With the move to IR, the 26-year-old will finish the season with 12 tackles (five solo). Jowon Briggs and Khalen Saunders are expected to have expanded roles on the defensive line behind Harrison Phillips with Tufele out.

Won't play Sunday
Tufele (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

On track to play Sunday
Tufele (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Tufele spent Week 8 at Cincinnati on the sideline with a knee injury, but with the benefit of a Week 9 bye, it now looks like he'll be ready to play in Week 10 versus the Browns. After three-time All Pro Quinnen Williams was traded to Dallas on Tuesday, Tufele now projects for a starting role on the defensive line.
