Anthony Fabiano

The Browns did not deem former Packers wide receiver Jeff Janis as worthy of their 53-man roster. They released the fifth-year veteran on Friday, along with a host of other moves.

Janis was in the mix for one of Cleveland’s backup jobs but couldn’t impress enough to beat out some younger competitors. Known best for his heroics in a Packers-Cardinals divisional-round game, Janis will avoid outright waivers due to his vested-veteran status. The other players the Browns are parting with Friday will head to waivers.

Here’s the full list:

TE Stephen Baggett
DB Christian Boutte
DB Elijah Campbell
OL Anthony Fabiano
DL Jeremy Faulk
OL Avery Gennesy
OL Fred Lauina
QB Brogan Roback
DB Derron Smith
DL Blaine Woodson

The Browns also waived three players with injury designations.

WR C.J. Board
LB Justin Currie
DL Lenny Jones
