Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Trending toward Week 12 start
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:47 PM
Sanders is expected to start Sunday's game against the Raiders with Dillon Gabriel working his way through the concussion protocol, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski stated Monday that the team wouldn't provide an update the quarterback situation until Wednesday, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, but it appears Sanders is likely to draw the first start of his career unless Gabriel's recovery proceeds quicker than anticipated. During Cleveland's loss to Cincinnati in Week 11, Sanders entered in relief of an injured Gabriel to begin the second half but struggled to string anything together on offense, completing just four of 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and an interception. The rookie fifth-rounder also rushed three times for 16 yards. When the Browns return to practice Wednesday, expect Sanders to handle first-team reps as he works to ready himself for a more convincing performance on the road against Las Vegas. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Update coming Wednesday
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 12:27 PM
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Gabriel remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and that he will provide an update about the team's plans at quarterback Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gabriel suffered a concussion during Cleveland's loss to the Steelers on Sunday, paving the way for Shedeur Sanders to take over in relief to begin the third quarter. Neither rookie was particularly effective, with Gabriel completing seven of 10 pass attempts for 68 yards without a touchdown or INT, and Sanders completing four of 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and an interception. If Gabriel isn't able to make some sort of tangible step in his recovery by the time the Browns return to practice Wednesday, the team may prepare as though Sanders will line up under center versus the Raiders in Week 12. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Secures two catches in loss
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 6:47 AM
Corley caught both of his targets for nine yards and returned three kickoffs for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.
Analysis: Corley, who opened the year on the Browns' practice squad, has done a little bit of everything since being added to the active roster in Week 5. His major contributions have come on special teams, where the 2024 third-round pick has emerged as the team's top kick returner. In addition, the former Jet has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and carried the rock four times for 74 yards. Of note, Corley maintained his spot on the active roster ahead of Jamari Thrash, a 2024 fifth-round draft pick of the Browns, who was a healthy inactive Sunday to clear a spot for Isaiah Bond. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Returns to action
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 6:31 AM
Bond had one carry for eight yards and did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 11.
Analysis: Bond returned to action after missing one game due to a foot injury, prompting the Browns to make Jamari Thrash inactive. Bond played 23 snaps, third most among the team's wideouts behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. Unfortunately Cleveland's offense, particularly its passing attack, is such a mess that there's little value in the team's third wideout. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Logs one touch in loss
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:57 AM
Ford had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 11.
Analysis: In the two games following Cleveland's bye week, Ford has just one target and two carries while playing 31 snaps. It was mildly surprising that the Browns didn't trade him, given that Ford's in the final year of his contract. He currently shares the backup role with rookie Dylan Sampson. |

Dylan Sampson Dylan Sampson Little work in loss
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 5:49 AM
Sampson had one carry for 19 yards, failed to catch his lone target and returned two kickoffs for 48 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.
Analysis: Sampson had fewer snaps (six) than fellow backup Jerome Ford (13 snaps, one touch), but overall the recent trend has been that Sampson is Cleveland's No. 2 back for fantasy purposes. Regardless, both Ford and Sampson sit well behind Quinshon Judkins in the backfield pecking order. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Held in check Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:36 PM
Judkins rushed 17 times for 59 yards while failing to secure either of his targets in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Judkins was stymied on the ground Sunday, falling short of the four yards per-carry benchmark used to gauge a runner's effectiveness. It was the second time that the talented rookie was held in check by the Ravens' defense, resulting in a 60.0 rushing yard average with no touchdowns against the Browns' division rival this regular season. After a pair of inefficient outings coming out of Cleveland's Week 9 bye, Judkins' managers will look for respite against the Raiders next Sunday, who are giving up over 100 rushing yards per game to opponents in 2025. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Struggles in relief Sunday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 8:05 PM
Sanders completed four of 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and an interception while rushing three times for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Sanders started the second half for the Browns after Dillon Gabriel was forced to exit the contest to be evaluated for a concussion. The long-awaited debut for Sanders in a regular season game went about as poorly as you could draw it up. The polarizing rookie completed just 25 percent of his passes while watching the six-point lead he inherited evaporate in the loss. Sanders' play didn't inspire hope for his next outing, which could come as soon as next Sunday if Gabriel isn't cleared for action against the Raiders. The latter should continue to start -- especially with how poorly Sanders performed in relief -- so long as Gabriel clears the league's concussion protocol. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Leads team in receiving in defeat
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:19 PM
Tillman caught three of four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Tillman was able to pace the team in receiving yards while finishing tied for the lead in catches with fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy. The 25-year-old was limited by a glute injury at practice throughout the week, but he didn't look any worse for wear in Week 11. Tillman will look to build off Sunday's performance when the Browns square off with the Raiders in Week 12. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Not returning to Sunday's contest
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 5:25 PM
Gabriel (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: With Gabriel out for the remainder of Sunday's contest, Shedeur Sanders will handle the Browns' QB duties versus the Ravens. Gabriel will thus look to gain medical clearance ahead of next weekend's contest against the Raiders. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Exits Sunday's game
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 5:12 PM
Gabriel is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: With Gabriel out of the contest, Shedeur Sanders is in at QB for the Browns. Prior to his exit, Gabriel completed seven of his 10 pass attempts for 68 yards and carried twice for two yards. |

Jamari Thrash Jamari Thrash Healthy scratch Week 11
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 2:13 PM
Thrash (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's battle against Baltimore.
Analysis: Thrash had played in Cleveland's first nine games this season prior to Sunday. He's managed just 10 catches on 15 targets for 107 yards on the season, and he may now be the odd man out in the Browns' receiving corps. Cleveland has been getting healthy at the position with Cedric Tillman and Isaiah Bond recently returning from injuries. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Cleared for Sunday's game
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 3:16 PM
Bond (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing fully Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Bond -- who was inactive in Week 10 -- was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but a full session Friday paves the way for the wideout to be available to face Baltimore in Week 11. That said, with Cedric Tillman back in the starting WR mix alongside Jerry Jeudy, and TEs David Njoku and Harold Fannin both commanding their share of targets on a weekly basis, Bond doesn't have a clear path to steady volume in Cleveland's offense. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Cleared to face Ravens
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 2:51 PM
Tillman (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Tillman upgraded to full participation Friday after a pair of limited practice showings to avoid a Week 11 injury designation. Heading into his second game back from a stint on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Tillman projects to operate as Cleveland's No. 2 wide receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Gets green light to face Ravens
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 2:49 PM
Fannin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Fannin continues to play through a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant in Cleveland's first two practices during Week 11 preparations before practicing in full Friday. Both Fannin and David Njoku will likely remain involved in Cleveland's passing game. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Another limited practice
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 3:52 PM
Bond (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Bond has now logged back-to-back limited practices to begin Week 11 prep, leaving him with one more chance to upgrade his activity level before the Browns decide whether to tag him with an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens. If cleared to suit up Sunday, Bond will compete with Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman (glute) for targets, as the No. 3 receiver in Cleveland. |
|
Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Stays limited Thursday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 3:47 PM
Tillman (glute) remained limited in practice Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: It's unclear if this glute injury is connected to the hamstring injury that landed Tillman on injured reserve prior to his return in Cleveland's Week 10 loss to the Jets. Tillman may just be getting eased back into practice following his return to action, but he would probably need to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens. |
|
Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Limited again Thursday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 3:40 PM
Fannin (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Fannin played through his hamstring injury during Cleveland's loss to the Jets in Week 10, in which he caught four of seven targets for 44 yards. Now, coming off back-to-back limited practices, he'll likely need to upgrade to full activity levels at Friday's session in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 11. That said, as long as Fannin can close out the practice week with at least another limited session, it appears he'll have solid odds of being available for Sunday's contest against the Ravens. |

Jerry Jeudy Jerry Jeudy Looking to build momentum
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 8:11 AM
Jeudy looks to build off the momentum created in Week 10's loss to the Jets, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Jeudy had a season-best outing last week, catching six of 12 targets for 78 yards and his first touchdown. The wideout believes his 10 first-half targets got him involved early and credits part of his success to the play calling of offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was given that job after head coach Kevin Stefanski relinquished calling plays coming out of the bye week. Cleveland's quarterback situation has not been ideal and is cited as a major factor in what has been a disappointing season for Jeudy, but the wideout needs to shoulder some of the blame. He leads the NFL with eight drops and has dropped 22.2 percent of the on-target passes thrown his way. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Logs limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 4:05 PM
Fannin (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fannin approached Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets listed as questionable, but suited up for the contest, en route to recording a 66 percent snap share and catching four of his seven targets for 44 yards. With no reported setbacks, chances are Fannin's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. Either way, the tight end has two more chances to practice fully before Week 11 injury designations are posted by the Browns. |
