DEMETRIC FELTON NEWS

Waived by Indianapolis The Colts waived Felton on Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

Impact Felton joined the Colts on Aug. 12 and played in the final two preseason games, during which he accumulated 57 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries. The 2021 sixth-round pick could be invited back to the Colts' practice squad, or he could explore other options assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Claimed by Indianapolis The Colts claimed Felton off waivers Monday.

Impact Felton was waived by the Bears on Sunday after he rushed for minus-one yard on one carry in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills. It didn't take long for the 2021 sixth-rounder to catch on with another team, and Felton will look to earn a spot on the Colts' 53-man roster as a depth running back. Indianapolis waived/injured Trent Pennix (groin) to make room on the training camp roster for Felton.

Let go by Chicago The Bears waived Felton on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The move makes room for the addition of Jaylon Hutchings. Felton joined the Bears on July 28 after spending all of 2023 on the Bengals' practice squad. The 2021 sixth-round pick rushed for minus-one yard on his only carry in Saturday's 33-6 preseason win over the Bills. Felton will look to catch on with another team in need of running back depth should he clear waivers.

Headed to Windy City The Bears signed Felton to a contract Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Felton spent 2023 as a member of the Bengals' practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. After being selected by the Browns in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Felton played in 24 regular-season games for Cleveland over the next two seasons. He has accrued just 20 rushing yards and 189 receiving yards in his NFL career, and he will compete with Travis Homer and Ian Wheeler for the fourth spot on the Bears' running back depth chart.

Healthy scratch Week 16 Felton (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Saturday's game against the Saints.

Impact Felton helped fill in for the Browns' injury-depleted receiving corps the past three games. However, the 24-year-old will now be ruled a healthy scratch for the fourth time in seven weeks, as wideouts Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, David Bell and Michael Woods are all set to play Saturday.

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

One touch in win Felton caught his lone target for five yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over Baltimore.

Impact Felton was part of the crew stepping up in the absence of David Bell (thumb) and Anthony Schwartz (concussion), but he played only four snaps. Most of the available third-wideout playing time went to Michael Woods (41 snaps) with Daylen Baldwin (12) behind him. The reception was just the second on the season for Felton.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in for injured Bell Felton did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Texans in Week 13.

Impact Felton was on the active roster for the first time in four weeks, which turned out to be a prudent decision by head coach Kevin Stefanski. The Browns lost slot receiver David Bell to a hand injury early and used Felton as a fill-in. He played a season-high 36 snaps and is more familiar with the slot than Anthony Schwartz (five snaps). Felton's worked with the wideouts in practice sessions, so Felton knows the routes.

Inactives outnumber actives Felton was inactive for Week 12 against Tampa Bay.

Impact This was the third straight week Felton's been inactive and sixth time in 11 games for the second-year back. He has just two touches and two returns over five games.

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive again Felton was a healthy inactive for Week 11 against Buffalo.

Impact Felton has just two touches on offense and one as a returner this season. The hybrid back has clearly dropped behind Jerome Ford and is used only when injuries hit at wideout or running back. With Ford and Michael Woods healthy, there's no room for Felton.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Week 10 Felton did not suit up for Sunday's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

Impact Felton was a healthy inactive for the fourth time in nine weeks because the Browns welcomed back Jerome Ford from his ankle injury. Drafted as a hybrid back/receiver in 2021, Felton's failed to make an impact during his one-plus seasons in the NFL.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns one kick Felton returned one kickoff for 11 yards and did not play on offense in Monday's 32-13 win over Cincinnati in Week 8.

Impact Felton has bounced around all season. Some weeks he's on the active roster and some weeks he's not. And when Felton has been on the active roster, he's not always the primary kickoff returner. If the Browns trade either Kareem Hunt or D'Ernest Johnson by Tuesday's 4:00 pm ET trade deadline, Felton's chances of playing with the offense improve, but rookie Jerome Ford (ankle) is eligible to return from injured reserve when the Browns next play Week 10 following a bye.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Activated for Week 7 Felton was on the active roster for Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Ravens but played only on special teams in Week 7.

Impact Felton, who was inactive the previous week, played just six snaps and was not a factor in the return game. The lone kickoff returned was by D'Ernest Johnson and Donovan Peoples-Jones handled punt returns.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Sunday Felton (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Felton was also inactive last Sunday, and it appears he has fallen behind Chester Rogers on the punt returner depth chart. He'll work to earn as chance to be active in Week 7 against the Ravens.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Punt returner on depth chart Felton is listed as the primary punt returner on the Browns' unofficial depth chart for Week 5 against the Chargers.

Impact Felton helped replace Jerome Ford (ankle) on kickoff returns Sunday and may get a crack at returning punts this coming weekend. Donovan Peoples-Jones, who returned punts in Week 4, is now listed only as a wide receiver, while D'Ernest Johnson tops the kickoff return depth chart. Felton opened the season as the primary returner for both punts and kickoffs but has since lost both jobs.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Active in Week 4 Felton played four snaps on special teams in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Falcons in Week 4.

Impact Felton returned to the active roster after being held out Week 3 against the Steelers, but the hybrid back did not get on the field for the offense. An in-game development could give Felton a larger role going forward, however. Kickoff returner Jerome Ford sustained an ankle injury on his second return of the day and he was replaced by Felton, although he did not get a chance to return a kick. The punt return role that he held earlier this season was handled by Donovan Peoples-Jones on Sunday.

What Next for Demetric Felton? text

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • 247SPORTS.COM

Won't suit up Thursday Felton (coach's decision) was listed as inactive ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Steelers.

Impact Felton has made little impact outside of his role as a punt returner over the first two games of the season, recording just one catch and one rush in Week 2. In his stead, Chester Rogers will likely handle punt returns after being elevated from Cleveland's practice squad Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Used in all phases Felton had one carry for minus-4 yards, caught his lone target for three yards and returned two punts for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

Impact The rushing attempt was Felton's first of the season, and the target his second. He played 12 snaps on offense and 13 more on special teams. The hybrid back has been active ahead of D'Ernest Johnson for the first two games of the season, mostly due to his versatility as a wideout.
