Browns claim OT Kilian Zierer off waivers
The Browns also announced they waived fullback Troy Hairston and wide receiver Winston Wright.
Zierer did not begin playing football until the age of 16, but with a wingspan of 83 5/8 to go with his 6-foot-7, 304-pound frame, Zierer earned a college scholarship.
He played at College of the Canyons and was the No.1 JUCO prospect at his position, according to Rivals, when he signed with Auburn. Zierer started every game at left tackle for the Tigers in 2022.
He signed with the Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2023 but went on injured reserve late in training camp with an ankle injury. In 2024, Zierer spent the season on the Texans' practice squad as part of the International Player Pathway Program.

Bruno Fernandes says Manchester United side were ‘lazy', calls for signings to increase competition
Bruno Fernandes called his Manchester United team 'lazy' and called for more squad competition after their draw to Everton on Sunday. Club captain Fernandes called the United States tour a 'positive' as they won the friendly 2025 Premier League Summer Series, despite Everton holding the side to a 2-2 draw, but called for change as the transfer window approaches the deadline day on September 1. Advertisement 'I don't want to have a dig at anyone, but I think the club is doing the best they can in terms of all the financial situations they talk about,' he told Sky Sports after the game. 'I don't know about it, I'm not involved in that. But obviously it was crystal clear we needed more competition for the players that were here. We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a bit more and to have more to do to get into the starting line-up. 'I think that's what the club and the manager are trying to do and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that.' Head coach Ruben Amorim also commented on the Manchester club's transfer window before the game, keeping the door open for future signings. 'We are always looking to improve the team. And we have some characteristics that we would like to have,' he said. 'But again, it depends on the market. It depends on the sales. We'll see. But I'm really happy.' United have made three first-team signings this summer, bringing in forwards Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford and full-back Diego Leon from Cerro Porteno. RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko is another player the club have been interested in, but their interest has been matched by Newcastle United who put in a bid, that was deemed insufficient, for the forward on Saturday. Manchester United beat West Ham 2-1 and Bournemouth 4-1 to win the PL Summer Series. Their 2025-26 Premier League season opener is against Arsenal on August 17.

CBS Quietly Removes Former NFL Star From 2025 Broadcast Crew
CBS Quietly Removes Former NFL Star From 2025 Broadcast Crew originally appeared on The Spun. The NFL on CBS will look a bit different this upcoming season. The network has decided to move on from a three-time Pro Bowler. Last week, CBS unveiled its game announcers for the 2025 regular season. As you'd expect, the ton names like Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Ian Eagle will remain key contributors for the network. Former NFL running back Tiki Barber, however, was left off this list from CBS.

Though we're not entirely sure why, CBS has replaced Barber with Charles Davis. Here's the 2025 broadcast roster for CBS: Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson Ian Eagle, J.J. Watt and Evan Washburn Kevin Harlan, Trent Green and Melanie Collins Andrew Catalon, Charles Davis, Jason McCourty and AJ Ross Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta and Aditi Kinkhabwala Even though Barber won't be part of a CBS crew this NFL season, he'll keep himself busy on Sundays. He'll team up with John Schmeelk for gameday broadcasts. "I am really excited to be joining the Giants gameday radio broadcast team on WFAN. This organization has meant so much to me, professionally and personally," Barber said. "The Giants have a long history of legendary broadcasters and Wellington Mara always told them to call it like they see it because our fans know better. I look forward to providing analysis and insight that Giants fans appreciate." The former New York Giants running back will also continue hosting "Evan & Tiki" every weekday on WFAN Quietly Removes Former NFL Star From 2025 Broadcast Crew first appeared on The Spun on Aug 3, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
