Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Expected to play Sunday
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 8:11 PM
Tillman (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tillman was activated from injured reserve earlier Saturday and is expected to make his return to the lineup after being injured in Week 4. With Tillman back in action and Isaiah Bond (foot) ruled out, Tillman should step right back into an every-down role alongside Jerry Jeudy. Tillman, however, has yet to play a game with Dillon Gabriel under center, making him a risky fantasy bet in what is already one of the league's least-potent passing attacks. The good news for Tillman is the Jets' trade of No. 1 CB Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis earlier in the week. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Expected to play Week 10
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 8:08 PM
Fannin (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Fannin was added to the injury report Thursday, logging a DNP, but the rookie tight end was able to get in a limited session Friday prior to being listed as questionable. Facing a Jets defense that traded its two best players this week while also benching LB Quincy Williams, Fannin looks like a solid, if unspectacular, borderline TE1 play for fantasy purposes. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Activated from injured reserve
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 12:31 PM
The Browns activated Tillman (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Tillman was a full participant in practice during Week 10 prep, and while he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, the expectation is that the third-year wide receiver will play, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site. With Isaiah Bond (foot) ruled out, Tillman could see heavy usage in his return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 4 against the Lions. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Questionable but expected to play
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 1:07 PM
Tillman (hamstring) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, but he's expected to be activated from injured reserve and suit up, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Tillman has been practicing without limitations, but an official move adding him to the active roster will need to be performed in order for the wide receiver to make his return to game action Sunday. Isaiah Bond (foot) has been ruled out, so Cleveland's wide receiver depth chart consists of Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash, Gage Larvadain and Malachi Corley, pending Tillman's return. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 12:54 PM
Fannin (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: After being added to the Browns' Week 10 injury report following a 'DNP' on Thursday, Fannin returned to a limited practice Friday. However, given that he heads into the weekend with a 'questionable' designation, the tight end's status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Fannin ends up limited or out against the Jets, fellow TE David Njoku would be in line for added snaps, with Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates available to work in complementary roles. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Won't play this week
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 12:48 PM
Bond (foot) won't play Sunday against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Bond sidelined and thus targeting a return to action Sunday, Nov. 16 against the Ravens, fellow WRs Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash and Gage Larvadain are candidates to see added snaps Sunday. Additionally, Cedric Tillman (hamstring, questionable) is expected to be activated off IR ahead of Week 10 action, and if that occurs, he could immediately step into a key role in Cleveland's passing offense. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Expected to come off IR
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 12:18 PM
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he expects Tillman (hamstring) to be activated off injured reserve and suit up Sunday against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Cleveland still has to officially activate Tillman, but all signs point to the wide receiver returning for his first action since Week 4. Tillman's likely to jump right back into a starting role against a Jets defense that traded away top cornerback Sauce Gardner on Tuesday. Fellow Browns wideout Isaiah Bond (foot) is expected to sit out. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Back at practice Friday
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 11:19 AM
Fannin (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fannin was added to the Browns' Week 10 injury report after not practicing Thursday, but his return to the field a day later is an encouraging sign with regard to his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the tight end heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared to face New York. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Appears to be absent again
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 11:17 AM
Bond (foot) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bond hasn't practiced in any capacity all week, so he will presumably be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets when the Browns post their injury report later Friday. The rookie wide receiver has 11 catches for 123 yards on 30 targets in eight contests this season. |

David Njoku David Njoku Fellow TE on injury report
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 6:27 AM
Njoku could benefit from an injury to tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring), who was added to Cleveland's injury report Thursday.
Analysis: Following a healthy session Wednesday, Fannin sat out Thursday's practice, which is something to monitor in the days leading up to Sunday's game against the Jets. Njoku and Fannin have been the leading targets for rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, whose 4.9 yards per attempt is among the lowest in the league. In three games with Gabriel under center, Njoku has averaged seven targets, recorded six of his seven red-zone targets this season and scored two touchdowns. While the Browns might tilt toward their running game against New York's suspect rush defense, which became weaker following the trade deadline, the theme coming out of practice this week has been about using the ground game to enhance the passing attack. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was named the team's new play caller Monday, was the tight ends coach in 2024, which could factor into his approach. The Athletic's Zac Jackson also speculates that by not trading Njoku, who is in the final year of his contract, the Browns are hinting that he could be heavily involved in the offense the rest of the way and may be brought back in 2026. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Added to injury report Thursday
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 3:25 PM
Fannin (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fannin wasn't on the Browns' initial Week 10 injury report, so the tight end's 'DNP' on Thursday is notable. Through eight games, Fannin leads the Browns in catches (38) and receiving yards (352), and if he's limited or out Sunday against the Jets, fellow TE David Njoku would be in line for added work, with Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates available to mix in. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Practicing in full
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 3:15 PM
Sanders (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sanders remained limited in practice Wednesday, but he appears to have now returned to full health ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. As such, Sanders looks on track to operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Dillon Gabriel in Week 10, while Bailey Zappe remains on hand for the No. 3 role. Sanders had been inactive for Cleveland's loss to the Patriots in Week 8 due to back tightness. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Sits out another practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 12:56 PM
Bond (foot) isn't practicing Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Bond has missed both of Cleveland's first two practices this week, suggesting a Week 9 bye hasn't provided him enough time to recover from the foot injury he sustained in a Week 8 loss to the Patriots. The rookie wide receiver seems to be trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Jets, though a return to practice Friday would change that narrative. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Will hear new voice calling plays
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 6:52 AM
Gabriel will be hearing the voice of first-year offensive coordinator Tommy Rees calling plays this week against the Jets, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski gave up play-calling duties for a second straight season, citing a need to create explosive plays and fix trouble areas. And there are many areas that need fixing. Beyond a rotating cast of starters on the offensive line, Gabriel has been limited to mostly short passes by an unexciting and unproductive group of wide receivers. The rookie quarterback told Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal that he hasn't noticed much change in the day-to-day operations since Stefanski announced the switch Monday. A new play caller should not result in a radically different plan Week 10, when the Browns face the league's 26th-ranked rush defense (135.8 ypg). Look for Rees to establish the run with Quinshon Judkins and keep Gabriel out of difficult third-down situations. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Facing 26th-ranked rush defense
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 6:27 AM
Judkins is expected to be a big part of the offense in Week 10 against the Jets, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Judkins shook off a shoulder injury suffered in the Week 8 loss to New England and was a full-go during Wednesday's practice session. The Browns will look to take advantage of New York's defense, which lost two of its best players at the trade deadline and has allowed 135.8 rushing yards per game (26th in NFL). Leaning on the ground game, as Cleveland did during its Week 7 win over Miami, should be a part of the game plan under first-year offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was anointed by Kevin Stefanski to replace the head coach as the play caller this week. Judkins has been the lone highlight on a disjointed offense and should play a big role going forward as it looks to keep rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel out of difficult third-down spots. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Good to go after bye
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 3:55 PM
Judkins (shoulder) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game at the Jets.
Analysis: The Week 9 bye apparently gave him plenty of time to recover after an early departure from the Week 8 loss at New England. Judkins returns to an excellent matchup, facing a Jets defense that just lost its two best players in trades. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Full practice participant
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 3:41 PM
Tillman (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said last Monday that Tillman was expected back after the Week 9 bye. A full practice confirms the wideout is on track to make that happen, likely stepping back in as a starter for an offense that's gotten just 632 cumulative receiving yards from its wide receivers this season. Poor QB play and an emphasis on the RBs/TEs are part of that, but it's also fair to say that neither Tillman nor Jerry Jeudy has shown the form that contributed to their respective hot streaks last season. Jeudy figures to continue starting anyway, with Tillman more likely to take snaps that have been going to Isaiah Bond (DNP - foot) and Jamari Thrash. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Limited Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 11:08 AM
Sanders (back) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Sanders has been dealing with back tightness over the past two weeks, so Wednesday's limited session comes as no surprise. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that the Browns will monitor the Colorado product over the next couple of days to determine whether he can operate as the team's No. 2 quarterback in the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If Sanders is inactive, Bailey Zappe is likely to back up Dillon Gabriel. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Misses practice with foot injury
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 10:04 AM
Bond (foot) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bond sustained a foot injury during Cleveland's loss to the Patriots in Week 8 and is still not back to full health after the Browns' bye week. He'll have two more chances to officially get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. When asked about Bond's status for Week 10, head coach Kevin Stefanski said "we'll see how it goes the next couple days," per Oyefusi. Cedric Tillman (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, and when he returns to the field Bond will figure to drop down to No. 3 on the wide receiver depth chart. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Still dealing with back injury
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 12:55 PM
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Sanders is still dealing with a back injury but is getting better, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: The rookie quarterback was inactive for the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots due to a back issue, and it now appears he's still dealing with the injury coming out of the Week 9 bye. Sanders' practice participation throughout the week will likely offer the best indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If active, the Colorado product is expected to serve as the primary backup to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. |
