Jamari Thrash Jamari Thrash Inactive despite injury clearance
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 10:56 AM
Thrash (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 battle against San Francisco.
Analysis: Thrash's inactive status last week was attributed to a foot injury, and he continued to deal with the issue in practice this week. However, he wasn't given an injury designation for Sunday's matchup, suggesting that he's past the issue. However, Thrash isn't going to suit up against the 49ers, marking the second time he's been a healthy scratch over the past three weeks. It appears the second-year wideout is the odd man out in the Browns WR pecking order despite logging at least a 40 percent offensive snap share in every game from Week 4 to Week 8. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Active Sunday
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 10:48 AM
Ford (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The running back entered the day with a questionable tag after missing practice Thursday, but he appears to be good to go. His snap count will be a bigger question, as Dylan Sampson saw 19 offensive snaps to Ford's eight in Week 12 against Las Vegas. Both remain behind rookie starter Quinshon Judkins on the depth chart. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Could start rest of season
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 1:25 PM
The Browns are open to keeping Sanders as the starting quarterback for the rest of the 2025 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Sanders made his first NFL start in Week 12 against the Raiders, when he completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He drew the start for that game after Dillon Gabriel was placed in the league's concussion protocol following Cleveland's Week 11 loss to Baltimore. Sanders will start Sunday against the 49ers despite Gabriel clearing the league's concussion protocol, and it appears the former is in line to start for the Browns for the rest of the year. |

Jamari Thrash Jamari Thrash Cleared to play Week 13
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 5:27 PM
Thrash (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thrash missed Week 12 against Las Vegas but has been cleared to return to the lineup. Thrash has recorded just 10 catches for 107 yards on 15 targets across nine games this season. |

David Njoku David Njoku Cleared to play Week 13
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 4:29 PM
Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Njoku logged a full practice Friday after limited reps earlier in the week. The 29-year-old tight end has an underwhelming 30-288-3 receiving line across 10 games this season. Njoku's 28.8 yards per game this season is his lowest mark since the 2020 campaign. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Questionable for Week 13
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 12:33 PM
Ford (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Ford has missed significant practice reps this week, putting his status in jeopardy for Week 13. If Ford is unable to play, rookie Dylan Sampson would likely be locked into pass-down work behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins on early downs. Sampson appeared to pass Ford on the depth chart in Week 12 against Las Vegas, turning nine touches into 82 yards and one touchdown on 19 offensive snaps. |

David Njoku David Njoku Remains limited
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 7:55 AM
Njoku (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Njoku opens the week of preparation for Sunday's tilt against San Francisco with two limited practices. It's the second consecutive week that the knee has limited the tight end, who was given a season-low 25 snaps in Week 12's win over the Raiders. It's unclear if last week's knee issue led to curtailed playing time, or if the Browns are developing Harold Fannin to become the club's lead TE. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Downgrades to DNP
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:17 PM
Ford (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ford was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but an apparent setback with his hamstring injury rendered him unable to participate Thursday. The setback likely means Ford will be unable to suit up for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Any small chance Ford has to play will need to be backed up with strong practice participation Friday. |

Jamari Thrash Jamari Thrash Limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 8:03 PM
Thrash (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thrash has been sidelined for two straight contests while nursing a foot injury, so his ability to practice in capacity to open the week is a positive sign. The wide receiver will look to build off of Wednesday's session and log a full practice prior to Sunday's game versus the 49ers. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Limited to open week
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 7:52 PM
Ford (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Ford popped up on the injury report to open the week, dealing with an apparent hamstring injury. The running back played a season-low eight offensive snaps in the team's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12, losing three yards on his only carry of the game. Ford will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the 49ers. |
|
David Njoku David Njoku Limited at practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 6:15 PM
Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Njoku continues to manage a knee issue, but as long as he's able to practice fully by Friday he'll be on track to approach Sunday's game against the 49ers without an injury designation. With just one catch (on two targets) over his last two games, a span in which fellow TE Harold Fannin has combined for six catches on 11 targets, Njoku profiles as a hit-or-miss Week 13 fantasy lineup option. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Another one-touch game
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 7:03 AM
Ford had one carry for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12.
Analysis: Ford's marginalization continued, as the fourth-year back logged one touch for a fifth straight game and played a season-low eight snaps. Once a viable option as a third-down back, he's gone untargeted in two straight and was thrown to just five times in the last five contests. The Browns are rolling with a backfield of Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson and will keep doing so unless one gets injured. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Will serve as No. 2 in Week 13
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 6:48 PM
Gabriel will serve as the top backup to Shedeur Sanders in next Sunday's game against San Francisco, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Sanders replaced an injured Gabriel on Sunday and guided the Browns to a 24-10 win over Las Vegas. Gabriel, who cleared the concussion protocol Monday, will operate as the backup. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he's "not looking past this week," suggesting the two rookie QBs could flip spots on the depth chart at any point. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Officially named Week 13 starter
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 12:46 PM
Coach Kevin Stefanski named Sanders as the Browns' starting quarterback for next Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Even though Dillon Gabriel cleared concussion protocol Monday, Sanders will get the nod against San Francisco after he helped guide the Browns to a 24-10 win over the Raiders on Sunday. Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes (55 percent) for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Las Vegas, showing some deep-ball touch on a 52-yard shot to Isaiah Bond down to the two-yard line in the process. Sanders' matchup against the Niners will be favorable on paper, as San Francisco is dealing with a boat load of injuries on the defensive side of the ball, but it's fair to question if Sanders has enough of a floor-ceiling combo to warrant consideration for fantasy lineups. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Clears concussion protocol
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 12:40 PM
Gabriel cleared the concussion protocol Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: However, Gabriel is expected to lose his starting job to Shedeur Sanders, who is likely to be named the Browns' QB1 for next Sunday's Week 13 game versus San Francisco, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Gabriel showed very little in his time under center, refusing to challenge defenses deep or away from the line of scrimmage, resulting in 5.1 yards per pass attempt. Across eight games this season, including six starts, Gabriel has completed just 59.2 percent of his 184 pass attempts for 937 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions. He's averaged just 117.1 passing yards per game. The Browns now will take a longer look at Sanders to see if either one of the rookies is a viable long-term solution headed into 2026. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Likely to be named Week 13 starter
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 12:37 PM
Sanders will be named the Browns' starting quarterback for Week 13 against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Even with Dillon Gabriel clearing the concussion protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, coach Kevin Stefanski is expected to name Sanders as the Browns' starter versus San Francisco. Sanders made his first career start in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders, completing just 11 of 20 passes (55 percent) for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His 52-yard deep shot to Isaiah Bond was easily Sanders' most impressive throw of the day, as Dylan Sampson did all the work after the catch on a 66-yard touchdown that came on a dump-off at the line of scrimmage. Sanders will have a chance to build on his performance against a depleted and injury-riddled 49ers defense next Sunday. Sanders carries extremely minimal fantasy value. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Coach won't yet name QB for Week 13
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 11:44 AM
Following Sunday's win over the Raiders, coach Kevin Stefanski was noncommittal on a starting quarterback for next Sunday's Week 13 game against the 49ers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Dillon Gabriel sidelined against Las Vegas due to a concussion suffered the previous week, Shedeur Sanders got the starting nod under center and was okay, completing just 11 of 20 passes (55 percent) for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the 24-10 victory. His highlight throw was a 52-yard deep shot to Isaiah Bond down to the two-yard line. Sanders' touchdown was a dump-off to Dylan Sampson, which Sampson then took 66 yards to the end zone. Sanders' completion percentage left a lot to be desired, but there's no denying helping steer the ship to a win was meaningful for the rookie. However, Stefanski has said previously that Gabriel will remain the starter when healthy. Expect Stefanski to divulge more information on the topic later in the week. |

David Njoku David Njoku Season-low snap count
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 6:02 AM
Njoku went untargeted over 25 snaps in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.
Analysis: For the second straight game, Njoku was on the field for fewer snaps than rookie tight end Harold Fannin (46), but this time the disparity was far more pronounced than it was last week. The only other game in which the veteran tight end was outplayed by Fannin to this degree was when Njoku suffered an injury in a Week 6 loss to Pittsburgh. Since the club's Week 9 bye, Njoku has just three receptions on four targets for 28 yards over three games, but he still leads the club with three TD catches for the season. Cleveland's anemic passing offense, which was slightly improved under Shedeur Sanders on Sunday, still relies on a lot of short throws, which benefits both TEs. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Minor role in win
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:43 AM
Corley caught his lone target for eight yards, had one carry for minus-6 yards and returned two kickoffs for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.
Analysis: Corley served in a variety roles in the win, continues the usage he's seen three times in the last four games. He accumulated 13 snaps on offense, and his 25 percent share Sunday was on par with the previous three weeks. Corley has gained more yards as a runner (68 on five carries) than as a receiver (34 on five receptions), but in the aggregate he offers little fantasy value. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Produces five yards in victory
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:24 PM
Tillman secured one of three targets for five yards in Cleveland's win over Las Vegas on Sunday.
Analysis: Tillman's three targets tied him with Jerry Jeudy and Dylan Sampson for second on the team behind Harold Fannin (six), but Tillman and Shedeur Sanders showed zero on-field chemistry. After totaling seven catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns from Joe Flacco in the first two games of the season, Tillman has just 10 grabs for 100 scoreless yards in five appearances since, making Tillman someone to avoid in fantasy lineups ahead of a Week 13 date with San Francisco. |
