Jayme Mitchell gives Browns a healthy body at defensive end.
View full sizeJayme Mitchell BEREA -- The Browns confirmed they acquired defensive end Jayme Mitchell from Minnesota for an undisclosed draft choice in 2012.
Mitchell, 6-6 and 285 pounds, was signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi in 2006.
In 29 NFL games, he had five sacks and one forced fumble. One of the sacks came in the Vikings' 2010 season-opener at New Orleans.
The Browns have been shorthanded on the defensive line all season because of injuries. They seldom have fielded more than two defensive linemen on passing downs.
To make room for Mitchell, the Browns waived defensive back Derrick Roberson.
