Browns release DE Chris Smith less than three months after girlfriend’s death

Sports

Dec. 3 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Browns released reserve defensive end Chris Smith on Tuesday, less than three months after his girlfriend was killed in a roadside accident on a Cleveland highway. Smith, who was in the second season of a three-year, $ 12 million deal with the Browns, played in nine games this season, recording one tackle and a pass defensed.

"So he came back, and he's worked his tail off for the last week. And I think that's showing up by him getting in better shape." Callaway was expected to serve as the Browns' No. 3 receiver behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. Rashard Higgins has instead held that role through the first week of camp. "The last seven days, he's getting himself back in shape, putting himself in position," offensive coordinator Todd Monken told reporters Thursday. "You...
