Signs to active roster The Browns signed Whiteheart to their active roster Saturday.

He subsequently signed with the team's practice squad and was elevated for last Thursday's Week 12 win over Pittsburgh before reverting back to the practice squad. Whiteheart is now back on the active roster, with fellow tight end Geoff Swaim (concussion) landing on IR in a corresponding move. Over five games this season, Whiteheart has totaled four catches for 42 yards and a touchdown.
