TECleveland Browns
December 29, 2025
Cannella reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Cannella was elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17, and he ultimately led all tight ends with four targets, reeling in two of them for 11 yards. With Harold Fannin (groin) unable to complete the game, Cannella was thrust into a more significant role, and he could be elevated again prior to Sunday's final regular-season contest against the Bengals.

Cannella had a tryout with the Vikings on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Cannella spent the 2022 preseason with Green Bay but failed to make the team. He made the All-USFL team with the New Orleans Breakers in 2022. If signed by the Vikings, Cannella would compete for a roster spot at tight end behind T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver.
