38 T.J. Carrie DB

Carrie is expected to start at right cornerback against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Carrie will step into the starting lineup in place of E.J. Gaines (concussion) against the Buccaneers' league-leading passing offense. The 28-year-old has already had success accumulating tackles in a rotational role, and could be an attractive IDP play as long as Gaines remains sidelined.

Carrie posted 12 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 45-42 overtime loss to Oakland.

Carrie's 12 tackles only fell short of linebacker Joe Schobert, who set the pace with 14 total tackles. The 28-year-old is expected to see an increased workload going forward with Terrance Mitchell (wrist) on injured reserve.

Carrie racked up eight tackles (six solo) and a sack during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.

Carrie tied for the team lead in tackles and took part in the Browns' three-sack performance by getting to Drew Brees for his first sack of his career. The 28-year-old was signed to a four-year deal this offseason and is expected to play a significant role in 2018.
