Browns Waive TE Dae’Quan Wright 12 Days After Claim, Clearing LSU Return

Summary
Cleveland waived Dae’Quan Wright on Sunday, giving up its contractual rights and clearing the tight end to return to college with LSU.
The move followed a week of whiplash court rulings on player eligibility: Wright appeared to win the right to go back to school on Wednesday, then faced another ruling Friday that seemed to stall it.
Wright had been claimed by the Browns on Aug. 11 and even warmed up in uniform Saturday, briefly suggesting he might keep competing for a 53-man roster spot or practice-squad role.
LSU coach Lane Kiffin previously coached Wright at Ole Miss, and the case underscores how shifting NCAA eligibility rules are blurring the line between college football and the NFL.
