Perrimanย signed a deal with Washington on Sept. 17, but he wasย releasedย four days later without playing in a game.ย
The Browns badly needed to add depth at wide receiver heading into their Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.ย Rashard Higginsย (knee) and Derrick Willies (shoulder) have already been ruled out.ย
Jarvis Landry and Antonioย Callawayย will be Cleveland's top two receivers against the Chargers, but Rodย Streaterย is the only other healthy wideout on the roster who has appeared in a game this season.ย
Perrimanย has been a bust thus far due to injuries. The 25-year-old has 576 yards and three touchdowns on 43 catches in 27 games since being drafted No. 26 overall by the Ravens in 2015.ย
