Moore, a fourth-round pick of the Packers in the 2018 draft, was signed to the Browns practice squad on Nov. 25, 2019.
Walker was originally signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He played for the Tampa Bay Vipers of the XFL before the Browns signed him on Aug. 22.
Cleveland’s roster is at 75 and must be reduced to 53 by 4 p.m. eastern Saturday.
