Rubin agreed to a contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the Everett Herald reports.

Following a seven-year stint in Cleveland that included 75 starts in 99 games, Rubin has found a new NFL home. It's been a few years since he was anywhere near the IDP radar, and while the Seahawks are thin at defensive tackle, Rubin won't necessarily be a starter.

Rubin (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Rubin will resume his regular role at nose tackle in defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil's 3-4 scheme. He's coming off his best statistical output of the season in Week 12, when he tallied four combined tackles and a sack against the Falcons.

Rubin (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Rubin will be back in the middle of the Browns' defensive line after missing the last two games.

Rubin (ankle) is not expected to require surgery, although it's still unclear when he'll be able to return, ESPN reports.

Rubin has missed Cleveland's past two games due to an ankle injury, which has resulted in Ishmaa'ily Kitchen starting at nose tackle in the Browns' 3-4 scheme. Still without a timetable for his return, Rubin's absence is expected to carry into this Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Rubin (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Rubin will miss his second straight contest, once again joining Phil Taylor (knee) and Billy Winn (quad) on the inactive list. Ishmaa'ily Kitchen will draw the start at nose tackle in his stead, accompanying Desmond Bryant and John Hughes on the starting defensive line.

Rubin (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Rubin will join fellow defensive lineman Phil Taylor (knee) and Billy Winn (quad) on the inactive list Sunday, leaving the Browns a bit thin at that position. As a result, look for backups Ishmaa'ily Kitchen and Armonty Bryant to see plenty of extra work.

Rubin has impressed new head coach Mike Pettine with his run-stopping ability during the first few days of camp, ESPN Cleveland reports.

Rubin is entering his seventh NFL season with the Browns, and despite being a bit banged up during team OTAs, he's back in pads and making an impression for his run defense. The 28-year-old has two seasons (2010-11) of 80-plus combined tackles under his belt, and could be a reasonable IDP option in deeper formats under Pettine's 3-4 defensive scheme in the coming year.

After meeting with Browns officials at the Combine, the agent for LE Ahtyba Rubin is confident the team will retain Rubin at his current salary.

After an up-and-down 2013 campaign, Rubin is owed a $6.6 million base salary and $300,000 workout bonus. "They're happy to have him on team, no changes to his salary," agent Alan Herman told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rubin turns 28 in July. The Browns don't necessarily need cap room, but could lower Rubin's figure by signing him to a long-term contract extension.

Profootballtalk reports the Browns may release DL Ahtyba Rubin.

Browns declared LE Ahtyba Rubin, QB Brian Hoyer, TE MarQueis Gray, OT Martin Wallace, RG Shawn Lauvao, DE Armonty Bryant and LB Paul Hazel inactive for Week 2 against the Ravens.

Billy Winn will start in Rubin's place, leaving a soft spot in the Browns' otherwise strong front seven.

Browns LE Ahtyba Rubin (calf) is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Ravens.

It's a little boost for Ray Rice and the Ravens running game. Perhaps the only crack in the Browns' dominant front seven is now at left end, where Billy Winn is filling in for Rubin.

Browns declared LE Ahtyba Rubin (calf) inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

It's a major upgrade for Lamar Miller and the Dolphins running game. Rubin hurt the calf during Friday's practice, leaving Billy Winn as the starter at left end. The Browns will have starting right corner Buster Skrine (shoulder). Their inactives: QB Brian Hoyer, TE MarQueis Gray, OLB Barkevious Mingo, OT Martin Wallace, G Shawn Lauvao and LB Paul Hazel.

Browns LE Ahtyba Rubin (calf) is not expected to play on Sunday versus Miami.

Rubin is listed as questionable on the injury report after injuring the calf in Friday's practice. It's a big loss for the Cleveland defense. John Hughes and Billy Winn will fill in next to NT Phil Taylor and opposite RE Desmond Bryant. Upgrade Dolphins RB Lamar Miller slightly. He's a middling RB2.

The Browns added LE Ahtyba Rubin to their injury report after he missed Friday's practice with a calf injury.

He's listed as questionable. Rubin missed time with a calf injury last season, as well. A 6-foot-2, 330-pound run clogger, Rubin's absence could give Dolphins RB Lamar Miller a few more running lanes in Sunday's opener.

The Browns are expected to rotate Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor between nose tackle and left end.

Desmond Bryant is locked in at right end. Rubin (6'2/330) and Taylor (6'3/335) both possess nose tackle-type size and are light on their feet. DC Ray Horton could flip them back and forth ala Ryan Pickett and B.J. Raji in Green Bay. "We're not necessarily going to pigeonhole people," Horton said. "We can mix and match." Cleveland's front seven will be much improved in 2013.

Browns DL Ahtyba Rubin has shed weight in anticipation of his new role at DE.

A nose tackle throughout his career, Rubin will primarily be used at left defensive end in the Browns' new 3-4 scheme while seeing spot duty behind Phil Taylor at the nose. He's slimmed down to 306 pounds in an effort to improve as a pass-rusher after playing around 320 in 2012. There have been whispers that Rubin may be available for trade due to being a poor fit in the new defense.

The Browns are expected to use Ahtyba Rubin at defensive end in Ray Horton's new 3-4 defense, with Phil Taylor at nose tackle.

Rubin will likely play left end with Desmond Bryant at right end. With a healthy Taylor and Rubin complemented by Bryant, and Paul Kruger signed to play rush linebacker, Cleveland's front seven may be the most improved in the league.

Browns DT Ahtyba Rubin (calf) practiced on a limited basis this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Rubin missed the last three weeks with a calf injury, but is expected to return Sunday. It will be the first time both Rubin and Phil Taylor (pectoral) will be active for the Browns this season.

Browns DT Ahtyba Rubin (calf) has resumed practicing.

Rubin has missed three of the past four games, but says he's feeling good as the Browns come out of their bye. With Phil Taylor (pectoral) also healthy now, the interior of the Browns' defense has a chance to be special. Both defensive tackles excel in run defense.

Browns DT Ahtyba Rubin (calf) is expected to be sidelined through Cleveland's Week 10 bye.

The Browns will continue to start rookies Billy Winn and John Hughes at defensive tackle. It's unclear whether Phil Taylor (pectoral) will be activated from PUP in time for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Rubin's absence will be felt in run defense. He has 21 tackles and one sack through six starts.
