Horn reunites with college quarterback Shedeur Sanders and gives Cleveland another option in the return game after logging 11 catches as a rookie.

- Cleveland travels to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, while the Browns prepare for a September 27 matchup against Horn's former team, the Panthers, where he competes for a depth role.
