Waived by Browns
The Browns waived Mitchell-Paden (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Mitchell-Paden sustained an undisclosed injury during Cleveland's preseason contest against the Vikings nearly two weeks ago. However, it now appears he's past the issue, as he was dropped by the Browns without an injury designation Tuesday. The Florida Atlantic product has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game, but he may return to the Browns' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Limps off field Saturday
Mitchell-Paden caught all four targets for 59 yards and limped off the field with an undisclosed injury late in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said following the game that he expects Mitchell-Paden to be okay. Mitchell-Paden was one of two tight ends to sustain an injury. Giovanni Ricci was removed late in the first half with a knee injury and immediately ruled out. Stefanski did not provide an update on Ricci, who projects as a special teams player and third tight end. Mitchell-Paden could move up the depth chart pending Ricci's status.

Bumped up from practice squad
The Browns elevated Mitchell-Paden from their practice squad Saturday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mitchell-Paden could be active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, with David Njoku listed as questionable after burning his face and arm in a household accident. If Njoku is out, Mitchell-Paden would figure to slot into a depth tight end role behind Harrison Bryant and Jordan Akins.

Misses cut, lands on practice squad
Mitchell-Paden was a casualty to final roster cuts Tuesday, but he landed on the Browns' practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Mitchell-Paden spent his rookie campaign on the Browns' practice unit and it is looking like deja vu as he enters his second season. He was competing with Harrison Bryant for the No. 3 tight end role during training camp but ultimately came up short.
