Gets chance as returner Harley caught three of seven targets for 30 yards and returned one kickoff for 19 yards in Sunday's preseason game against the Eagles.
Impact It was a showcase day for Harley, who was on the field for 61 of Cleveland's 74 snaps and the latest to audition for the vacant return job. He lined up as a punt returner but did not get an opportunity to return one. Since Jakeem Grant went down with an Achilles injury, Ja'Marcus Bradley and now Harley have been given chances to return kicks and punts during preseason action. Others in camp that could pick up a return role are Demetric Felton and Donovan Peoples-Jones. As for Harley's chances at wideout, the undrafted free agent out the University of Miami is a long shot and more likely headed for the practice squad.

Injury creates opporutnity Harley's path to a roster spot improved after Jakeem Grant suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact In addition to Grant's injury, which is feared to be a torn Achilles, sixth-round draft pick Michael Woods will miss time due to a hamstring injury, creating reps and opportunities for receivers like Harley further down the depth chart. Harley is a speedy undrafted free agent out Miami that has kickoff-return experience with the Hurricanes. That might be useful for the Browns who were relying on Grant to be the club's primary returner of kickoffs and punts. If the Browns choose to be cautious with their wideouts in Friday's preseason opener against Jacksonville, Harley should get ample snaps to improve his status.

Inks deal with Cleveland The Browns signed Harley as an undrafted free agent Friday.
