Why?

I don't see either player making the 53. Am I wrong?

I saw Ray Ventrone at Safety with the 1's early in the Browns' second pre-season game against Detroit I believe.

Because they need some scrubs to play this week and they might as well get a look at some scrubs they haven't seen yet.

Like his older brother Bubba, Ross Ventrone started his NFL career as a Patriots UDFA (last year).

Ventrone is a well-known name to Pats fans.

Underwood is 6-1, 178, but fast. Quickest three-cone in his 2009 draft class. Had under 500 yards receiving his last year at Rutgers.
