Poyer Is a Valuable Player for Browns Special Teams

The 25-year-old appeared in each of Cleveland’s first five games. He didn't tally an interception but was responsible for 36 combined tackles in the defensive backfield and on special teams. He also played 14 games for the Browns last season and notched both of his career interceptions.

Derrick Kindred is one option to receive additional playing time if Poyer is out for significant time. The rookie was a fourth-round draft pick out of TCU and finished his collegiate career with eight interceptions.
