CLEVELAND — Browns running back Jamal Lewis survived and was not among the 23 cuts made by first-year Cleveland coach Eric Mangini.
Lewis, who has already eclipsed 10,000 career yards, was believed to be in danger of making the Browns' opening-week roster. But the 30-year-old will open the season as Cleveland's starting running back after Mangini trimmed his roster before Saturday's deadline.
The Browns did cut linebacker Beau Bell, a fourth-round pick in 2008, and terminated the contract of wide receiver David Patten, who won three Super Bowl titles with New England.
Mangini is expected to make other moves in the next few days after checking transactions by other teams. Cleveland's roster is at 52, one under the NFL limit.
