BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have waived running back Shaun Draughn to make room for linebacker Jayson DiManche, signed off of Kansas City's practice squad, the team announced on Tuesday.

Draughn had posted earlier on Instagram about his release. The post has since been deleted. The Browns also announced the signing of tight end Brian Leonhardt to the practice squad. They released defensive back Ty Zimmerman to make room.

Draughn, signed by the Browns as a free agent in December 2014, is in his third year out of North Carolina. He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Washington Redskins in 2011. He appeared in four games with the Browns last season. He did not register a carry.

DiManche is in his third season out of Southern Illinois. He appeared in 28 games for the Cincinnati Bengals over the course of the 2013 and 2014 seasons after signing, totaling 28 tackles and one forced fumble.

Draughn injured his thumb and was in a cast for part of training camp this year, missing the first two preseason games. He carried the ball twice this season for the Browns for 10 yards.

Draughn likely became expendable with Robert Turbin returning from an ankle injury Sunday against Denver. Turbin carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards against the Broncos.
