  • Finishing season on IR

    The Browns placed Tillman (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Tillman wasn't much of a factor in the Browns' passing game through the first six games of the campaign, but he saw his production spike with Jameis Winston under center. Over a four-game stretch from Weeks 7 through 11, the second-year wideout produced a 24-302-3 receiving line on 40 targets while playing at least 80 percent of the offensive snaps in every contest. However, after being forced out of the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers with a concussion, Tillman has made slow progress…read more

  • Will miss fifth straight game

    Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tillman will miss his fifth consecutive game, as he's been extremely slow to move through the league's concussion protocol. Michael Woods should again start on the outside opposite Jerry Jeudy, with Elijah Moore maintaining his slot role for Cleveland.

  • Remains limited in practice

    Tillman (concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: Tillman has been slow to move through the NFL's concussion protocol after sustaining the head injury in a Nov. 21 win over the Steelers. He's sat out the Browns' last four games, and despite being a limited participant in both of the team's first two practice sessions of Week 17, he's far from a lock to clear the five-step protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Jerry Jeudy (knee/shin) was also limited for the second day in a row while tight end David Njoku (knee) remained a…read more

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Tillman (concussion) was listed as limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Tillman is continuing to work his way through the NFL's concussion protocol. The wideout has missed four straight straight games, so his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins remains uncertain at this point.

  • Missing fourth straight game

    Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: This is the fourth game Tillman will miss after suffering a concussion against the Steelers back on Thursday night football in Week 12. The switch from Jameis Winston to Dorian Thompson-Robinson might subdue what had been a vibrant passing attack with Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore absorbing the majority of the passing volume in Tillman's absence.

  • Questionable to face Cincinnati

    Tillman (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Tillman remains in concussion protocol, but the Browns are hopeful he'll be able to play this weekend, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Tillman has missed three straight games after being concussed Week 12 against the Steelers. If he's cleared to play Sunday, he steps right back into a prominent role and plus matchup versus Cincinnati. However, the quarterback switch from Jameis Winston to Dorian Thompson-Robinson is a significant downgrade.

  • Still limited at practice

    Tillman (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Tillman, who last played in Week 12, now has one more chance to practice fully ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Either way, Friday's final injury report will reveal whether he heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to return to action. If Tillman remains sidelined versus Cincinnati, however, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and Michael Woods would be in line to lead the Browns' Week 16 wide receiver corps.

  • Practices, but still in protocol

    Tillman (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Tillman has missed Cleveland's past three games, and while Wednesday's limited session was a step in the right direction, he has yet to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, per Cabot. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed optimism Monday regarding Tillman's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Bengals, but even if the wideout returns to action, he would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups with the Browns shifting to Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center.

  • Could return to action Week 16

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday he's "hopeful" that Tillman (concussion) will be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tillman has missed three consecutive games while progressing though the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but it appears that he's trending in the right direction for Week 16. Stefanski offered similar optimism regarding the status of tight end David Njoku (hamstring), who missed Week 15's loss to the Chiefs. Getting both Tillman and Njoku on the field would provide a notable boost to Cleveland's receiving corps behind Jerry Jeudy, a development that would be particularly helpful with Nick…read more

    Tillman (concussion) will be out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com and Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram report.

    Analysis: Per Petrak, coach Kevin Stefanski relayed Friday that Tillman, who practiced in a limited capacity this week, didn't clear the NFL's concussion protocol. With Tillman still sidelined and tight end David Njoku (hamstring) listed as questionable, the Browns' top healthy pass catchers heading into the weekend are WRs Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore.

    Analysis: Tillman also was limited Wednesday, but he'll have one more chance to practice fully before Week 15 injury designations are assigned. He's missed the Browns' last two games, but his ability to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, suggests that he has a chance to gain clearance to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

    Tillman (concussion) is slated to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Tillman has missed the past two games, but after not practicing at all last week, the wideout's return to field Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. His potential return arrives at an opportune time, with fellow key pass catcher David Njoku dealing with a hamstring issue that could affect his Week 15 status.

  • Participating in practice Wednesday

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Tillman (concussion) will participate in Wednesday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tillman has missed Cleveland's last two games and didn't practice in any capacity in Week 14, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field Wednesday. In order to get the green light to play Sunday versus the Chiefs, Tillman will first need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

    Tillman remained in the concussion protocol as of Monday, Patrick Warren of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tillman, who missed the last two games due to the concussion, will need to advance to full practice participation in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance at playing in this Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Michael Woods has been seeing expanded snaps alongside starting receivers Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore thus far in Tillman's absence.

    Tillman (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's road matchup against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tillman hasn't yet resumed practicing since being forced out of Cleveland's loss to Pittsburgh back in Week 12 due to a concussion. setting him up to miss a second straight contest. Tillman's absence will leave Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore in position to operate as Jameis Winston's top two wideouts Sunday. Michael Woods will figure to be elevated from the practice squad and may be the favorite for the No. 3 role, especially with Jamari Thrash (shoulder) listed as questionable.

    Analysis: Tillman hasn't yet progressed to the stage of the concussion protocol that involves returning to practice as a limited participant, which makes him a likely candidate to miss Sunday's divisional matchup against the Steelers. Cleveland's official practice report Friday will reveal whether or not the team has made the decision to rule Tillman out for Week 14, or if he has a chance to work to gain clearance through the weekend.

    Analysis: After sitting out Monday's loss to the Steelers due to the concussion, Tillman has yet to make enough progress through the five-step protocol to log any on-field activity. Tillman will still have two more chances this week to get back on the practice field, and he'll also need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting concussion protocol.

    Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Broncos, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Even with the extra few days, Tillman was unable to clear concussion protocol after suffering the injury in last Thursday's win over the Steelers. Jerry Jeudy absorbed some of the workload in Tillman's absence last week, but slot target Elijah Moore might be tasked with more looks given Denver's star cornerback Patrick Surtain will likely follow Jeudy around most of the evening.

  • Another DNP on Friday

    Tillman (concussion) remained a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Tillman has logged back-to-back DNPs, so he's trending toward sitting out Monday against the Broncos after being concussed in last Thursday's 24-19 win over the Steelers. He'll have one more opportunity to take the practice field Saturday, but Tillman would have to log a full practice and gain clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance to exit the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to Monday's game.

    Analysis: Tillman's DNP isn't a surprise, as head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that the wideout is still in concussion protocol. Tillman has an extra day to clear the league's five-step protocol with Cleveland playing against Denver on Monday Night Football, but his status is nonetheless in doubt for that contest. If Tillman can't suit up against the Broncos, Elijah Moore could get more targets and Jamari Thrash could log more snaps on offense.

    Tillman gathered in three of eight targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-14 loss at New Orleans.

    Analysis: Prior to the Browns' Week 10 bye, Tillman surpassed 75 receiving yards in three straight games en route to a cumulative 21-255-3 line on 32 targets. The volume still was there for the second-year receiver as QB Jameis Winston aired it out 46 times, but Jerry Jeudy (6-142-1 on 11 targets), David Njoku (9-81-0 on nine targets) and Elijah Moore (6-66-1 on eight targets) were the main beneficiaries this time around.

    Tillman secured six of 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jameis Winston struggled throughout the afternoon against a relentless Chargers defense that sacked him six times and picked him off on three occasions. However, Tillman still garnered enough of his attention to tie with Jerry Jeudy for the team lead in targets while setting the pace in receiving yards.

  • Stars in upset win

    Tillman recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 99 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Tillman has benefitted from a combination of the departure of Amari Cooper as well as Jameis Winston providing the team with more stable quarterback play. He followed up his breakout Week 7 performance by catching long touchdowns of 22 and 38 yards while serving as the primary deep target in the Browns' offense. Tillman has certainly shown enough to remain locked into a key role, though his stat lines are likely to be volatile if he continues to operate more frequently in deep areas of the…read more

    Analysis: After Cleveland traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo last week, speculation as to which receiver(s) would pick up the available targets mainly focused on Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and David Njoku. Tillman, to a lesser degree, was also expected to see a bump in activity, but Sunday's results were off the charts.

    Tillman is expected to move into a regular role in three-receiver sets after the Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Bills on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore (ribs) remain ahead of him on the depth chart and will likely, along with tight end David Njoku, rank as higher priorities in the passing game, but Tillman should move into a starting role for Cleveland with Cooper no longer in the mix. Through the Browns' first six games, Tillman had mustered just three catches for nine yards on five targets while playing 114 total snaps on offense.

  • One touch in loss

    Tillman was not targeted and had one carry for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia in Week 6.

    Analysis: Tillman's lone touch came on a 3rd-and-1 on the Eagles' side of the field and resulted in a longer field-goal attempt for Dustin Hopkins, who was wide right from 52 yards. Tillman went untargeted for a third consecutive week but could grab a larger slice of the target pie in Week 7 depending on the status of Elijah Moore (ribs).

  • Nine target-less snaps in loss

    Tillman was not targeted over nine snaps in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders in Week 4.

    Analysis: The snaps were the fewest of the season for Tillman, who had been above 20 the first three weeks. Perhaps his critical drop in a Week 3 loss to the Giants cost him playing time.

  • One catch, one drop in loss

    Tillman caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The ball Tillman didn't catch was costly; he dropped a nicely placed pass from Deshaun Watson on fourth down, which turned out to be the Browns' final offensive play. Tillman was filling in for Amari Cooper, who was shaken up on the previous play. If Cooper has a significant injury, that would mean more playing time for Tillman, who has three catches on five targets for nine yards through three weeks.

  • One grab in win

    Tillman caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Tillman, who played 26 snaps for the second straight week, had just two of the 27 targets allocated to wideouts in the win. He's fourth on the depth chart, which means limited opportunities behind Amari Cooper (eight targets), Jerry Jeudy (six) and Elijah Moore (eight). Tillman has two receptions on three targets for five yards through two games.

  • One target in Week 1

    Tillman caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys in Week 1.

    Analysis: Tillman served as the No. 4 wideout, playing 26 snaps, as the Browns leaned heavily on their top three of Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore. None of those three were productive in the loss, but that was mainly due to an ugly performance by quarterback Deshaun Watson (51.1 QB rating) behind a patchwork offensive line.

  • Four catches in preseason finale

    Tillman brought in four of five targets for 52 yards in the Browns' 37-33 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Tillman saw his first target on the first play of the Browns' second possession, with the 2023 third-round pick recording a 23-yard grab from Jameis Winston. Tillman went on to make six- and 19-yard receptions on that drive, putting together a strong finish to the preseason. The Tennessee product generated a modest 21-224 line across 14 regular-season games as a rookie, and he's projected to enter Week 1 operating as Cleveland's No. 4 receiver.

    Tillman caught one of two targets for three yards in Saturday's 23-10 preseason loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: While he didn't make much of an impact, Tillman got the start for Cleveland and both his targets came on the team's opening drive with Jameis Winston under center. The offseason addition of Jerry Jeudy (leg) pushed Tillman down the depth chart at wide receiver, but the 2023 third-round pick still has a chance to overtake Elijah Moore for the No. 3 spot before the regular season begins.

  • Could take step forward in Year 2

    Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer and Zac Jackson of The Athletic suggest that Tillman (concussion) is a candidate to take a step forward in his second season as a pro.

    Analysis: Per Cabot, the Browns figure to frequently employ Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore in three-receiver sets, but Tillman nonetheless should see his share of opportunities as the season progresses, especially if injuries hit the aforementioned trio. As a rookie, the 2023 third-round pick recorded a 21-224-0 line on 44 targets in 14 regular-season games, but if he's able to carve out steadier playing time in 2024, the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder -- who missed Cleveland's wild-card loss to the…read more

    Tillman (concussion) finished the 2023 season with 21 catches for 224 yards on 44 targets and added an eight-yard run.

    Analysis: Tillman dressed in 14 games as a rookie and took on a larger role down the stretch before missing last weekend's wild-card round playoff loss to the Texans due to a concussion. He's expected to be healthy for OTAs, and while the 2023 third-round draft pick out of Tennessee put up underwhelming numbers in his first NFL campaign, he could benefit from more stability at quarterback in his second season.

    Analysis: Tillman, who was forced out of the second half of this past Sunday's loss to Cincinnati due to a concussion, thus will target a potential return to action in the divisional round of the postseason, should Cleveland advance.

    Analysis: Tillman entered concussion protocol during the second half of Sunday's loss to Cincinnati. If he isn't ready to play in Saturday's wild-card game at Houston, the Browns will look to Marquise Goodwin (knee) and/or David Bell to take snaps alongside regular starting wideouts Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore.

The wideout's absence from practice two days later suggests he's in the concussion protocol, putting his status in question for this Saturday's wild-card game in Houston.

    Analysis: Tillman continues to see significant time on the field, playing nearly 80 percent of the offensive snaps in the eight games since Donovan Peoples-Jones was traded. While the rookie wideout has experienced an increased target rate over the last five games, Tillman's routes-run percentage is the lowest among the Browns' regulars.

  • Four grabs in Week 15 win

    Tillman caught four of eight targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: The eight targets tied Amari Cooper for second on the Browns and set a new career high for Tillman, but the rookie didn't do much with his opportunities. The 2023 third-round pick has still caught multiple passes in four straight games as his role in the passing game increases, and he'll look to put together a breakout performance in Week 16 against the Texans.

  • Remains involved

    Tillman caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars in Week 14.

    Analysis: Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore dwarf Tillman in terms of targets, but the rookie continues to get significant usage. He's played 81.4 percent of the offensive snaps since the Browns traded Donovan Peoples-Jones to Detroit. Recently, that usage has translated into targets with an average of five per game over the last three weeks. Now that the Browns have settled on Joe Flacco as the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, Tillman could be in line to make a meaningful fantasy impact.

  • Snap leader at WR

    Tillman caught two of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.

    Analysis: Tillman led the team's wideouts with 66 snaps and had a season high in targets. The rookie has been a regular presence on the field the last five weeks but it's only been recently that the usage translated into targets; Tillman's seen 11 passes thrown his way the last two weeks. Top wide receiver Amari Cooper sustained a concussion Sunday, leaving Tillman, Elijah Moore and David Bell as the top three healthy wideouts.

  • Career-best numbers in loss

    Tillman caught four of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: The 2023 third-round pick hauled in more catches for more yardage than he had in his first seven NFL games combined, but all of his production came in the first half with fellow rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. Thompson-Robinson left the game in the third quarter with a concussion, and the lone pass Tillman saw from PJ Walker afterward fell incomplete. Even if Thompson-Robinson is able to clear the league's protocol and suit up in Week 13 against the Rams, Tillman has yet to show…read more

  • Ten combined yards in win

    Tillman caught one of two targets for two yards and had one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Tillman continued to see ample time on the field -- this was his second consecutive week with 66 snaps -- but his impact has been limited. Sunday's two touches and 10 combined yards were seasons highs for the rookie, and the switch from Deshaun Watson (shoulder) to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center likely won't make much of a difference for Tillman.

  • Three targets in win

    Tillman did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: For a second consecutive week, the rookie was a top-three wideout in terms of snaps (66, 85 percent), as Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee) were unavailable. Tillman's played a combined 120 snaps the last two games but has just four targets and one catch to show for it.

  • Season-high snap count

    Tillman caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 27-0 win over Arizona in Week 9.

    Analysis: The 2023 third-round pick was the main beneficiary of the Donovan Peoples-Jones trade, as well as an injury absence for David Bell (knee). Tillman played a season-high 54 snaps, bettering his previous high of 14, but much like Peoples-Jones, the usage didn't translate into much volume. Marquise Goodwin, also in the mix for more run as a deep threat for the Browns, saw only eight snaps before leaving the game in the third quarter with a concussion.

  • Moves up depth chart again

    Tillman is expected to be among the top four wideouts Sunday, with David Bell (knee) ruled out for the Week 9 matchup against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Tillman, who has not been active the last three games, moved up the ladder twice this week. First, it was Donovan Peoples-Jones being traded to the Lions, then it was Bell's status for Week 9. It's an ideal week for Tillman, as the return of quarterback Deshaun Watson signals a more productive passing game. Marquise Goodwin is also expected to play a greater role and likely to get most of the snaps that had gone to Peoples-Jones in previous games.

  • Could replace Peoples-Jones

    Tillman will likely serve as the primary replacement for Donovan Peoples-Jones, whom the Browns traded to the Lions on Tuesday, Terry Pluto of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Tillman, a rookie third-round pick out of Tennessee, has been inactive the last three games and was a healthy scratch on two of those occasions. When he was active for the Browns' first four games of the season, Tillman averaged 11 snaps per contest and was targeted a total of three times. The Browns' decision to move Peoples-Jones doesn't come out of nowhere; he was in the final year of his contract and seemingly fell out of favor as a priority in Cleveland's passing game. The trade may not…read more

  • Healthy inactive

    Tillman (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Colts.

    Analysis: Tillman missed last week's game due to a hip injury. While he was again listed as questionable due to the issue, it looks like he is healthy, but the pass catcher will simply be held out as a coach's decision.

  • Back from hip injury

    Tillman (hip) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Tillman sat out this past Sunday's upset win over San Francisco after being a late addition to the injury report, but the 2023 third-round draft pick has seemingly put the hip issue behind him. Barring a setback, Tillman should suit up Sunday against the Colts.

  • Won't suit up vs. 49ers

    Tillman (hip) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tillman will sit out in Week 6 after first being added to the injury report Thursday. Marquise Goodwin could see an uptick in snaps on the boundary Sunday in Tillman's absence.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Tillman (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The rookie was added to the injury report Thursday. Tillman caught his first NFL pass in the Browns' Week 4 loss to the Ravens, gaining five yards. He's buried on the Browns' wideout depth chart and has minimal fantasy value outside of dynasty formats.

  • Makes first NFL catch in loss

    Tillman caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens in Week 4.

    Analysis: Tillman was targeted for the first time this season and made his first NFL grab. All the targets came on the Browns' final possession, including two in the red zone. The rookie remains buried on the WR depth chart and has played only 44 snaps through four weeks, but as he grows more comfortable with the scheme, his role in the passing game could increase coming out of the team's Week 5 bye.

  • No targets again

    Tillman played 11 snaps and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Titans in Week 3.

    Analysis: That made three consecutive weeks without a target for Tillman, who has averaged 10 snaps per game. He sits on the second tier of Cleveland's wideout depth chart along with David Bell (four targets, 31 snaps) and Marquise Goodwin (four targets, 30 snaps).

  • Untargeted in loss

    Tillman played nine snaps and was not targeted in Monday's 26-22 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: For the second consecutive week, Tillman saw minimal time on the field and went untargeted. His 19 snaps through two weeks are the fewest among Cleveland's six wideouts.

  • No targets in debut

    Tillman played 11 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals in Week 1.

    Analysis: Tillman, who was selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, made his NFL debut Sunday. He was part of the second tier of wideouts, along with Marquise Goodwin (10 snaps) and David Bell (10), none of whom made much impact on a rainy day in Cleveland.

  • Makes big catch Thursday

    Tillman secured two of three targets for 50 yards in the Browns' 18-18 preseason tie with the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Tillman saw both of his targets on the Browns' first drive, a 12-play, 75-yard march that ended in a John Kelly fumble at the shadow of the Eagles' goal line. The bulk of Tillman's production came on a game-long 36-yard reception down the left side that put the ball at Philadelphia's 16-yard line. Tillman has recorded a pair of grabs in each of the Browns' first three preseason games, and with Elijah Moore (rib) and Marquise Goodwin (NFI-illness) both still sidelined, the rookie third-round…read more

  • Grabs two passes Friday

    Tillman caught two of four targets for seven yards in Friday's preseason game against Washington.

    Analysis: Tillman, a third-round pick in 2023, has four catches through two preseason games. He's expected to land a roster spot, but where Tillman sits on the depth chart depends on injuries in the wide receiver room. Elijah Moore sustained a rib injury Friday, and he will join Marquise Goodwin (illness) and Jaelon Darden (leg) in the trainer's room.

  • Two catches in preseason opener

    Tillman secured two of three targets for 35 yards during the Browns' 21-16 preseason win over the Jets in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game.

    Analysis: The 2023 third-round pick tied with Austin Watkins for the team lead in receiving yardage while also recording the Browns' second-longest catch of the night (20 yards). Tillman was a 1,000-yard receiver at Tennessee in 2021 before being limited to six games as a senior, and with Marquise Goodwin (illness) on the NFI list indefinitely, the rookie could carve out a No. 4 receiver role with a strong enough summer.
