Figured it deserves its own thread.
2020 rules
• 16 total
• 4 can be protected • 6 can be vets
• 2 (?) can be game day available
At the moment:
AJ Green, CB
Robert Jackson, CB
Taywan Taylor, WR
Javonte Moffatt, S
Garrett Gilbert, QB
Brady Aiello, OL
Dontrell Hilliard, RB
Benny LeMay, RB
Johnny Stanton, FB
Ja’Marcus Bradley, WR
Michael Dunn, G
Montrel Meander, LB
Elijah Benton, S
Cody Parkey, K
• If Pharaoh Brown makes it through, you‘d think he’d be back to the PS. • Parkey is the only player who wasn’t here for camp
I just posted a tweet in the Roster Moves thread from Fred Greetham. Fred thinks if Pharaoh Brown and Eli Ankou clear waivers, they will get spots 15 and 16 on the PS.
One thing I don't know, are the 4 protected PS players disclosed?
#Colts have claimed former #Browns DT Eli Ankou, per source.
I was hoping we could sign him to our practice squad.
#Browns Sign T Greg Senat, RB John Kelly to Practice Squad

John Kelly looks good for the Practice Squad. I read he had a very good camp and he looks good in the film below.
And we have our 4 protected players.
QB Garrett Gilbert
S Jovante Moffatt
K Cody Parkey
OT Greg Senat
The Browns will also be able to make two practice squad players active on Sunday in Baltimore as a result of another rule change. One of those extra two actives must be an offensive lineman. Based on protecting him, that could very well be Senat.

Valuing Moffatt and Senat that much says a lot. QB and K are leaguewide strategies because nobody else can fill in... but a safety and a tackle (when we have others on PS) reveals more.
Could have another Poyer in Moffatt? Named a captain for Bills today. Miss 33.
I have a feeling Dontrell Hilliard is going to get picked up by another team and develop into a very good running RB in this league. I've always liked him. We just don't have the carries to give him with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt on the starting roster. Was a bit surprised he lost the 3rd spot to D'Ernest Johnson, though I haven't gotten to see Johnson play as much.
#Browns have signed Tanzel Smart, DT and Joey Ivie, DT.
The #Browns have released Benny LeMay, RB and Brady Aiello, OT from their Practice Squad
