Browns trade for secondary depth

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns today acquired defensive back Therrian Fontenot from Green Bay for wide receiver Carlton Brewster to give their injury-riddled secondary some depth.

Fontenot, an undrafted rookie free agent last season, appeared in one game on special teams and spent the rest of the year on the Packers' practice squad.

The Browns needed to add a defensive back because of injuries to cornerbacks Gary Baxter and Daylon McCutcheon, both of whom might not be ready for the season opener Sept. 10.

Brewster was signed by the Browns in May as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Ferris State. He caught three passes for 21 yards in two preseason games.
