The Cleveland Browns have added a new tight end after news broke that David Njoku is likely to miss multiple games with an ankle injury.
Cleveland added 10-year veteran Geoff Swaim — formerly of the Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals — to the practice squad on Tuesday, September 10, per a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
“#Browns are signing veteran tight end Geoff Swaim to the practice squad, per source,” Fowler wrote on X. “Insurance for Cleveland’s depleted TE room.”
Swaim has played in 100 NFL games and earned a total of 65 starts. He has amassed 110 receptions for 846 yards and 6 TDs, per Pro Football Reference.
The two best seasons of Swaim’s career came in 2018 with the Cowboys, when he made 26 catches for 242 yards and 1 TD, and with the the Titans in 2021, when the tight end hauled in a career-high 31 receptions for 210 yards and a career-high 3 TDs.
