The Browns spent their off day Wednesday signing a punter to replace Reggie Hodges, getting No. 1 pick Phil Taylor acclimated and finalizing other roster moves.
Replacing Hodges (torn Achilles) for now is Richmond McGee, who played college football at Texas, where he was a member of the 2005 national championship team. McGee spent time in training camp with the Eagles in 2008 and spent part of the 2009 and 2010 seasons on the Bears practice squad. 
He was waived by the Bears on Monday and tried out in Berea Wednesday. However, the Browns will keep their eyes out for other punters as they became available.
"He was with us in Philadelphia and I know [special teams coach] Chris Tabor had some experience with him in training camp in Chicago last year," said coach Pat Shurmur on the team's WKNR radio show Wednesday evening. "He did a nice job today so we'll bring him in and he'll be our punter, and just like every position, every guy is out there every day competing to be a Cleveland Brown on Sept. 11.
"He's the guy right now and we'll move forward with that."
