Cleveland signed McKitty to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday. The Browns signed McKitty to their practice squad in December, and now he'll start the new league year with them. Key contributor Jordan Akins is not a sure thing to return in the offseason, meaning a restructuring of Cleveland's tight ends group may be forthcoming.
The Browns signed McKitty to the practice squad Wednesday. McKitty spent time during the offseason with Buffalo, but this is his first time joining a practice squad during the 2024 regular season. The tight end appeared in six games with the Chargers back in 2023, but in that span he didn't record any offensive statistics.
McKitty was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports. McKitty signed a reserve/future contract with Buffalo in January, reeling in a 20-yard reception on his only target in the preseason. If the tight end clears waivers, he could join the Bills' practice squad ahead of the 2024 campaign.
