Kadarius Toney

FA Wide Receiver #19

Browns hosted free agent WR Kadarius Toney for a tryout.

Toney was cut by the Chiefs as they got down to their 53-man roster. The Seahawks hosted him for a visit last week but nothing has materialized from the meeting. The Browns have made various efforts to add depth to their receiving room via the draft and the trade market in recent seasons. Jerry Jeudy is locked in as their No. 2 receiver but Toney could be a part-time third receiver if he signs in Cleveland. Toney could also find a new home later in the season once injuries start to take their toll on rosters.
Jerry Jeudy

CLE Wide Receiver #3

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (knee) was removed from the Week 1 injury report and will play against the Cowboys.

Jeudy practiced in full throughout the week so the knee issue should be a non-factor. He suffered the seemingly minor knee injury in camp but has been participating in practice for at least a few weeks. Jeudy will serve as the Browns’ No. 2 receiver in a matchup with Dallas that Vegas projects for shockingly few points. In a sleepy Week 1 opener, Jeudy is on the WR3/4 border.
Jedrick Wills Jr.

CLE Tackle #71

Jedrick Willis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys.

In addition to WIllis being ruled out, the Browns have designated fellow starting tackle Jack Conklin as questionable with his knee injury. Willis was activated off the PUP list last week, but the 25-year-old bookend will not be ready to roll against the Dallas pass rush for the opener. If Conklin can’t go as well, it could be a day where Deshaun Watson needs to use his legs quite a bit.
Jedrick Wills Jr.

CLE Tackle #71

Browns LT Jedrick Wills (knee) did not practice on Thursday.

It’s possible this is a maintenance day for Wills, who was limited in Wednesday’s practice but is just days removed from being activated off the PUP list. Wills has already said he won’t start on Sunday against the Cowboys, which could put James Hudson in line to protect Deshaun Watson’s blind side.
Jerry Jeudy

CLE Wide Receiver #3

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (knee) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Cowboys.

Jeudy cropped up with a knee injury early in camp but still managed to practice in some capacity throughout August. A full practice to open the week suggests he is good to go for Week 1. Jeudy should immediately step in as the Browns’ No. 2 receiver opposite Amari Cooper, giving him a clear path to a strong fantasy season. The big caveat is that he needs Deshaun Watson needs to turn things around in short order. If Watson comes close to living up to the hype that surrounded his arrival in Cleveland, Jeudy could finally emerge as a fantasy WR2.
Jerome Ford

CLE Running Back #34

Team reporter Kelsey Russo said RB Jerome Ford “is poised to have another strong season in the featured back role.”

The report helpfully affirms prior fantasy market assumptions about Ford’s likely role. The Browns’ Weeks 1-4 schedule includes the Cowboys, Jaguars, Giants and Raiders. Ford’s access to high-volume touch counts helps keep him RB2/3-viable against these stacked defensive fronts. Russo also lists veteran D’Onta Foreman in the No. 2 running back spot, having "[demonstrated during] his two preseason games how he can catch out of the backfield and be utilized as a power back, having success in short yardage situations.”
Denzel Ward

CLE Defensive Back #21

Browns DB Denzel Ward has cleared concussion protocol.

Ward clearing concussion protocol with more than a week to go before the start of the season is a good sign for his Week 1 availability. The Browns’ CB1 earned a PFF coverage grade of 69.8 last season, allowing opposing receivers to go for 34-467-3 on 66 targets. Ward will have his work cut out for him out of the gate, as he’s expected to see a lot of CeeDee Lamb in the season-opener.
Jack Conklin

CLE Tackle #78

Browns OT Jack Conklin returned to practice Thursday.

Conklin is back on the practice field after being activated from the PUP list earlier in the week. If he doesn’t suffer any setbacks between now and then, he’ll have a good chance of suiting up for Week 1’s matchup against the Cowboys. Teams will release their first official injury reports next week, which should give us a better sense of his availability, but that Conklin avoiding being placed on injured reserve to start the season is a good sign.
D'Onta Foreman

CLE Running Back #27

Browns re-signed RB D’Onta Foreman.

Foreman was part of the initial cutdown, but his release was thought to be a procedural move while the Browns figure out what to do elsewhere with their roster. His re-signing, which was first reported by Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz, follows the release of Tyler Huntley, who is now free to sign with any team after a strong preseason. Foreman will combine with Pierre Strong to back up Jerome Ford while Nick Chubb (knee) continues to rehab from last year’s season-ending injury. He’s an interesting stash for the time being but doesn’t have any stand-alone upside.
Deshaun Watson

CLE Quarterback #4

ESPN’s Field Yates reports the Browns restructured Deshaun Watson’s contract.

According to Yates, the Browns converted $44.79 million of Watson’s 2024 base salary into a signing bonus, which created $35.832 million in cap space. Yates also adds that the Browns now have over $62 million in cap space available to them — the most of any team in the league. Watson is just days away from making his Week 1 start against the Cowboys. He’s dealt with some arm soreness issues over the last few weeks and missed the preseason finale as a result. He’ll be a player to monitor as he looks to fully bounce back from last year’s season-ending shoulder injury.
