The Cleveland Browns placed running back Jerome Ford and center Ethan Pocic on injured reserve Tuesday, while center Darrian Dalcourt was signed to the practice squad.

The Browns also signed defensive tackle Keith Cooper Jr. to the practice squad while defensive end Ochaun Mathis and linebacker Mark Robinson were released from the practice squad.

Ford, 26, has not played more than 17 snaps in a game since Week 6 when he was slowed by a hamstring injury. In 13 games (no starts) this season, he has 73 yards rushing on 24 carries and 26 receptions for 103 yards.

Pocic, 30, came away with an Achilles injury in Sunday's 31-29 home loss to the Tennessee Titans. He started in all 13 games he played this season and has 97 starts in 114 games over nine seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and Browns.
