The Cleveland Browns have signed a former Pittsburgh Steelers third-round draft pick ahead of their Week 17 AFC North showdown.

On Wednesday, the Browns signed ex-Steelers IOL Kendrick Green to their active roster off the Buffalo Bills practice squad.

Selected by Pittsburgh with the 87th overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Green played center during his rookie year, where he infamously struggled on an offensive line tasked with protecting the legendary Ben Roethlisberger during his final season.

Green was moved to guard the following season but couldn’t win the job from Kevin Dotson, ultimately finishing the 2022 season without any game-day appearances.

In August 2023, he was traded to the Houston Texans for a 2025 sixth-round pick, a selection that ultimately helped the Steelers acquire Justin Fields from the Bears.

Green signed a one-year deal with the Bills in March 2025 but was released as a part of final roster cuts in August, signing with Buffalo’s practice squad the day after.
