Browns sign former Broncos corner and waive one after failed physical

With the Cleveland Browns' 2026 training camp about to kick off, the team made a roster move on Tuesday when they signed former Panthers and Denver Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis. In order to make room for Mathis on the roster, the team waived corner Dom Jones, who failed a physical following his knee injury last season.

It's disappointing to see Jones fail a physical and get waived before training camp; he showed some flashes at times last season before his injury in November. There is always a chance that Jones comes back once he is healthy, but for now the team will get a look at Damarri Mathis and see if he can provide depth at corner.

Mathis was a fourth-round pick out of Pittsburgh in 2022 by the Denver Broncos and spent four seasons with the team before signing with the Carolina Panthers last year. He missed the entire season with the Panthers after tearing his ACL in September. Mathis spent his time as an outside corner when he was on the field for the Broncos.
