\/p>\n

He also handled kickoff return duties, averaging 23.8 yards across 24 attempts. Strong accumulated 607 special teams snaps and 412 offensive snaps during his NFL tenure.<\/p>\n
