CLEVELAND BROWNS NEWS

Cedric Tillman - Notches three catches in Week 11 Tillman gathered in three of eight targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-14 loss at New Orleans.

Impact 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. Cleveland has a quick turnaround Thursday against a tough Steelers defense, so Tillman may have his work cut out for him to produce Week 12.

David Njoku - Nine grabs in Sunday's loss Njoku caught all nine of his targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.

Impact The tight end led the Browns in receptions, and Njoku has caught at least five passes in all three games that Jameis Winston has started for Cleveland. He's amassed a 19-171-1 line on 23 targets over that stretch, and the team's closing schedule is a promising one for TE production. Njoku will look to keep rolling in Week 12 against a Steelers defense that just allowed the duo of Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews to combine for six catches and 97 yards against it.

Elijah Moore - Finds end zone in New Orleans Moore caught six of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints,

Impact The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of a 30-yard Jameis Winston TD in the third quarter, giving Moore his first score of the season. In three games with Winston as the Browns' starting QB, Moore has racked up a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, giving him intriguing upside for the rest of 2024. He faces a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Steelers, however.

Jerry Jeudy - Breaks out in Week 11 loss Jeudy caught six of 11 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.

Impact The former Bronco was Jameis Winston's top downfield option, and most of Jeudy's production came on an 89-yard score in the first quarter. It's only the wideout's second TD of the year and his first since Cleveland's season opener, but if Winston -- who threw for 395 yards Sunday -- is regaining the form that saw him lead the league in passing yards in 2019, Jeudy figures to be in line for a big finish to the campaign. The Browns' aerial attack will face a tougher test in Week 12 against the Steelers.

Nick Chubb - Modest numbers again in Week 11 Chubb carried the ball 11 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.

Impact The game didn't get away from the Browns until the fourth quarter, but Chubb still failed to get a big workload, even coming off a bye and facing what has been a vulnerable New Orleans run defense this season. Cleveland may simply no longer view Chubb as a viable bell cow after last year's serious knee injury, so while he should remain at the top of the depth chart ahead of the likes of Jerome Ford, his days of seeing 20-plus touches on a consistent basis may be over. Chubb isn't likely to break out in Week 12 against the Steelers, a team he's only scored two rushing touchdowns against in 10 career meetings.

Jameis Winston - Fires up nearly 400 yards in loss Winston completed 30 of 46 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints. He added eight rushing yards on his only carry.

Impact The veteran quarterback put together his best performance since taking over the Browns' starting job, but it went for naught as the Cleveland run defense couldn't figure out how to stop Taysom Hill. Winston found Jerry Jeudy for an 89-yard catch-and-run late in the first quarter before hitting Elijah Moore for a 30-yard score in the third, and his 395 yards were his highest single-game total since the 2019 season, when he reached 400 yards on three separate occasions en route to the league passing-yards crown. There was some question whether Winston would keep the starting gig after getting picked off three times by the Chargers in Week 9, but there should be no such discussion heading into a Week 12 clash with the Steelers.

Dawand Jones - Done for season Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Jones will be out for the rest of the regular season after fracturing his left ankle during Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints, Daniel...

Impact Jones was carted off the field and had his left leg in an air cast in the second quarter of Sunday's game. Further tests confirmed that Jones fractured his left ankle, and the 2023 fourth-round pick will undergo surgery, per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. With Jones done for the year, Jedrick Wills would figure to start at left tackle if he's able to overcome a knee injury, otherwise Germain Ifedi -- who came in for Jones on Sunday -- would hold that spot.

Dawand Jones - Won't return to Sunday's game Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 11 game against New Orleans, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Jones had to be carted off the field with his left leg in an air cast after he was hurt in the second quarter, so it's not surprising that the offensive tackle has since been ruled out. The Browns have a quick turnaround with a Week 12 contest against Pittsburgh on Thursday Night Football, and Jones' status for that matchup is in considerable doubt. Germain Ifedi is likely to step in as Cleveland's primary left tackle in Jones' absence.

Denzel Ward - Returns to Week 11 game Ward (chest) has returned to Sunday's game against New Orleans, Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Ward exited in the second quarter and subsequently went to the locker room to be evaluated for a chest injury. However, he's since been able to get back into the game. As such, Ward should continue to log a substantial amount of snaps at cornerback.

Dawand Jones - Carted off field Sunday Jones (ankle) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Jones' left leg was put in an air cast and he was carted off the field late in the second quarter of Sunday's game, per Luke. With Jones likely done for the day, Germain Ifedi will take over at left tackle.

Denzel Ward - Exits with chest injury Ward (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Ward suffered the injury while recovering a Taysom Hill fumble in the second quarter, and the former left for the locker room after being evaluated by trainers on the sidelines. While Ward is sidelined, Cameron Mitchell will likely come in at the second corner spot opposite Martin Emerson.

D'Onta Foreman - Sidelined for Week 11 Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Foreman will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game. Nick Chubb will lead the Browns' backfield Sunday while Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong serve as the backups.

Mike Hall Jr. - Placed on IR with knee injury The Browns placed Hall (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hall suffered a knee injury during Thursday's practice, and it's serious enough to warrant a multi-week absence, per Oyefusi. Hall will be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 15 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 15 the earliest he can return.

Jedrick Wills Jr. - Won't play Week 11 Wills (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wills didn't initially have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game, but he will be kept out due to a lingering knee injury, per Oyefusi. Dawand Jones will continue to start at left tackle while Wills is sidelined.

Kadarius Toney - Elevated for Week 11 The Browns elevated Toney from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After failing to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Toney signed with the Browns on the practice squad Sept. 9. The 2021 first-round pick will make his 2024 regular-season debut against the Saints on Sunday, though it's unclear how involved he'll be on offense. Across 13 regular-season games with Kansas City in 2023, Toney registered 27 catches (on 38 targets) for 169 yards and one touchdown.
