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. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Will start rest of season
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 12:17 PM
Sanders will start at quarterback for the remainder of the season, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Sanders broke out in a big way in Week 14, throwing for 364 yards, running for 29 more and totaling four touchdowns, and he showed enough to remain under center for the Browns the rest of the way. Before most fantasy football seasons end in Week 17, Sanders will have a couple favorable matchups sandwiched around a tough one, as the Bears, Bills and Steelers line up next on Cleveland's schedule. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Shut out in loss
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 9:57 PM
Bond failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans in Week 14.
Analysis: Bond's two targets came on deep throws, as he had quarterback Shedeur Sanders have flashed some long-ball chemistry the last three games. Unfortunately for the rookie, Bond was shut out for the fourth time in the last six games. Cleveland's passing offense was the best its been since the Joe Flacco days (Weeks 1 and 2), which offers hope that Bond could evolve into a viable threat over the final few weeks of the season. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Snags one catch in loss
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 9:32 PM
Tillman caught one of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans in Week 14.
Analysis: Tillman entered Week 14 with just one catch for five yards in the previous two games. With the Browns' passing offense showing some life Sunday under quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who completed 23-of-42 passes for 364 yards, there's hope that secondary receivers like Tillman could be useful over the in final four games. |

Dylan Sampson Dylan Sampson Stands out as receiver in loss
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 9:18 PM
Sampson rushed twice for four yards and secured five of six targets for 64 yards in the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Sampson played through a hamstring concern and delivered a standout effort as a receiver, finishing as Shedeur Sanders' second-most-targeted pass catcher while posting the team's second-highest reception total. Sampson matched a career high in receiving yards in the process, and he's now contributed at least five receptions on three occasions during his rookie campaign. Sampson should continue in his change-of-pace role alongside Quinshon Judkins in a Week 15 road clash with the 49ers. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Fills in as kick returner
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 9:11 PM
Ford caught two of three targets for 10 yards and returned five kickoffs for 113 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14.
Analysis: Ford was needed to fill in on kickoff returns after the team's primary returner, Malachi Corley (concussion), was removed from the contest and never returned. Ford, who has fallen behind Dylan Sampson in the running back rotation, has seen an uptick in activity the last two games, garnering six targets, five catches and 27 receiving yards in addition to his work on special teams. He leads the backfield in targets (29) and catches (24), |

Jerry Jeudy Jerry Jeudy Breaks free for long TD
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 9:09 PM
Jeudy brought in three of five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran wideout put together one of his few productive performances of the season to date, posting his second-highest receiving yardage total of the season with the help of a season-long 60 yard reception that went for a touchdown with under three minutes remaining late in the first half. Jeudy appears to be developing some encouraging chemistry with Shedeur Sanders, now having posted a 7-141-1 line on 12 targets over the latter's first three starts. |

David Njoku David Njoku Never returned to Week 14 loss
Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 8:59 PM
Njoku was ruled out after leaving Sunday's loss to the Titans with a knee injury, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. He caught his lone target for one yard and a touchdown.
Analysis: Njoku hurt the knee while making a diving catch for a touchdown on the second play of the second quarter. After heading directly to the locker room following the incident, Njoku returned to the field but only to enter the medical tent. He's battled a sore knee the last three weeks, and it looks like that streak will extend at least one more week. Harold Fannin, who also caught a touchdown Sunday, will be the main beneficiary if Njoku is forced to miss any games. |
