Khaleke Hudson has been signed by the Cleveland Browns after they faced injuries in their linebacker position. Previously part of the New Orleans Saints, he was elevated from the practice squad and played 19 snaps in their opening game against the Panthers. Hudson, a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, has experience from his four seasons with the Washington Commanders, where he started 12 games and played a significant role last season. Hudson’s signing reflects the Browns' need for depth at linebacker as they deal with the absences of Tony Fields II and Mohamoud Diabate.

Khaleke Hudson joins the Saints as a new linebacker, adding depth to an already strong defensive unit. His presence enhances the team's versatility and competitiveness at the position, contributing to the overall strength of the linebacker corps alongside established players like Demario Davis and Pete Werner. Hudson's addition is seen as a move to bolster the defense as the Saints aim to improve their performance this season.

Khaleke Hudson has been released by the Saints as part of the roster cuts to finalize the team's 53-player lineup.
