Elerson Smith: Gets look from Cleveland
Smith (undisclosed) worked out with the Browns on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Smith was waived by the Saints with an injury settlement at the conclusion of training camp. Now that he's healthy, the 2021 fourth-round pick will attempt to catch on with the Browns and provide rotational depth at linebacker. Smith last saw NFL action in 2022 with the Giants, when he registered three tackles (one solo) across five regular-season games.

Elerson Smith: Waived with injury settlement
The Saints waived Smith (undisclosed) from injured reserve Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Smith was set to miss the entire 2024 season after reverting to IR, but he'll now be free to sign with a team once he's fully recovered from his injury. Smith has played in 13 regular-season games since being selected by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, accruing 11 tackles (three solo) and one forced fumble over that span.

Elerson Smith: Tries out with Birds
Smith tried out with Philadelphia on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
After being waived by the Giants back in July, Smith is now looking to earn a chance with their division rival. Because they recently placed 2022 third-rounder Nakobe Dean on IR, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Eagles try to add some depth at linebacker soon.

Elerson Smith: Let go from IR
The Giants waived Smith (Achilles) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Smith ended the 2022 season on IR after he underwent surgery to address a bone spur in his Achilles/heel in mid-December. The 25-year-old was then waived with an injury designation by the Giants on Tuesday, and he reverted to IR after going unclaimed on waivers. Smith will now likely look to catch on with a new team once fully healthy again.

Giants' Elerson Smith: Activated from injured reserve
The Giants activated Smith (lower leg) from injured reserve Saturday, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.
Smith was designated to return from IR and returned to practice Wednesday, marking his first football action since suffering a lower-leg injury at the end of August. The Giants didn't waste any time adding the second-year linebacker to the active roster, so they presumably will get Smith involved during Sunday's matchup, though it's possible he operates primarily on special teams during his season debut.
