Swaim (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Swaim didn't play Week 12 due to a concussion and wasn't able to practice this week. The issue has resulted in his placement on IR, and he isn't eligible to return until Week 17. The Browns signed Blake Whiteheart to their active roster off their practice squad Saturday to take over as the team's No. 3 tight end in Swaim's stead.

Swaim (concussion) didn't practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Swaim has missed both of Cleveland's first two practices this week as he remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The veteran tight end has had a minimal role in the Browns offense this season, logging just one catch for seven yards over eight games.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Swaim has entered concussion protocol and won't play Thursday against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Swaim presumably suffered the concussion at some point during the Browns' 35-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday, when he went without a target across nine snaps on offense in addition to playing 13 snaps on special teams. With the Browns facing a quick turnaround for their Week 12 game, it's no surprise that Swaim is already being ruled out from clearing the five-step protocol in time to suit up versus Pittsburgh.

Swaim caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over Baltimore in Week 8. The target was Swaim's first in six games with the Browns. The 31-year-old has worked his way from the practice squad onto the active roster and out-snapped Jordan Akins for a fourth consecutive game. Neither backup can expect much of a workload while David Njoku is healthy.

The Browns signed Swaim to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday. Swaim had been elevated for Cleveland's past three contests, so the Browns had to sign the veteran tight end to the 53-man roster in order for him to be available for Sunday's road matchup against the Eagles. In those three games Swaim has played 10, 24 and 20 offensive snaps, respectively, but he's yet to earn his first target of the season.
