The Cleveland Browns have elevated tight end Blake Whiteheart from the practice squad for the team’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That move comes after the team ruled out tight end Geoff Swaim, who is dealing with a concussion.

Whiteheart has played in four games for the Browns this season. He has three receptions for 13 yards and a touchdown this year. The Wake Forest product has played in six games over the first two years of his career.

The Browns will now have David Njoku, Jordan Akins, and Whiteheart as their three tight ends against the Steelers. The team still runs a good deal of 12 personnel, so having at least three tight ends to pull off those sets seemed essential to the offense. Without Swaim, it simply would not have been possible.

With projections for wind and snow in the forecast as well for the game, it could be a run-heavy gamescript this week, which would lend itself to heavier personnel for the Browns at times.
