News

  • Moved to IR

    The Browns placed Grant (knee) on injured reserve by the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: Grant suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. He was set to serve as the Browns' top kick returner in 2023, but now that he's out for the season, Cleveland will have to look elsewhere to fill those duties.

  • Done for season

    Grant suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs and is out for the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Grant was expected to be Cleveland's return man this season, but instead, the veteran wideout will need to spend the 2023 campaign recovering. The Browns will now likely turn to Donovan Peoples-Jones and Jerome Ford to handle those duties.

  • Suffers significant injury

    Grant sustained a potential broken patella in his knee during Saturday's 33-32 preseason loss to the Chiefs, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Grant is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine whether his patella is possibly broken or torn, as a torn patella could sideline him for the entire 2023 campaign. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski also expressed Saturday that he feels horrible for Grant, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, likely indicating that this injury will sideline him for an extended period of time either way. The 5-foot-7 slot receiver hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game during his…read more

  • Suffers leg injury

    Grant exited Saturday's preseason finale after suffering an apparent leg injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The Browns' team doctors had to put an air cast on Grant following the injury, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network, which indicates this is a serious issue. Aside from an 11-game stint with the Bears in 2021, the veteran returner has spent most of his six-year career in Miami. He's been working on a fresh start in Cleveland and had been expected to return both kicks and punts for the team before suffering this injury. It remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined.

  • Will return kicks Saturday

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Grant will return kickoffs and punts during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Grant has not yet appeared in any of the Browns' preseason games while he was brought along slowly from an Achilles' injury. Despite not appearing in game action, Grant has been a full practice participant and often taken the first (and sometimes only) reps as the returner. Stefanski said he doesn't need to see Grant on offense before making a roster decision, so it appears that Grant will secure a roster spot heading into the regular season, if he comes out of Saturday's game in good health.…read more

  • Participates in full-team drills

    Grant (Achilles) made his first appearance during full-team drills Monday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's a step forward for Grant, who had been limited to fielding kickoffs and punts and focused on individual drills. He's not guaranteed a roster spot, but if Grant makes enough progress before roster cuts, he'll put himself in position to make the team and win either or both of the return jobs. Fellow wideout Jaelon Darden is a return-game option as well, but he's missed the last five practices with a leg injury.

  • Still limited

    Grant did not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets and remains limited at practice as he tries to return from a torn Achilles tendon, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Grant has been first in line at kick-return drills but has yet to practice at full speed. The Browns signed him in 2022 to reform the return game, but Grant is not a lock for a roster spot until he can work at full health and compete in games. Hassan Hall handled the return duties Thursday, but the role is expected to be handled by Grant, Jerome Ford or Jaelon Darden (leg).

  • Top returner on depth chart

    Grant is listed as the top punt and kickoff returner on the unofficial depth chart for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Jets, the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old Grant is working his way back from a second ruptured Achilles. Another receiver with return experience, Jaelon Darden, is third on the depth chart at each return spot. The Browns may eventually use position regulars Jerome Ford and Donovan Peoples-Jones as return men, but the team will get a look at both Grant and Darden during preseason games. Additionally, with Marquise Goodwin (blood clots) on the active/non-football illness list, both depth wideouts will get work on offense.…read more

  • Active in practice

    Grant (Achilles) participated in Tuesday's practice and took his most reps to date, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Grant, who sustained a torn Achilles last year during training camp, participated in both kick and punt return drills. With Marquise Goodwin (illness) on the active/non-football illness list, Grant could receive additional opportunities on offense in camp and during preseason games. He and Jaelon Darden, who also participated in return drills Tuesday, are in the mix for what appears to be the same role, that of a fifth or sixth receiver that can also help in the return game.

  • Expects to be ready for camp

    Grant (Achilles) expects to be ready for the start of training camp, according to Noah Weiskopf of Browns Digest.

    Analysis: "Absolutely, 100 percent," Grant said when asked if he'll be ready for camp. The 30-year-old signed a three-year, $10 million deal with Cleveland last offseason but suffered a torn Achilles in training camp and missed all of 2022. At the end of March, Grant estimated he was at "85-90 percent" and suggested he could even get on the field for OTAs. Grant is unlikely to play a big role on offense behind Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore, and Donovan Peoples-Jones, but he should be the favorite for…read more

  • Placed on IR

    The Browns placed Grant (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Grant's season thus officially comes to an end after he was diagnosed with a torn left Achilles' tendon following his exit from Tuesday's practice. While the absence of Grant will be felt most in the return game, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com notes that the 29-year-old had been pushing to carve out a slot role during training camp. Demetric Felton should get the first opportunity to replace Grant as the Browns' top option on kickoff and punt returns. Expect Grant to undergo surgery at some point…read more

  • Out for year

    Grant will miss the 2022 season after tests confirmed he suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Tuesday's practice, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old depth receiver and return specialist reportedly was having a strong training camp before his season-ending injury. With Grant out, there's an opening for Demetric Felton or D'Ernest Johnson (among others) to return kicks and punts for Cleveland.

  • Torn Achilles feared

    Grant may have suffered a season-ending torn Achilles during Tuesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that the Browns are awaiting final word on Grant's injury, but it appears as though the 29-year-old is in for an extended absence. In that scenario, Cleveland's return game would take a major hit, while the depth of the team's wideout corps would also be impacted ahead of Week 1.

  • Departs practice with leg injury

    Grant (leg) was carted off during Tuesday's camp session, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Unfortunate news strikes Tuesday for Cleveland, as Grant was carted off the practice field and was unable to put any weight on his left leg. Recently, the seventh-year return specialist has taken more practice reps at receiver than he's used to, as many of the Browns' pass catchers have missed a portion of training camp attending to injuries. Expect to hear more regarding the severity of Grant's injury within the upcoming days, but from the way this sounds, Cleveland may be without the…read more

  • Gets steady reps

    Grant has benefited from injuries at wide receiver to get steady reps during drills, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Grant's primary role with Cleveland will be as a returner, but he and Michael Woods have showcased skills with the opportunity. Grant is one of the quicker players on the field and can be dangerous in the open field. None of the sidelined wideouts are dealing with significant injuries, so Grant's reps will eventually dry up.

  • Heading to Cleveland

    Grant (ankle) agreed to a three-year deal with the Browns on Tuesday that's worth up to $13.8 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Grant missed the final game of 2021 with an ankle issue, but it didn't affect his outlook in free agency. Chicago acquired the 29-year-old from Miami in October, and he finished the campaign with 11 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 493 yards on 21 kick returns and 250 yards and one touchdown on 18 punt returns. Grant is likely to see most of his action for Cleveland in the return game as well.

  • Placed on IR

    Grant (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: The wide receiver picked up an ankle injury in Week 17 and will now miss the Bears' season finale against the Vikings on Sunday after being placed on IR. Grant will finish the 2021 season with 11 receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came with the Bears after being traded from the Dolphins in October.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Grant didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Grant may have picked up the injury in the Bears' Week 17 win over the Giants on Sunday, when he was limited to only 11 snaps (six on offense, five on special teams). If he can't get back on the practice field before week's end, he'll likely sit out the Bears' season finale in Minnesota.

  • In clear for Week 17

    Grant (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Grant was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but it wasn't until the release of Friday's injury report that the Bears confirmed the wideout had cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The head injury prevented Grant from playing Week 16 in Seattle, but now that he's healthy again, he should have a small role in the Bears' offensive game plan as a gadget player and option for slot snaps. He'll also reclaim his usual duties as the Bears' top return man.

  • Starts week with full practice

    Grant (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Analysis: Grant's full participation in practice is certainly an encouraging sign after he missed last week's game due to a concussion he sustained Week 15 against Minnesota. The Bears haven't officially confirmed that Grant has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but he certainly seems to be trending toward being available Sunday against the Giants after beginning the week asa full practice participant.

  • Ruled out with concussion

    Grant (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Seattle.

    Analysis: Grant left Monday's game against the Vikings after suffering a concussion, and he has yet to gain clearance to return. His absence will be most felt on special teams, though he has seen increased snaps as a receiver of late due to the depletion of healthy Bears wideouts. Khalil Herbert should handle kick returns while Damiere Byrd figures to take over punt returns in Grant's absence.

  • Leaves with concussion

    Grant left Monday night's game against Minnesota after suffering a concussion.

    Analysis: Grant took a shot in the first half and was knocked out of the game after being diagnosed with a concussion. Prior to his departure, he returned two punts for a total of five yards while turning a pair of rushing attempts into another 17 yards. Grant's absence came back to bite the Bears later in the game, as Damiere Byrd muffed a punt at the start of the fourth quarter. Grant will have a short week to recover and will need to pass through the league's concussion protocol to play Sunday at…read more

  • Back at practice

    Grant was a full participant in Friday's practice after sitting out Thursday's walk-through session due to an illness.

    Analysis: Grant was one of eight Bears who wasn't on the field Thursday on account of an illness. All but one of those players returned to the field Friday as full participants, temporarily alleviating some concern about a team-wide COVID-19 breakout. With that in mind, Grant should be ready to go for Monday's game against the Vikings. He's coming off a big Week 14 game in which he returned a punt for a touchdown and turned in his lone reception for a 46-yard score in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers.

  • Shines on SNF

    Grant caught one of three targets for 46 yards and a touchdown while returning three punts for 131 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 45-30 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Grant provided the spark the Bears needed on the road to keep up with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' dominant offense. The unconventional fantasy line and low targets is a reminder that these sort of big games shouldn't be expected on a weekly basis from the veteran backup wideout. That being said, Grant has now produced 108 receiving yards and three total touchdowns over the last two weeks, so he could be worth snagging off waivers in the event he can keep the hot streak going against a porous…read more

  • Scores first touchdown with Bears

    Grant caught five passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Allen Robinson (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (foot) missing this contest, Grant picked up where he left off in Week 12 when he saw an increased role in the offense. Once the Bears fell behind by double digits, Grant saw most of his seven targets, and he led the team in receiving yardage. As long as Robinson and Goodwin remain out, Grant could serve as a depth option for fantasy managers.

  • Could have role in three-wide sets

    Grant may be in line to have a regular role in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Cardinals with Allen Robinson (hamstring) listed as doubtful for the contest and with Marquise Goodwin (foot/ribs) ruled out, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Wideout Darnell Mooney and tight end Cole Kmet are likely to be the top targets for quarterback Andy Dalton -- who is making a second straight start in place of the injured Justin Fields (doubtful, ribs) -- but the expected absences of Robinson and Goodwin leave Damiere Byrd and Grant as the next men up at receiver. The Bears are expected to promote at least one of Isaiah Coulter, Rodney Adams Nsimba Webster and Dazz Newsome from the practice squad for additional depth at receiver, but none of…read more

  • Targeted four times in win

    Grant caught two passes for 25 yards in the Bears' 16-14 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: In addition to two kickoff and four punt returns, Grant was fourth on the team with four targets, as the Bears were without Allen Robinson (hamstring) and also lost Marquise Goodwin (foot) in the first half. Grant's fantasy value is highest in leagues that award points for return yardage, though he also can chip in occasionally as a receiver. If the Bears continue to be saddled with wideout injuries, Grant's ability to gain yardage after the catch would give him limited fantasy value as a wide…read more

  • Receives two touches

    Grant rushed once for 11 yards and caught his only target for six yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Grant's greatest value to the Bears is as a returner, and any offensive touches he receives are a bonus. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, Grant's fantasy value will be minimal unless his sees an increase in usage.

  • Will play Sunday

    Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

    Analysis: Grant was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but he was able to log full practices Thursday and Friday. The 29-year-old wideout isn't expected to be a factor for Chicago's offense Sunday, as he has recorded just two catches on the season.

  • Questionable for Week 8

    Grant (ankle) is considered questionable for the Bears' Week 8 contest with the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Grant suffered his ankle injury against the Packers in Week 6 and has had a minimal role on the Bears' offense so far this season. The receiver has only recorded two catches all season and he has yet to play more than seven offensive snaps in a game. If Grant is unable to suit up, it's likely Breshad Perriman will fill his depth receiver role against the 49ers.

  • Ready for Week 7

    Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Grant was sidelined for the first two days of practice but managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up and serve primarily as a returner in the kicking game in Week 7.

  • Questionable with ankle injury

    Grant (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Grant failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday but logged a limited session Friday, which will at least give him a glimmer of hope to suit up. He has totaled minus-7 receiving yards this season, but Grant plays a significant special-teams role as both the kick returner and punt returner. If Grant sits out against the Buccaneers, Damiere Byrd will likely work as Chicago's return man.

  • Sidelined Wednesday

    Grant (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Grant picked up the injury during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Packers during a long kick return that was ultimately called back due to a penalty. He managed to return to the game, but the issue is apparently still bothering him to begin the practice week.

  • Able to return

    Grant (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Packers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Grant was shaken up after a long punt return that was nullified by penalty. He was spotted returning a kick later in the game, and he should continue to serve as a key special teams player for the Bears for the remainder of the game.

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Grant suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Packers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Grant was hobbled after a long punt return, though his effort was nullified by a penalty. It's unclear whether he will be able to retake the field. If Grant remains sidelined, Damiere Byrd would likely fill in for Grant on returns.

    Grant (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Grant was limited in practice Thursday, but the injury wasn't serious enough to keep him out of this game. He's not expected to hold a big role on offense, however, as he only has two receptions this year.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Grant (groin) was limited in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Grant didn't appear on the injury report Wednesday, implying that he picked up the issue during practice. The fact that he was still able to take the field in any capacity is positive, though his status for Sunday's game against the Packers remains ambiguous. In his first game with the Bears, Grant played only two offensive snaps. He could see an increased role in Week 6 if Allen Robinson (ankle) is unable to play.

  • Traded to Windy City

    Grant is being traded to the Bears on Tuesday in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Grant found himself on the outside of Miami's regular offensive rotation this season, in large part due to the arrival of new starters Will Fuller (finger) and Jaylen Waddle, but in Chicago he could see more work. The Bears are in need of more consistent contributions behind Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney, and Grant could offer Damiere Byrd and Marquise Goodwin real competition for the No. 3 role. The 28-year-old is also a quality option in the return game.

  • Barely plays offense Week 3

    Grant was not targeted during Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Grant dealt with an ankle injury leading into Week 3, which may explain in part why he only handled two offensive snaps versus Las Vegas. On the other hand, the debut of Will Fuller may have simply deprived Grant of any real opportunities to handle skill-position reps. The speedster did lock down his usual role as Miami's top return man, but as long as he's limited almost entirely to special teams, he will remain off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of formats.

    Grant (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.

    Analysis: Grant upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, shedding his injury label in the process. He should work in his usual capacity Sunday as the return man on special teams and get the occasional opportunity on offense.

    Analysis: Grant is looking iffy for Week 3 due to an ankle sprain, but it's at least encouraging to see that he's able to handle limited practice reps. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Dolphins will need all the help they can get at the skill positions.

  • Nursing ankle sprain

    Grant is managing an ankle sprain picked up during Sunday's 35-0 blowout loss to the Bills, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Grant avoided a serious injury, but he could still be forced to miss some time while recovering. Rookie first-round pick Jaylen Waddle could take over as Miami's primary return man as long as Grant is sidelined.

    Grant (anke) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bills.

    Analysis: Grant suffered the injury in the first half of the contest. If he is unable to return, rookie first-round pick Jaylen Waddle will likely take on return duties for the remainder of the contest.

  • No targets Week 1

    Grant played just seven offensive snaps and didn't record a target during Sunday's win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Grant appeared in 14 games last season for the Dolphins and recorded 36 receptions for 373 yards -- both career-highs. He suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 last year, but he appeared healthy coming into training camp. Grant's role in the 2021 offense remains unclear after the Dolphins added Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle to their receiving corps this offseason.

    Grant hauled in a deep ball from QB Tua Tagovailoa at June minicamp.

    Analysis: Grant appears to have returned healthy for Miami's offseason program after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 last year. He's missed multiple games in three straight seasons, and he'll now face a tougher path to earning snaps on offense, with the Dolphins adding Will Fuller (suspension) and No. 6 overall pick Jaylen Waddle to a receiving corps that also includes Grant, DeVante Parker, Preston Williams (foot), Albert Wilson and Lynn Bowden.

    Grant (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: After suffering a high-ankle sprain in last week's win over the Raiders, Grant never looked like a strong bet to suit up for the regular-season finale, but he at least made it a tough decision for the Dolphins to make him inactive by turning in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Ultimately, Grant didn't demonstrate enough progress to get the green light from the training staff, but the Dolphins will hope to have him back for a potential wild-card game next weekend, should Miami earns its…read more

    Analysis: Prior reports suggested that Grant's high-ankle sprain would prevent him from playing Sunday against the Bills, but his limited session Thursday suddenly brightens his odds of suiting up in the regular-season finale.

    Grant sustained a high-ankle sprain during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders and is expected to miss Week 17, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The timing of Grant's injury is inopportune for the Dolphins. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) coming off back-to-back absences and Preston Williams (foot) still on IR, the team could be without its top three wideouts heading into a Week 17 road game against the Bills. Rapoport called Grant a candidate for IR and said that he'll miss the regular-season finale, but the Dolphins themselves haven't yet officially ruled the 28-year-old out.

    Analysis: The Dolphins waited until the last second to make a decision on Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder). Both Grant and Gesicki are available to the offense, but Parker will miss a second consecutive contest. As a result, a few more targets may be freed up for Grant as Miami faces an exploitable Raiders defense.

    Analysis: Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are all practicing on a limited basis to begin Week 16 after all three sat out the Week 15 win over the Patriots. Since all of those pass catchers turned in multiple limited practices last week before being inactive, Grant -- like Parker and Gesicki -- will presumably need to put in a full practice Thursday to have a shot at playing Saturday in Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Grant's injury likely stems from the flagrant hit he took while attempting to return to a punt during last weekend's win over the Bengals. He'll have two more chances to increase his level of practice activity as he looks to gain clearance for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.

Teammates DeVante Parker and Mack Hollins reportedly aren't at risk of suspension after being ejected, so as long as Grant is able to shake his injury in time to suit up against the Chiefs in Week 14, Miami's receiving corps will have emerged none the worse for wear.

    Analysis: Although there was nothing particularly remarkable about his numbers, Grant still had a somewhat prominent role to play in the contest, albeit unintentionally. The speedster was interfered with by the Bengals' Mike Thomas on a would-be punt return in the fourth quarter, taking a premature and low hit that set off a large scuffle between both teams that resulted in the ejections of teammates DeVante Parker and Mack Hollins, as well as Cincinnati's Shawn Williams and William Jackson.

    Analysis: Miami's passing gameplan marginalized every player not not named DeVante Parker, who had a whopping 14 targets while no other wide receiver had more than three. Ryan Fitzpatrick is prone to locking in on his top option, which doesn't bode well for Grant's fantasy prospects even though he's working as Miami's No. 2 receiver with Preston Williams (knee) still on IR.

    Analysis: Grant also had one carry for three yards and was held to just six punt return yards after having accumulated at least 50 in three of the last four games. He once again operated as the No. 2 receiver in place of Preston Williams (foot) and drew his highest target total of the season, but Grant was unable to capitalize on those opportunities versus the Broncos' defense. A Week 12 road matchup against the Jets will provide him, and Miami's aerial attack as a whole, with an opportunity to get right.

It's worth noting that Williams was forced to exit in the first half due to a sprain, so Grant's looks may have been slightly inflated.

    Analysis: It was a banner day for Grant in the return game, with his 88-yard score in the second quarter giving the Dolphins a surprising two-touchdown lead. With just 14 receptions and 19 targets through seven games, Grant's fantasy value is significantly higher in formats that count return yards and touchdowns, although the elite speed that allows him to thrive on special teams always gives him theoretical upside as a wideout.

    Analysis: Grant led the Dolphins in terms of catches, and his 48 receiving yards were second only to tight end Adam Shaheen's 51. The speedster was also busy on special teams, returning one kickoff (23 yards) and six punts (83), to account for a team-high 154 all-purpose yards. Grant also hauled in one of Tua Tagovailoa's first two NFL completions, when he gained a first down late in the fourth quarter to seal the win for Miami.

    Analysis: The speedster was questionable due to a non-COVID-19 illness late in the week, but this confirms Grant has apparently been able to overcome his ailment.

    Analysis: Grant wasn't listed on the Dolphins' injury report to begin the week, but he missed practice Friday with an illness likely related to the bug that's been making its way around the Miami locker room of late. An absence from Grant versus the 49ers would leave Miami without its top depth option behind starting receivers DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford. Lynn Bowden and Mack Hollins would be the main candidates to handle the No. 4 receiver job in Grant's stead.

    Grant brought in three of four targets for 36 yards and returned one punt for 11 yards in the Dolphins' 31-23 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Grant checked in third among Dolphins wideouts in receptions and receiving yardage, trailing DeVante Parker and Isaiah Ford. He was coming off having compiled 107 all-purpose yards in a Week 3 victory against the Jaguars, and although his day wasn't quite as productive Sunday, Grant's catch total equaled a season high while his yardage tally was a new high-water mark in 2020.

    Analysis: The speedster was fairly busy due to his multiple responsibilities, but he once again played a minimal role as a receiver. The good news is that Grant has caught all five targets he's seen thus far this season, but those have amounted to just 46 yards.

    Grant secured his lone target for two yards during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Grant appears to be clearly behind DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford for the time being. Tight end Mike Gesicki also figures to regularly operate ahead of Grant. His big-play abilities and usage in the return game provide fair fantasy value in leagues that award points for special-teams yardage, but outside of such formats, Grant doesn't warrant much weekly consideration.

  • Three catches in opener

    Grant caught three of four targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 21-11 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Grant, like the rest of Miami's receiving corps, was held in check by the Patriots' secondary for the entire duration of Sunday's contest. Nor did Grant manage to make an impact on special teams, as his only punt return resulted in a loss of three yards. As the No. 3 wideout at best in an unreliable offense, Grant won't warrant fantasy consideration in most formats when he suits up against Buffalo in Week 2.

  • Avoids injury report

    Grant is not on Wednesday's injury report, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Grant missed some time in late August with a minor undisclosed injury, but he has long since recovered and isn't on the team's injury report heading into Week 1. Look for Grant to play a depth receiver role and return kicks against the Patriots in Week 1.

  • Back in team drills

    Grant (undisclosed) reeled in a 45-yard pass in team drills Friday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Grant missed a couple of practice sessions due to a minor injury, but the 27-year-old is back to competing for the No. 3 wide-receiver role in Miami. His 45-yard reception turned heads coming off an injury, and now the 5-foot-7, 171-pound wideout will spend the rest of training camp holding off Isaiah Ford, Chester Rogers and Gary Jennings for a starting role.

  • Dealing with minor injury

    Grant did not practice Tuesday due to a minor undisclosed injury, Barry Jackson of the Miami Harold reports.

    Analysis: Grant and Isaiah Ford have spent camp in competition for the No. 3 receiver gig since Allen Hurns and Albert Wilson each decided to opt out of the 2020 campaign. Ford would likely benefit from an uptick in reps in the event that Grant were to miss significant time, but it doesn't appear that his injury will hold him out for long. Rookie seventh-round pick Malcolm Perry has also been handling limited reps out of the slot.

  • May enter mix for starting job

    Grant may be needed in an expanded role after teammates Albert Wilson and Allen Hurns opted out of the 2020 season, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Grant missed the final six games of 2018 and the final five of 2019, first suffering an Achilles injury and then a high-ankle sprain. He also dealt with a hamstring injury, a shoulder injury and a concussion over the past two years, but when healthy, he typically served as Miami's third or fourth option at wide receiver while also handling kick returns and sometimes punt returns. With Wilson and Hurns out of the picture for the upcoming season, Grant and Isaiah Ford appear to be the top…read more

  • Recovered from ankle injury

    Grant (ankle) recently declared himself healthy, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Grant was placed on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury in a Week 12 loss to Cleveland. He finished the season with just 19 catches for 164 yards across 33 targets in 10 games, but he tallied a rushing touchdown and a kick-return score (the fourth special-teams TD of his four-year career). Grant has a four-year, $19.7 million extension kicking in for 2020, so he'll presumably be with the Dolphins for at least one or two more seasons. He should be in the mix for the third or fourth…read more

  • Headed to IR

    Grant (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Grant's injury is a hit to the Dolphins' wideout depth and kick-return unit. Practice squad players Isaiah Ford, Andy Jones and T.J. Rahming are internal options to fill Grant's roster spot. In 10 games this season, Grant caught 19 of his 33 targets for 164 yards and brought back 23 kickoffs for 578 yards -- good for fourth in the NFL -- and a touchdown.

  • May have high ankle sprain

    Grant is believed to be dealing with a high ankle sprain, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: After being carted to the locker room in the first quarter Sunday against the Browns, Grant was seen with a walking boot on his right foot after the 41-24 loss. Per Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, Grant didn't break any bones, but a diagnosis of a high ankle sprain indicates a multi-week absence is in his future. Look for the Dolphins to clarify Grant's health over the next few days.

  • Wearing walking boot

    Grant (ankle) was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Browns, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Grant was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Browns during the first quarter, and he was unable to retake the field. The depth wideout and return specialist has avoided sustaining any broken bones, according to Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, but a timetable for his recovery remains uncertain at this time. Allen Hurns stands to play an increased role in Miami's receiving corps as long as Grant is unable to play.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Grant (ankle) is ruled out to return against the Browns on Sunday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Grant suffered an ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday's contest. In his stead, expect Allen Hurns to serve as the No. 3 receiver behind DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson. Grant's absence also is a notable blow to Miami's special teams, as he normally handles both punt and kick return duties.

  • Exits game with ankle injury

    Grant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Grant limped off the field under his own power, but he had to be carted to the locker room from the sideline. As long as Grant is unable to retake the field, Marcus Sherels will be a candidate to field kick and punt returns.

  • Strikes twice in loss

    Grant caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and added a seven-yard touchdown run during Sunday's 37-20 loss to Buffalo. He also returned five kickoffs for 198 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: The game was getting out of hand late in the first half when Grant took a kickoff from a yard deep in the end zone and cut across the field to turn up the far sideline for a 101-yard touchdown, his first return score of the season. Later, in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, he took a pitch from a wildcat formation and swept out to the right untouched for a seven-yard touchdown, his first offensive score of the season. The fact that Grant can get from Point A to Point B in a hurry is…read more

  • Barely involved in win

    Grant caught both targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 16-12 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Grant appeared to have a shot at an expanded role in Miami's offense with Preston Williams (knee) on injured reserve, but he concluded Sunday's win with another mundane receiving line. In leagues that don't reward fantasy points for return yards, Grant doesn't warrant roster consideration.

  • Could see increased role

    Grant is a candidate to play an increased role in Miami's aerial attack with Preston Williams (knee) out for the season, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Grant appears set to compete with Allen Hurns for the No. 3 wide receiver role in Miami going forward. DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson and Mike Gesicki likely will serve as the top options in Miami's passing game, but Grant's big-play ability could make him an intriguing stash in the event that he receives a larger target share down the stretch.
