Scores in presseason loss
Winston caught three of four targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Winston started the game and scored on a 23-yard go route from Sam Howell in the first quarter. The 27-year-old now has 77 yards through two preseason games, the most of any Seahawks receiver. Winston is making a good case to earn one of the final roster spots, and his usage as a punt returner works in his favor, too.

Winston signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

He'll now have an opportunity to make a bigger impact with the franchise next year.

Cut by Seattle
The Seahawks are slated to waive Winston (groin) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Winston dealt with a groin injury earlier in the preseason, but it appears he's now healthy. If he clears waivers, Winston could be a candidate to end up back with Seattle as a member of the practice squad. He suited up for three games with the Saints in 2021 and performed adequately as a punt returner in those contests.

Joining Seahawks' practice squad
Seattle signed Winston to its practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Winston was cut by Cleveland just prior to the start of the regular season, but he's now found another opportunity with the Seahawks. As long as there's no major shake-up to Seattle's active roster, though, the 25-year-old receiver's odds of earning playing time and targets remain long.

Waived by Browns
The Browns are cutting Winston, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Winston was signed a couple of weeks ago and appeared in the Browns' final preseason game as a receiver (two snaps) and as a returner on special teams (four snaps). He logged three punt returns for 21 yards. The Browns haven't quite settled their punt and kickoff return roles after Jakeem Grant was lost to an Achilles injury. Demetric Felton and Jerome Ford are the leaders to take on either or both roles.

Joins Cleveland
Cleveland claimed Winston from waivers from the Saints on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old has appeared in just three games in his NFL career and joins a crowded Cleveland receiver room featuring Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones at the top of the depth chart. Winston has some experience as a punt returner, so that role may present his clearest path of making the Week 1 roster while the Browns seek a replacement for Jakeem Grant (Achilles), who is out for the season.
