The Browns waived defensive end Marcus Benard from injured reserve today. Benard dislocated his left elbow Aug. 24 in a preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles and was waived/injured Aug. 27. He then landed on IR with the Browns because no other team claimed him. The Browns also cut linebacker Benjamin Jacobs from their practice squad today. Last season, he appeared in five games with the team. Source: Akron Beacon Journal
