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.

James Houston's stint in Detroit has come to an end. The Lions announced that they waived the pass rusher today.

The Detroit Lions released reserve defensive end James Houston, cutting ties with a player who failed to produce as well as he did during his rookie season.
