Reverts to practice squad Natson reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Natson was elevated prior to the Browns' matchup against Baltimore. He's now been active for three of the team's last four games, but he has logged a combined 10 offensive snaps across those contests. However, he did serve a significant role on special teams, recording three punt returns for 15 yards and one kick for 21 yards in the team's Week 14 win.

Back on Browns' roster Natson has been promoted to the Browns' 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Fellow wideout Ja'Marcus Bradley was waived in a corresponding move, so now Natson will be one of four healthy receivers going into Sunday's contest. The other three include Jarvis Landry, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Rashard Higgins. Thus, Natson figures to have some opportunities to see the field.

Back to practice squad Natson reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Natson returned one kickoff for 16 yards and played two offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but he wasn't targeted. The Browns can freely elevate Natson for one more contest this season before having to decide whether to keep him on the active roster.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Minor run on offense Natson did not generate any stats on two offensive snaps and returned one kickoff for 15 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Natson was among the active wide receivers with Anthony Schwartz (concussion) inactive and Rashard Higgins inactive due to a coach's decision. He's settled into kick-return duties with Schwartz sidelined, and it's unclear if he takes up an active roster spot when the rookie becomes available. The Browns are off Week 13 and will resume play the following week against Baltimore.

Elevated for Sunday Natson was elevated from the Browns' practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact The 27-year-old was also elevated to the active roster Week 10 and played seven offensive snaps while also operating as a return man. The 27-year-old should fill a similar role Sunday with Anthony Schwartz (concussion) out and Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) questionable.

Goes back to practice squad Naton has reverted back to the Browns' practice squad, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Natson contributed on kick return duties Sunday against New England, totaling 72 yards on three chances. He'll now go back to the practice squad and try to earn another chance to be activated for game day.

Joins active roster Natson has been elevated to the Browns' active roster, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Natson has spent the season on Cleveland's practice squad and will now get to suit up for the first time. He slots in as the No. 6 wideout, so his most likely area of contribution figures to be on special teams.

Heads back to Cleveland Natson was signed to the Browns' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Natson was beat out for return duties by 2021 sixth-round draft pick Demetric Felton during training camp, but he rejoins the Browns a day after being cut. Cleveland also resigned wideout Ja'Marcus Bradley, giving them two receivers with experience in the system that can step in if Rashard Higgins' leg injury lingers, or if the time rookie Anthony Schwartz missed during preseason with a knee injury stunted his development.

Exits Cleveland Natson was waived by Browns on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Natson was listed as the Browns' primary return man prior to this move, rendering it somewhat surprising. His exit opens up Donovan Peoples-Jones and D'Ernest Johnson to compete for both punt and kick returning opportunities. Natson, who spent the two previous seasons with the Rams, is now set to look for a new landing spot.

Listed as primary returner Natson is listed as the top punt and kick returner on Cleveland's unofficial depth chart heading into preseason Week 1 against Jacksonville on Saturday.

Impact Natson is among a group of players competing for the return job, so nothing is settled yet. Ideally, the Browns would have a returner that fills another role, but Natson is on the outside of the top five at wide receiver. The competition will play out over the preseason.

Knee injury's in rearview mirror Natson worked as a punt returner in Cleveland's first practice Wednesday, showing that he's recovered from his knee injury, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Natson tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2020 season but has regained health. His role on offense has been nearly nonexistent in recent years, so Natson's ticket to a roster spot will be winning the punt returner job on special teams.

Signs deal with Browns Natson (knee) signed a one-year deal with Cleveland on Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Natson played in just three games with the Browns during the 2020 season before suffering a torn ACL in Week 3. The 5-foot-7, 153-pounder hasn't logged a target since 2017, when he caught two receptions for 18 yards with the Jets. With Cleveland's receiving corps crowded, the 27-year-old will likely continue his role as a returner for the team in 2021, assuming a full recovery from his knee injury.

Impact Natson's season is over, and he'll be placed on injured reserve soon. He mainly just contributes as a returner, so Donovan Peoples-Jones and D'Ernest Johnson will likely battle for that role.
