Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Two long catches
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 8:26 PM
Bond recorded two receptions on four targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Bond was one of the few bright spots in Sunday's blowout loss, as he accounted for nearly half of Shedeur Sanders' yardage with long catches of 47 and 42 yards. It was his second time showing strong rapport with Sanders on deep passes, as he also had a pair of 29-yard catches in Week 12. Bond will likely remain inconsistent due to his role in the Cleveland offense -- this marks the first time that he's topped two targets in the team's last five games -- but he has shown the ability to deliver splash plays. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Targeted 14 times
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 8:07 PM
Fannin recorded seven receptions on 14 targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 31-1 loss to the Bears. He added one rush for two yards.
Analysis: Fannin accounted for nearly half of Cleveland's total targets, though his inefficient day reflected that of Shedeur Sanders. He was targeted in all depths of the field, but his deep opportunities were either intercepted or fell incomplete. While his results will likely remain inconsistent, it's clear that Fannin is Sanders' preferred target and that he will remain heavily involved in the offense. |

Jerry Jeudy Jerry Jeudy Held in check in Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 7:35 PM
Jeudy caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Jeudy was limited to his fewest catches since Week 12, while his 22 receiving yards were his least since Week 11. The wide receiver has now finished with fewer than 40 yards in four of the last five games and eight times overall this season. Jeudy will look to bounce back at home in Week 16 against the Bills. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Shut down by Bears
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 6:48 PM
Judkins rushed the ball 12 times for 21 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears. He added three receptions on four targets for minus-4 yards.
Analysis: Despite the muted number of rushing attempts, Judkins continued to lead the Browns' backfield. However, he found running room scarce, with his longest gain of the day going for only four yards. Judkins has now been held below 50 rushing yards in three of his last four games, all of which have been with Shedeur Sanders under center. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Hype slows in blowout loss
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 4:48 PM
Sanders completed 18 of 35 passes for 177 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears. He added two rushes for 24 yards.
Analysis: Sanders had given the Browns' offense some signs of life in his three starts, and he was coming off the best performance in Week 14. However, that momentum came to a sudden halt in Sunday's blowout loss, as he turned the ball over three times while also taking five sacks. The lone positive was that Sanders showed some rapport with Isaiah Bond on deep balls, as the duo connected for long gains of 47 and 42 yards. Sanders will draw another tough assignment in Week 15 against the Bills. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Available for Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 11:13 AM
Corley (concussion) is active for Sunday's clash against Chicago.
Analysis: Corley suffered a concussion last Sunday against Tennessee, but he's since been able to clear concussion protocol and is set to suit up Sunday. The second-year wideout has had an inconsistent role in Cleveland's offense, though he had logged a snap share north of 25 percent in each of the four weeks prior to getting hurt. Corley has also been working as one of the team's top kick returners. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Set to face Bears
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 10:48 AM
Tillman (concussion/ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Tillman didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, but he managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up, which also signifies that he cleared the league's concussion protocol. Tillman has yet to show much rapport with Shedeur Sanders, as he has only two catches for 28 yards across the three games that Sanders has started. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Questionable for Week 15
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 1:52 PM
Corley (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The second-year pro from Western Kentucky sustained a concussion in the Week 14 loss to the Titans, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. Corley has appeared in nine games for the Browns this season, catching five of six targets for 34 yards and rushing seven times for 79 yards while operating as one of the team's top kick returners. He must still clear concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 15, and if he's unable to do so, Trayveon Williams will likely serve as one of Cleveland's top kick returners. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Listed as questionable
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 12:15 PM
Tillman (concussion/ribs) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Tillman is managing a rib injury and also will need to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be eligible to play Sunday. Isaiah Bond will stand to benefit from increased opportunities in the receiving game if Tillman ultimately remains sidelined Week 15. |

David Njoku David Njoku Won't play Sunday
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 12:10 PM
Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Njoku didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and it's been confirmed that he'll sit out Sunday's contest and eye a potential return to action Sunday, Dec. 21 against the Bills. In Njoku's absence this weekend, fellow TE Harold Fannin figures to be busy versus Chicago, with Blake Whiteheart available to mix in. |

Dylan Sampson Dylan Sampson Ruled out for Week 15
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 12:06 PM
Sampson (calf/hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Sampson will miss his first game of the season while managing a pair of injuries. His next chance to take the field will come Week 16 against the Bills. As long as Sampson is sidelined, Cleveland's main depth options behind top RB Quinshon Judkins will be Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Remains sidelined at practice
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 11:57 AM
Tillman (concussion/ribs) is not in line to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tillman is missing a second consecutive practice while nursing a pair of injury sustained during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14. He'll have one more chance to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago, but at this stage Tillman appears to be trending in the wrong direction. He'll need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol before returning to the Browns' starting lineup. |

David Njoku David Njoku Still not practicing
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 11:49 AM
Njoku (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Njoku also managed a knee injury ahead of Week 14 action, but now that the tight end is set to log back-to-back 'DNPs' this time around, what he does (if anything) at practice Friday will loom large in terms of his status for Sunday's game against the Bears. If Njoku is out or limited this weekend, Blake Whiteheart would be in line to see added TE snaps behind Harold Fannin. |
|
Dylan Sampson Dylan Sampson Won't practice Thursday
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 11:47 AM
Sampson (calf/hand) is not in line to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sampson will miss back-to-back practices to begin Week 15, making his availability for Sunday's road matchup against the Bears look legitimately uncertain. Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams will be candidates to handle increased complementary roles behind starting running back Quinshon Judkins if Sampson is unable to play Sunday. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley LP on Wednesday, still in protocol
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 1:10 PM
Corley (concussion) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday but is still in concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Corley is making progress in his recovery from a concussion sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Titans. In order to gain clearance to face the Bears on Sunday, Corley would need to progress to full practice participation by Friday, then be cleared by an independent neurologist. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Not practicing Wednesday
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 10:15 AM
Tillman (concussion, rib) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tillman was on the field for 64 percent of the Browns' snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans, a game in which the wideout caught one of three targets for 23 yards. He's now contending with a pair of injury concerns ahead of this weekend's contest against the Bears, with two more chances to practice on tap before Cleveland's Week 15 game statuses are posted Friday. |

Dylan Sampson Dylan Sampson Dealing with pair of injuries
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 10:07 AM
Sampson (calf/hand) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sampson impressed as a receiver during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14, securing five of six targets for 64 yards, but he appears to have picked up two injuries in the contest. The rookie fourth-round pick also rushed twice for four yards and lost one fumble. He'll have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Bears. |
|
David Njoku David Njoku Not practicing Wednesday
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 9:53 AM
Njoku (knee) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Njoku suffered a knee injury during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14 on the play that saw him secure his only target for a one-yard touchdown catch. Now, his status appears up in the air for Sunday's game against the Bears. Rookie Harold Fannin will benefit from increased opportunities as the Browns' starting tight end if Njoku misses any time. |

Trayveon Williams Trayveon Williams Signed to Cleveland's active roster
Tue, Dec 9, 2025, 6:16 PM
The Browns signed Williams off the Chargers' practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Williams joined the Chargers' practice squad in late October after being cut by the Browns in early September. He appeared in three regular-season games for the Bolts, but he'll get a new opportunity in Cleveland, where he'll provide backfield depth behind Raheim Sanders and rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Sent to IR
Tue, Dec 9, 2025, 3:15 PM
The Browns placed Ford on injured reserve Tuesday due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Ford sustained the injury during the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans this past Sunday, when he played 19 total snaps (13 offense, six special teams). With just four games left on the Browns' schedule, Ford's 2025 campaign -- and perhaps his tenure in Cleveland -- will come to an end. The fourth-year running back was highly inefficient during the final season of his rookie deal, averaging 3.0 yards on 24 carries and 4.0 yards on 26 receptions while failing to find the end zone in 13 games. Ford's absence over the next four weeks could clear the way for Raheim Sanders to step in as the No. 3 running back behind fellow rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. |
