Cleveland Browns sign Alex Tanney from Dallas Cowboys practice squad

The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Alex Tanney from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad.

The AFC North side lost Brian Hoyer to a season-ending knee injury earlier this year, while current starter Jason Campbell is suffering from a concussion, leaving Brandon Weeden as the only healthy quarterback on the team's roster.

The 26-year-old joined the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent last year, but spent his rookie season on injured reserve before joining the Cowboys this off-season.

The Browns face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
