There are few upsides to being 0-13, but one of them is the top spot in the waiver order so that you can have first crack at adding any player dropped by another club.

The Browns took advantage of that spot on Wednesday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the team has claimed running back Darius Jackson a day after the Cowboys dropped him to make room for Darren McFadden’s return to the active roster.

Jackson was a sixth-round pick this year and never got into a regular season game for the Cowboys while playing behind Ezekiel Elliott, Alfred Morris and Lance Dunbar. His chances of seeing more action may be better with the Browns, but Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson’s presence may not make for a significant change in outlook outside of the spot in the standings.

Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports there were multiple other teams interested in Jackson with the 49ers, who have the second waiver spot, included in the group.
