Ifedi signed with Cleveland in April and suffered a hand injury in the team's second preseason contest against the Vikings. The offensive lineman will now look to secure another opportunity elsewhere.
Ifedi suffered a hand injury during Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota and has been ruled out from returning, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Ifedi signed with the Browns in April after spending part of last season on the team's practice squad. He had been on the outside looking in for a spot on the 53-man roster prior to getting hurt Saturday, and the injury could spell an end to his chances if it causes him to miss additional time.

Browns' Germain Ifedi: Signs with Cleveland
Rotowire
The Browns signed Ifedi on Thursday.
The veteran offensive lineman has appeared in 102 games (83 starts) across his seven-year NFL career, with his most recent in-game action coming back in 2022. Ifedi spent part of his 2023 campaign with the Browns' practice squad, and he's now expected to compete for a depth role on the team's offensive line as the offseason progresses.
Buffalo will sign Ifedi to its 53-man roster, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Ifedi was released by Detroit on Sunday but has already found a new landing spot with the Bills. The offensive tackle was a first-round pick by Seattle in the 2016 draft but hasn't lived up that billing thus far. However, Ifedi has plenty of experience, playing in 102 games -- mostly as a starter -- through his NFL career.
Ifedi joined the Lions in May after being cut loose in March by Atlanta. The 29-year-old started all 76 regular-season games over his first five years between the Seahawks and the Bears. Ifedi was limited to just nine games with seven starts in Chicago during the 2021 campaign, and he appeared in all 17 games without any starts for the Falcons last year. He'll now look for a new home heading into the 2023 regular season, and he'll likely fall into the category of a primary reserve rather than a starting-caliber offensive lineman moving forward.

Germain Ifedi: Gets cut loose
Rotowire
Ifedi was released by the Falcons on Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitutionreports.
Ifedi spent last season with Atlanta and re-signed with the team in March, but it appears the Falcons have decided to go in a different direction. The veteran tackle, a first-round selection in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Seahawks, played just six snaps last season despite starting 83 of his previous 85 games between Seattle and Chicago. He'll now have to find an opportunity elsewhere.
The Falcons re-signed Ifedi to a one-year deal Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ifedi will remain in Atlanta, where he played just six snaps despite being active for all 17 games last season. The 2016 first-round pick is expected to fill a similar depth role at offensive tackle during the upcoming season.
