Latu signed with Cleveland's practice squad Thursday.
The 2023 third-round selection of the 49ers missed his entire rookie season due to a meniscus injury. Latu entered training camp competing for a depth role at tight end, and despite having a solid preseason in which he recorded eight catches (on 10 targets) for 84 yards, he was waived by San Francisco on Tuesday. David Njoku (undisclosed) and Jordan Akins are the only two tight ends on the Browns' active roster, and if either of them were to miss time, Latu would be a prime candidate to be elevated to the active roster.
