HOUSTON - The Cleveland Browns claimed James "The Problem" Houston IV after clearing waivers. Detroit Lions released Houston on Tuesday, Nov. 26. after nearly three seasons. Houston had a breakout rookie season with the Detroit Lions in the National Football League. Making seven game appearances, Houston set NFL rookie records with eight sacks.

Houston, the former Detroit Lions edge rusher who was waived by the team on Tuesday, was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday. It's a fitting end to the Lions' midseason edge rusher drama, as Houston ends up with the team from whom the Lions acquired veteran edge rusher Za'Darius Smith at the trade deadline earlier this month.
