The Story in 60 Seconds

The Cleveland Browns have waived running back Audric Estime less than three weeks after signing him off the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad. Estime made only one appearance for Cleveland, rushing nine times for 19 yards and a touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens on October 18. His departure comes after fellow running backs Dylan Sampson and Quinshon Judkins returned to health.

Head coach Todd Monken addressed the team's ongoing rushing struggles following a 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where the Browns managed only 34 rushing yards. Cleveland did not announce a corresponding roster move, leaving an open roster spot ahead of the upcoming November 10 trade deadline.
