With their season opener approaching, the Cleveland Browns are finalizing their 2018 roster.

On Monday, the Browns announced that the following 10 players will comprise their 2018 practice squad:

  • OL Christian DiLauro
  • DL Daniel Ekuale
  • DL Zaycoven Henderson
  • RB Dontrell Hilliard
  • OL Kyle Kalis
  • TE Pharoah McKever
  • DB Jeremiah McKinnon
  • DB Montrel Meander
  • WR De'Mari Scott
  • LB Brady Sheldon

Additionally, defensive back Tigie Sankoh has been signed to the team's international program practice squad, meaning he won't count toward the traditional 10-player allotment.

Of the 11 players signed, nine spent time with the Browns during training camp and the preseason. The two newcomers come in the form of Kalis and McKever, who spent their preseasons with the Washington Redskins and Pittsburgh Steelers, respectively.

A 6-foot-4, 306-pound guard, Kalis is a graduate of Lakewood St. Edward's High School who spent his college career playing at Michigan. McKever, meanwhile, is a rookie tight end out of Florida Internationa who caught 3 passes for 17 yards during preseason play.

The Browns will open their 2018 season on Sunday when they host the Steelers at 1 p.m.
