Former Kansas City Chiefs fullback Michael Burton was placed on the Cleveland Browns' injured reserve list on November 14 ahead of the team's Week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans.
Burton was a member of the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVII roster and originally entered the league as a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2015 NFL Draft.
The veteran fullback has enjoyed a long and fruitful career, playing for seven teams over the course of his 11 years in the NFL.
Cleveland announced its decision to place Burton on injured reserve in a post to the Browns' official Twitter account:

Though Burton was never a superstar during his two-season tenure in Kansas City, he still managed to tally 33 yards on 13 attempts in 33 games with the Chiefs, and even managed to score one rushing touchdown. He also recorded five receptions for 42 yards in Andy Reid's offense.
