CEDRIC TILLMAN NEWS

One catch, one drop in loss Tillman caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants in Week 3.

Impact The ball Tillman didn't catch was costly; he dropped a nicely thrown ball on 4th-and-4, which turned out to the Browns' final play on offense. Tillman had just replaced Amari Cooper, who was shaken up 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.

Impact Tillman, who played 26 snaps for the second straight week, had just two of the 27 targets allotted for wideouts in the win. He's locked in at fourth on the depth chart, which means limited targets beyond the Browns' top three of 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 grab in win Tillman caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over Jacksonville.

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

Impact Tillman served as the fourth wideout, playing 26 snaps, as the Browns leaned heavily on their top three wide receivers. None of the four, which also includes Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore, had a good day, but that was mainly due to an ugly performance by quarterback Deshaun Watson (51.1 QB rating).

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact Tillman dressed in 14 games as a rookie and took on a larger role down the stretch before missing the wild-card round playoff loss to the Texans due to a concussion. He's expected to be healthy by the start of the 2024 season, 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. Five quarterbacks started at least one game for the Browns in 2023: Deshaun Watson (shoulder), Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip), PJ Walker, Joe Flacco and Jeff Driskel.

Won't play Saturday Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's playoff opener against the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Tillman, who was forced out of the second half of this past Sunday's loss to Cincinnati due to a concussion, will thus target a potential return to action in the divisional round of the postseason, should Cleveland advance. In his absence, David Bell and/or Marquise Goodwin (knee) are candidates to log added snaps this weekend alongside the team's top wideouts, Amari Cooper (heel) and Elijah Moore.

Sits out Tuesday's practice Tillman isn't practicing Tuesday due to a concussion, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tillman recorded three catches for 43 yards on six targets while playing 34 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bengals before he exited in the second half to be evaluated for a concussion. The wideout's absence from practice two days later suggests he's following concussion protocol, putting his status firmly in question for this Saturday's wild-card game in Houston. If Tillman is unable to play, David Bell would likely serve as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Amari Cooper (heel) and Elijah Moore.

Snap leader at WR Tillman caught one of four targets for eight yards in Thursday's 37-20 win over the Jets in Week 17.

Impact Tillman entered the game expected to take on a larger role with Amari Cooper (heel) inactive, and he takes on increased interest after Elijah Moore entered the NFL's concussion protocol. The rookie led the Browns wideouts with 57 snaps (95 percent) and three of his four targets were in the red zone. Cleveland has extra preparation and healing time before the season finale against the Bengals, and either or both Cooper and Moore could be available. With the Browns having qualified for the postseason, that may enter the decision-making process regarding the availability of the injured receivers Week 18.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 enough consistency to be anything more than a deep-league dart throw for fantasy purposes. The chemistry the duo showed in the first half Sunday was encouraging, however.
