Browns waive former Flash

BEREA– The Cleveland Browns waived wide receiver Luke Floriea with an injury designation on Monday after the Mentor native suffered a hamstring injury in the team’s preseason opener.

Floriea, 23, signed with Cleveland this spring as an undrafted free agent out of Kent State, where he caught 100 passes for 1,321 yards and 12 touchdowns in his college career. He was injured while making a highlight-reel one-handed catch against Carolina.

If unclaimed on waivers, Floriea would revert to the Browns’ injured reserve list.

The six-time Pro Bowl selection is scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning. The ticket carries a fine of about $250.

Garrett, 29, is entering his ninth NFL season.
