Deaton (knee) was waived by the Browns with a failed physical designation Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Deaton suffered a torn ACL in August of 2022 and is apparently still recovering from the issue. He'll first aim to get healthy and then search for a new opportunity around the league.

Deaton (knee) reverted to the Browns' injured reserve list Tuesday.
Deaton was waived with an injury designation last Thursday. He already had missed his rookie season after suffering a torn ACL during training camp last year and was not yet fully recovered. The 2022 seventh-round selection will now have to wait another year to make his NFL debut unless he's able to reach an injury settlement with the Browns.

Dawson Deaton: Waived with injury designation
Rotowire
The Browns waived/injured Deaton (knee) on Thursday, Chris Easterling of The Akron Beacon Journal reports.
A seventh-round pick last year, Deaton missed his entire rookie season with a torn ACL. He was doing drills off to the side during the spring. If he's not claimed off waivers, Deaton will revert to Cleveland's injured reserve list. There's a good chance he's eventually cut with an injury settlement. Deaton was let go to make room for CB BoPete Keyes.

Browns' Dawson Deaton: Rehab continues
Rotowire
Deaton (knee) was spotted working out on the sidelines of Cleveland's minicamp this week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
The 2022 seventh-round pick missed the majority of the preseason and the entirety of the regular season after tearing his ACL on Aug. 15. Deaton's recovery process seems to be going well, though there is no current timetable for his return. Once he's fully healthy, the Texas Tech product will most likely compete for a depth spot on the Browns' offensive line.
