Derrick Kindred: Done in Cleveland
The Browns are waiving Kindred, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
A 2016 fourth-round pick, Kindred had 144 tackles (105 solo) and two picks in 42 games (17 starts) for the Browns, struggling with coverage and missed tackles along the way. His experience on both defense and special teams could lead to a waiver claim, but it's unlikely that any team would view Kindred as a desirable starter. Meanwhile, the Browns reportedly have shown interest in free agents Eric Berry and Tre Boston as options for the starting job alongside Damarious Randall.

Browns' Derrick Kindred: Splitting first-team reps
Head coach Hue Jackson said Kindred split first-team reps with 2017 first-round pick Jabrill Peppers during spring workouts, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
Kindred held down the starting job at strong safety throughout the 2017 season, but Peppers is expected to see an expanded role in his second year as a pro. Training camp and the preseason will likely decide which of the two opens the 2018 campaign with the first-team defense, but both figure to have a key role in coordinator Gregg Williams' retooled unit this season.

Browns' Derrick Kindred: Moves to IR
The Browns placed Kindred (wrist) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Kindred sustained the wrist injury in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Ravens, with the team's medical staff determining soon after it was best to shutter the defensive back for the season. With Kindred sidelined for the final two games, Jabrill Peppers could slide over to his more natural strong safety spot, in which case Kai Nacua and Derron Smith would likely fight for time at free safety. Kindred wraps up the 2017 campaign with 54 tackles, six pass breakups and one interception across 14 games (10 starts).

Kindred will start training camp as the No. 1 free safety for the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

As a rookie in 2016, Kindred racked up 46 tackles and five passes defensed in 12 games.

Kindred (5-foot-10, 207 pounds) was a leading contributor on a tough TCU defense the last two years, and he tested above the average at the Combine by running a 4.50-second 40-yard dash and adding 37.5-inch vertical and 123-inch broad jumps.
