News

  • Signed to Browns' practice squad

    Cleveland signed Proche to the practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Proche was released from the Browns' active roster Saturday, but he has opted to stick around on Cleveland's practice squad. He didn't see much playing time across his four regular-season outings this year, but the 2020 sixth-round pick could be elevated to the active roster to provide depth at wide receiver following Amari Cooper's trade to the Bills on Tuesday.

  • Getting cut

    Cleveland released Proche on Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Proche had seen just 10 offensive snaps over four games through the first five weeks of the season, and now he's on his way out with the Browns. He'll have to look for another opportunity with a different team.

  • First target in Week 4

    Proche caught his lone target for three yards and returned two punts for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas in Week 4.

    Analysis: Proche was targeted for the first time in three games. He played just three snaps on offense and has five offensive snaps overall for the season. His main role thus far has been on special teams.

  • Contributes as returner

    Proche played one snap on offense and returned three punts for 25 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: After beginning the season on the practice squad, Proche was signed to the 53-man roster Saturday. In addition to the punt returns, he also lined up as a kickoff returner after Pierre Strong (hamstring) left the game early in the third quarter. Strong's injury plus David Bell's hip injury could lead to a bigger role for Proche.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Browns signed Proche to the active roster Saturday, in preparation for Sunday's road matchup against the Jaguars, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

    Analysis: Proche began the regular season on Cleveland's practice squad, but he's now earned a spot on the 53-man roster. The 2020 sixth-round wide receiver appeared in 10 regular-season games with the Browns in 2023, in which span he contributed on special teams and failed to secure any of his five targets.

  • Returns to Cleveland

    Proche signed with the Browns' practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Proche failed to make the Browns' 53-man roster after finishing the preseason with seven catches (on seven targets) for 60 yards and one touchdown. The 2020 sixth-round wide receiver appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Browns last season, though he wasn't able to record a catch on five targets.

  • Let go by Cleveland

    The Browns terminated Proche's contract Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Proche, who had been in line for a return job, was cut, not waived. That means he's not subject to waivers and can sign with any team immediately, which potentially leaves a return to the Browns on the table.

  • Re-signs with Cleveland

    The Browns have re-signed Proche.

    Analysis: While Proche didn't catch any of his five targets in 10 games with Cleveland during the 2023 regular season, the 2020 sixth-rounder did contribute on special teams by returning 22 punts for 197 yards as well as one kickoff for 19 yards. Now that he's back in the fold, Proche will have a chance to retain his depth WR/special teams role with the Browns in 2024.

  • Returns one punt in loss

    Proche returned one punt for two yards in Saturday's 45-14 wild-card playoff loss to Houston.

    Analysis: Proche was a midseason acquisition and took over the punt-return duties after Cleveland traded Donovan Peoples-Jones to the Lions. Proche rarely played on offense outside of a Week 18 meaningless game. His primary body of work over four NFL seasons is that of returner, and he enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Special teams only in loss

    Proche returned two punts for 30 yards and did not play on offense in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.

    Analysis: By the end of the game, Proche was sitting fourth on the depth chart, but he never stepped on the field with the offense. Amari Cooper sustained a concussion in the second quarter and left the game, but head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to get by with a trio of Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman and David Bell. Proche has played a total of nine snaps with the offense and been targeted once through nine games.

  • No run on offense

    Proche did not play on offense and had three punt returns for 37 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Proche, who is operating as the No. 5 wideout while Marquise Goodwin (concussion) is unavailable, has taken hold as the primary punt returner. He had a long return of 21 yards that put Cleveland's offense in business on the Pittsburgh side of the field in the third quarter, but an interception ended that threat. In three games on the active roster, Proche has one target and 10 punt returns for 92 yards.

  • One target in win

    Proche did not catch his lone target and returned one punt for zero yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: He was in the lineup for a second straight week as the Browns were without Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee), but Proche was on the field for just three offensive snaps. Sunday's target was his first of the season.

  • Gets promotion to active roster

    Cleveland signed Proche from its practice squad to its active roster Tuesday.

    Analysis: Proche played just six offensive snaps in his 2023 debut Sunday versus Arizona, but the Browns evidently saw enough of him as a punt returner (six returns, 55 yards) to bring him up on a full-time basis ahead of Week 10. In 2022 with Baltimore, Proche turned 17 targets into eight receptions for 62 yards.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Proche reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: With David Bell (knee) inactive and Marquise Goodwin (concussion) exiting in the third quarter, Proche was the fourth receiving option for nearly half the game. He ultimately only saw six offensive snaps (eight percent), while also returning six punts for 55 yards on 10 special-teams snaps (45 percent). He will again be a candidate to be promoted to the active roster in Week 10 versus the Ravens.

  • Handles punt returns

    Proche was not targeted and returned six punts for 55 yards in Sunday's 27-0 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Proche, who was promoted to the active roster after being signed to the practice squad earlier in the week, had six snaps on offense. The Browns earlier in the week traded away their primary punt returner, Donovan Peoples-Jones, which opened up a role for Proche on special teams. However, David Bell (knee) could also compete for the top return job once he's healthy.

  • Promoted Saturday

    The Browns elevated Proche to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The fourth-year wideout has yet to appear in an NFL game this year, but he signed with Cleveland's practice squad earlier in the week and has been promoted ahead of Sunday's contest. Proche spent the last three seasons with Baltimore, recording 278 yards on 25 receptions.

  • Joins Browns' practice squad

    The Browns signed Proche to their practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Proche was cut by the Ravens at the end of training camp ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. He had workouts with the Jets and Giants in September, but has finally caught on with the Browns' practice squad. Proche will work on getting up to speed with the offense's playbook and prepare for a chance to be called up to the active roster.

  • Works out with New York

    Proche had a tryout with the Giants on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Proche was unable to secure a spot on the Ravens' roster during camp, but this was his second workout for a team since his departure Aug. 29, having previously worked out for the Jets on Wednesday. It's unclear if the Giants are interested in Proche for his receiving or return ability, or possibly both, but the team sustained no injuries to its receiving corps in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

  • Works out with New York

    Proche participated in a workout with the Jets on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Proche was waived by the Ravens after putting up just four catches for 34 yards in three preseason games while nursing a hip injury. He didn't show much production in three years with Baltimore but is hoping that a change of scenery can help turn things around.

  • Let go by Baltimore

    The Ravens waived Proche (hip) on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Proche mustered just four catches for 34 yards and fumbled the ball once in three preseason games. He hasn't had that much impact since being drafted by the Ravens in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft and he'll look to prove himself elsewhere once he clears waivers.

  • Bruises hip

    Proche missed Monday's practice due to a hip contusion, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    Analysis: Coach John Harbaugh did not seem too concerned about the injury and hinted that Proche could be back at practice Tuesday. After a disappointing 2022 season that saw him record just 62 yards on eight receptions, the 26-year-old is not a lock to make the final 53-man roster. Thus, a quick return would be beneficial so he can continue competing.

  • Disappoints in 2022

    Proche had eight catches on 17 targets for 62 yards and no touchdowns in 2022.

    Analysis: It was a disappointing third season for Proche. The season began with Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay as the Ravens' top targets, but there was still room for Proche to carve out a role, and yet he was unable to do that. Bateman and Duvernay each suffered season-ending injuries at different points of the season, but it was Demarcus Robinson and Sammy Watkins who ultimately took on bigger roles. Proche remains under contract for one more season, but his inability to be involved in the offense…read more

  • Fails to capitalize on extra snaps

    Proche played 32 of the Ravens' 75 snaps on offense and finished with zero catches on three targets in Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: With the Ravens waiving DeSean Jackson ahead of the Week 18 contest, Proche stepped into a top-three role at receiver for the regular-season finale alongside Demarcus Robinson and Sammy Watkins. Despite playing double-digit snaps for the first time since Week 13, Proche couldn't forge a connection with third-string quarterback Anthony Brown, who was making his first NFL start with Lamar Jackson (knee) and Tyler Huntley (shoulder) sidelined. Proche could continue to serve as the Ravens' No. 3…read more

  • Catches two passes in win

    Proche secured both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: On top of his uninspiring performance as a receiver, Proche was also given an opportunity in the game as a passer. Unfortunately, his only attempt on a gadget play in the fourth quarter was intercepted in the end zone on a throw to Kenyan Drake. The 26-year-old wideout played just 13 of the Ravens' 72 offensive snaps while operating as the team's No. 4 receiver. Proche can not be trusted for fantasy purposes with such limited usage. In addition, Baltimore's passing offense stands to take a hit…read more

  • Held catchless in win

    Proche failed to secure both of his targets in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Proche operated as the No. 3 wideout Sunday, playing just 25 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old could not make the most of his opportunities on a day when the offense struggled to put points on the board. Proche will be difficult to trust going forward and is likely best left out of fantasy lineups when the Ravens visit the Jaguars in Week 12.

  • Logs two receptions Monday

    Proche had two catches for 22 yards on two targets Monday against the Saints.

    Analysis: Monday's box score was an anomaly for Baltimore. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Lamar Jackson was the first quarterback in over 30 years to complete passes to 10 different players while having no more than 12 completions overall. In other words, Baltimore spread the ball around with Mark Andrews (shoulder) and Rashod Bateman (foot) sidelined. With that wide distribution, Proche's two catches tied for the team lead. Bateman is done for the season, so Proche could continue to have a role in the…read more

  • Season-high three catches in Week 8

    Proche caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Thursday's 27-22 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Proche came in with only two targets all season but doubled that total in this game alone. His elevated usage can be chalked up to the Ravens losing both Mark Andrews (shoulder) and Rashod Bateman (foot) to injuries during the game. Even if Bateman remains sidelined in Week 9 against the Saints, Proche will be no higher than third in the wide receiver pecking order behind Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson.

  • Catches first pass of season

    Proche hauled in one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: With Rashod Bateman (foot) sidelined, Proche played a season-high 15 offensive snaps and saw his first two targets of the campaign. Aside from Devin Duvernay, who was utilized early and often, the Ravens' wideouts failed to make any big plays through the air for a second straight game. However, Baltimore's passing attack has a good chance to bounce back against the Giants' depleted secondary in Week 6, so Proche could be in line for another solid role if Bateman remains sidelined.

  • Not listed on injury report

    Proche wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Proche missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury, but it appears he'll be good to go for Week 4. Regardless, he'll have a tough time garnering many targets playing behind Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson.

  • Officially inactive

    Proche (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Proche failed to suit up during the team's Week 2 contest against the Dolphins with the same injury, and he'll once again watch from the sidelines Sunday against New England. However, his ability to practice in full during Friday's session suggests he's on track to return next Sunday when Baltimore hosts the Bills. In the meantime, fellow WRs Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson and Tylan Wallace should all take on an expanded roles.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Proche (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Proche missed two consecutive practices prior to sitting out the team's Week 2 loss to Miami. However, he returned to practice this week with back-to-back limited sessions before being a full participant Friday. Regardless, even if Proche is available, he'll likely have a tough time garnering many targets behind Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson.

  • Logs limited practice

    Proche (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

    Analysis: Proche missed two consecutive practices prior to sitting out Sunday's game versus Miami, so the fact that he's now practicing again is an encouraging sign that he might be available for Week 3 at New England. However, with Proche still questionable and Devin Duvernay's (concussion) status also in doubt, the Ravens could be compelled to lean more heavily on Demarcus Robinson and Tylan Wallace than they'd otherwise like to against a stout Patriots defense.

  • Officially inactive

    Proche (groin) is inactive Sunday against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Proche went into Sunday doubtful after missing practice Thursday and Friday. In his absence, Tylan Wallace will slide up to No. 4 on the team's wide receiver positional depth chart, although it's unlikely Wallace will see more than a handful of snaps on offense.

  • Doubtful for Week 2

    Proche (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Proche was unable to practice Thursday or Friday after a limited session Wednesday. Tylan Wallace could see a few more snaps if Proche sits out against Miami, though the Ravens' reliance on heavy sets offensively normally minimizes the impact of the team's depth options at wide receiver.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Proche (groin) did not practice Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Proche was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, so this is a step in the wrong direction for the 25-year-old. If he is unable to go Sunday against the Dolphins, Tylan Wallace would likely be looking at extra opportunity as the team's No. 4 wide receiver.

  • Dealing with groin injury

    Proche (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Proche played just five snaps during the season opener against the Jets, but it's unclear if his limited snaps were part of the game plan or due to his current groin injury. If he isn't upgraded to a full participant Thursday or Friday, the third-year wideout's status for Week 2 could be in jeopardy.

  • Plays five snaps in Week 1

    Proche wasn't targeted across five snaps on offense during Sunday's 24-9 victory against the Jets.

    Analysis: Based on their Week 1 usage, Proche and Tylan Wallace (five snaps) look to be locked in a battle for the No. 4 spot at receiver behind Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson. In addition to failing to draw a target, Proche was called for a holding penalty on a 12-yard run by Kenyan Drake, which doesn't help Proche's case for playing time.

  • Practices Tuesday

    Proche (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Proche has been dealing with a soft tissue injury, but he returned to practice after missing a couple weeks. With nearly two full weeks left before Baltimore's Sept. 11 season opener against the Jets, he has plenty of time to get back up to speed.

  • Not playing in preseason finale

    Proche (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's preseason game versus Washington, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The bad news for Proche is that this means he'll miss the entire preseason -- he's been sitting out since Aug. 9 with a soft-tissue injury of some sort. The good news for Proche is that the Ravens still don't have many plus options at wide receiver behind Rashod Bateman, so he will likely have a healthy role in the offense once he returns.

    Proche (undisclosed) still isn't practicing but caught balls from a JUGS machine Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Proche has been touted as one of the Ravens' standout performers through two weeks of training camp, but he's been out since Aug. 9 with an unspecified soft-tissue injury. While likely to miss a third straight preseason game this weekend, Proche seems to at least be eyeing a return to practice in the near future. The missed time could hurt his bid for a Week 1 starting job, though the Ravens still don't have great alternatives beyond Rashod Bateman. Behind Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Proche are…read more

  • To miss 1-to-2 weeks

    Coach John Harbaugh said Proche wasn't available for Thursday's preseason game against the Titans due to a soft-tissue injury that will sideline the wide receiver 1-to-2 weeks, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "It's not going to be too long," Harbaugh added.

    Analysis: If the given timetable surpasses the two-week mark, Proche could be in danger of missing the Ravens' final two exhibitions on Sunday, Aug. 21 in Arizona and Saturday, Aug. 27 against the Commanders. In a Ravens receiving corps with few proven commodities outside of tight end Mark Andrews, Proche seems poised to miss out on opportunities to make his mark during a key time of the NFL calendar. Tylan Wallace picked up a knee injury Thursday, while the team held out its presumed top two wideouts…read more

    Proche (undisclosed) won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Titans, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Proche didn't practice Tuesday, but we suspect that he would have sat this one out in any case, with the Ravens resting multiple key players Thursday, including fellow wideouts Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay. In that context, added reps will be available for the likes of Tylan Wallace, Jaylon Moore and Binjimen Victor, among others.

  • Misses practice

    Proche didn't practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The absence puts his status in doubt for Thursday's preseason game against Tennessee, though it's possible Proche had already earned the right to sit that one out along with a number of Baltimore starters. He and Devin Duvernay have been getting most of the first-team reps alongside Rashod Bateman in training camp, with reports from multiple Baltimore beat writers pinpointing Proche as one of the stars of camp. Duvernay is approximately the same size, significantly faster and was drafted three…read more

  • Excels in camp

    Proche has been one of the standouts from the first two weeks of Ravens training camp, building chemistry with quarterback Lamar Jackson, Ryan Mink of BaltimoreRavens.com reports.

    Analysis: Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic agrees that Proche has been one of the team's most consistent players, catching passes in "pretty much every area of the field" while running precise routes. It's perhaps a bit of a surprise to hear the 2020 sixth-round pick is having success downfield, considering he ran a 4.63 40-yard dash coming out of SMU, where he was mostly a high-volume possession receiver. Regardless of his exact role, Proche has a nice opportunity entering Year 3 after the Ravens traded…read more

  • Competing for snaps in offseason

    Proche faces added significance to his offseason work this year after the trade of Marquise Brown, Jeff Zrebiec of the Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Ravens have yet to make a splash in the wideout market after trading Brown to the Cardinals in exchange for the 23rd overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, suggesting the team has confidence in the group of young pass catchers already on the roster. Along with Devin Duvernay and Tylan Wallace, Proche appears to have an opportunity to solidify a decent role ahead of the 2022 campaign with his performances during OTAs and other offseason workouts. However, Baltimore also brought in six undrafted…read more

  • Shows improvement in Year 2

    Proche finished the season with 16 catches for 202 yards on 20 targets.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout moved into a larger role within the offense after playing a mere 25 offensive snaps as a rookie and recording one reception. Proche showed the skills that made him effective in college, running sharp routes and demonstrating good hands by catching 80 percent of his targets and dropping zero passes. Baltimore will likely go into next season with Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay as its top three receivers and Proche will have a chance to slot in as the…read more

  • Won't play Sunday

    Proche (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Proche was also inactive in Week 17 against the Rams. With the Ravens' wide receiver unit healthy, Proche will be the odd man out Sunday against the Steelers.

  • Sitting after seven-catch game

    Proche (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Proche's placement on the inactive list is somewhat surprising after he enjoyed a career day in last week's loss to the Bengals, with the second-year wideout hauling in seven of eight targets for 76 yards. Baltimore's decision to hold out Proche and Miles Boykin is likely a sign that the team is more confident in the conditioning of Sammy Watkins, who was limited to just three snaps on offense last week in his return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Meanwhile, rookie Tylan Wallace has been a…read more

  • Quietly breaks out

    Proche caught seven passes for 76 yards on eight targets against Cincinnati on Sunday.

    Analysis: Proche stepped up with Devin Duvernay (ankle) unavailable and enjoyed a breakout game in the process. He otherwise had just a 14-yard reception to his credit in the NFL, though Proche was a productive high-volume receiver at SMU in college. Proche is unlikely to project well outside of the slot and can't match the big-play ability of Duvernay, but a game like this is still a promising data point for the second-year wideout as a fringe prospect. It also supports the notion he might stay involved…read more

  • Inactive Thursday

    Proche (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game at Miami.

    Analysis: Proche played only three offensive snaps in Week 9 and is a healthy scratch for Thursday. Tylan Wallace and Miles Boykin will be the depth options at wide receiver for Baltimore.

  • Held without a catch Sunday

    Proche was held without a catch on one target Sunday against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Proche's playing time fell off a cliff Sunday, playing five offensive snaps after seeing 47 such snaps in Week 5 against the Colts. Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay saw the most snaps among Baltimore receivers. It appears Bateman's injection into the lineup could significantly impact Proche's playing time going forward.

  • Two grabs against Colts

    Proche caught both of his targets for a total of 15 yards Monday against the Colts.

    Analysis: Proche's role was scaled back Monday after he broke out in Week 4 with five grabs for 74 yards against the Broncos. Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown fueled the pass-catching production that led to Baltimore's comeback, and targets were few and far between for Proche, who did play a season-high 47 snaps. If Sammy Watkins is limited in Week 6, Proche could see a healthy dose of snaps Sunday against the Chargers.

  • Makes splash in Week 4 win

    Proche caught five of six targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: The 2020 sixth-round pick came into Sunday with only two catches in 17 career NFL games, but Proche stepped up as a reliable option for Lamar Jackson in Denver, tying Mark Andrews for the team lead in catches and finishing second to Marquise Brown in receiving yards. Proche is fighting with Devin Duvernay for the No. 3 spot on the Ravens' depth chart, and this performance may have given him the edge heading into a Week 5 tilt against the Colts.

  • No targets in opener

    Proche did not draw a target on six offensive snaps Monday against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Proche turned in a strong training camp and preseason to secure a roster spot but did not factor much into Monday's contest. Baltimore leaned on Sammy Watkins, Marquise Brown and Devin Duvernay at receiver for the majority of the game. Proche does not have a clear path to a role as it currently stands. Baltimore hosts Kansas City on Sunday Night Football in Week 2.

  • Scores TD in blowout

    Proche caught each of his four targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 37-3 preseason win over Washington.

    Analysis: Proche put his stamp on the route with an emphatic contested catch in the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He's been one of the standouts of Baltimore training camp, but he's still getting most of his work with backups even as the Ravens deal with a number of injuries at wide receiver. Proche still seems more likely to get Week 1 touches on special teams, if at all, but it is possible he gets some snaps on offense, especially if Marquise Brown (hamstring) and/or Sammy…read more

  • Resumes practicing

    Proche (back) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Proche departed Monday's session early due to back cramps, and he skipped Tuesday's practice entirely, but he now appears healthy. He stands to resume handling increased opportunities in Baltimore's wide receiving corps, which is still operating without Marquise Brown (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (undisclosed), Rashod Bateman (groin) and Miles Boykin (hamstring).

  • Ends practice early

    Proche suffered a back injury at Monday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Coach John Harbaugh said Proche is dealing with cramps, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. After Proche suffered his injury Monday, he remained on the field with a trainer but did not resume handling any reps. The Ravens are already operating without all of Marquise Brown (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (undisclosed) and Rashod Bateman (groin) in their wide receiver corps.

  • Making waves early in camp

    Proche has impressed through the early part of training camp, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The second-year receiver is doing exactly what he needed to in order to secure his roster spot after the Ravens added several wideouts during the offseason. Proche, who recorded just one catch as a rookie, reportedly has been the most productive receiver in practice thus far and is showing reliable hands and an ability to get open. At this rate, Proche should make the team, though he'd likely open the year well down the depth chart.

  • Quiet rookie season

    Proche played 25 offensive snaps as a rookie for the Ravens, recording one catch for 14 yards on three targets. He added 198 yards on punt returns.

    Analysis: The SMU product did not crack the receiver rotation in his first season with the Ravens. Marquise Brown, Mark Andrews and Willie Snead combined for 60 percent of the targets, while players like Miles Boykin, Devin Duvernay and late-season addition Dez Bryant saw modest roles in the passing game. As a sixth-round pick with below-average athletic measurables, it's not entirely surprising that Proche was lightly used as a rookie. His 2020 season should be considered more of an incomplete grade…read more

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    Proche (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: The rookie sixth-rounder will sit out for the first time this season with Chris Moore (hand) back in the lineup. Through 14 games, Proche has mainly contributed in the return game. Either Marquise Brown or Willie Snead will fill in on punt returns in Proche's place.

  • Back from COVID-19 list

    The Ravens activated Proche (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

  • Optimistic for Week 15

    Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Proche is "on track" to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: Proche was considered a close contact to an infected person. As long as he continues to test negative, he'll be available for Sunday's game. Proche rarely contributes on offense, but he's the team's top punt returner. Through 13 games, Proche has averaged 8.3 yards per return (12th in the league).

  • Could still play Week 15

    Coach John Harbaugh stated that Proche has been identified as a close contact to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though Proche won't be available to practice with the team Thursday after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the sixth-round rookie is expected to be available Week 15 if he continues to test negative. The SMU product collected the first catch of his NFL career Week 11 against the Titans, but he remains without a reception over his other 12 appearances on the season.

    The Ravens placed Proche on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Proche was placed on the list due to coming into close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Per coach John Harbaugh, Proche still could play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars despite not practicing this week if he continues to test negative in the coming days, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Along with Proche, the team also placed receivers Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin on the list Wednesday.

  • Catches first pass

    Proche caught his lone target for 14 yards and returned one punt for seven yards during Sunday's loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick recorded the first catch of his NFL career during the third quarter, which was his only offensive snap of the contest. Proche's only consistent role for the Ravens is handling punt-return duties.

  • Could make impact in return game

    Proche is the favorite to take over as the team's primary returner following De'Anthony Thomas' decision to opt out of the 2020 season, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie out of SMU still has his work cut out for him in terms of making an impact on offense, but Proche will likely get the chance to contribute on special teams right away. Proche logged 50 punt returns in college and averaged a career-best 9.6 yards per return in 2019. However, Proche (4.63 40-yard dash) lacks standout speed, so it's not a lock that he'll remain the team's returner all season.
