Desmond Harrison Fantasy Stats

The Arizona Cardinals cut offensive tackle Desmond Harrison this week shortly after reports surfaced that he was being charged with assault of a female in North Carolina. He was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns in June after the veteran was released. The Cardinals now have an open roster spot heading into training camp. Players report on July 24, with the first practice July 25.

Cleveland Browns undrafted rookie offensive tackle Desmond Harrison has been named the team's starting left tackle entering Week 1 against the Steelers. Joel Bitonio will move back to his original position of left guard. Harrison will draw a tough assignment against Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward right off the bat. The rookie had a handful of off-field incidents in college and failed a drug test at the combine. Harrison has proved worthy of a starting job this summer, but we'll see if he can handle elite competition from pass rusher in order to keep quarterback Tyrod Taylor from seeing too much pressure.

Cleveland Browns rookie offensive tackle Desmond Harrison could start Week 1 as the starting left tackle against the Steelers. Joel Bitonio could be moved back to his natural position of left guard as a result. That would leave the 33rd overall pick, Austin Corbett, as the odd man out. "He can move, man,'' Bitonio said. "He's athletic. He's definitely the most athletic lineman we have. And he has the length, he has the size, he's the prototypical left tackle when you think of a left tackle. He's like 6-6, long arms, can get back and set. He's done some good things." It would be a risky move for the Browns, with Harrison likely facing off against Steelers defensive end Cam Hayward, who had 12 sacks last year.
