Green, a sixth-round pick, is QB4 on the Browns' depth chart. The team is planning to keep Green on the 53-man roster and use him down the stretch in some capacity. However, if the Browns cannot keep all four quarterbacks on the active roster, they would attempt to get Green through waivers and onto the practice squad, though this is considered risky given the number of QB injuries around the league this season.
