Browns punt Lee for failing to tackle his return man

-

BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns have traded punter Andy Lee to Carolina after he failed to attempt a tackle in an exhibition loss. Lee pulled up near the sideline and made no effort to bring down Buccaneers return man Adam Humphries, who brought back a punt 73 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter of Tampa Bay’s 30-13 win on Friday. When he came to the sideline, Lee, a three-time Pro Bowler with San Francisco, was met by Browns coach Hue Jackson, who angrily voiced his displeasur­e. The Browns sent Lee to the Panthers for punter Kasey Redfern and a 2018 fourth-round pick.
