Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Practice squad linebacker Deon King has signed to the Cleveland Browns' active roster.

Cleveland announced the move on Wednesday. The Browns also signed running back Josh Rounds to the practice squad.

King appeared in four games for the Browns this season and spent five weeks with the practice squad. The 6-foot, 220-pound defender entered the NFL in 2016 as an undrafted free agent signing by the Dallas Cowboys. He also appeared in six games last season for the Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts. King will wear No. 56 for Cleveland.

Rounds entered the NFL this offseason as an undrafted free agent signing by the Chicago Bears. The 6-foot, 205-pound running back served on the team's practice squad. Rounds ran for 1,168 yards and eight touchdowns on 226 carries at Tulane.

Cleveland has Christian Kirksey, Josh Keyes, Joe Schobert, B.J. Bello and James Burgess Jr. listed at linebacker on the depth chart.

The Browns placed linebacker Jamie Collins on injured reserve on Tuesday due to a knee injury. He is out for the rest of the season.

Schobert leads the Browns with 75 tackles.

The Browns face the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1 p.m. Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.
