Browns Sign Damarri Mathis, Release Dom Jones

Roster Moves Ahead of Training Camp

The Browns bolstered their cornerback group just days before training camp kicks off. Damarri Mathis officially joins the active roster as the team adds depth at the position. Meanwhile, Dom Jones was released after a failed physical, clearing roster spots for new talent. The timing gives the coaching staff a brief window to integrate the newcomers.

Mathis’s Journey from Broncos to Panthers

Mathis was drafted by the Broncos in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and spent three seasons with Denver, appearing in 43 games with 18 starts. During those years he recorded 103 tackles, three tackles for loss, and nine passes defensed. After his stint, the Panthers claimed him off waivers in August of last year, but an ACL tear forced him to miss the entire season. The injury reset his momentum and left him seeking a fresh start with a new team.

Looking Ahead with the Browns

By signing Mathis, the Browns add a player with proven NFL experience at cornerback. His background of playing for two different franchises demonstrates versatility and adaptability. The team will now integrate him into the defensive scheme as part of camp competitions.
