Unused on offense in playoff loss Carlson was active but did not play an offensive snap in Sunday's 22-17 playoff loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Carlson had just one catch, two targets and 11 receiving yards during the regular season, serving as the fourth tight end. With the top three tight ends for the Browns under contract for 2021, he'll play a similar role should Cleveland bring him back. He becomes an exclusive rights free agent during the offseason.

Gearing up Sunday Carlson (groin) will play in Sunday's AFC divisional round against the Chiefs.

Impact Austin Hooper, Harrison Bryant and David Njoku are all healthy for Sunday's playoff game, so Carlson will mainly contribute on special teams.

Questionable for Sunday Carlson (groin) did not practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's AFC divisional-round game against the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Carlson appears truly iffy for Sunday's game, but his presence likely won't impact Cleveland's offense one way or another. He saw just two targets through 16 regular-season games in 2020, and both Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant are set for Sunday while No.3 tight end David Njoku (hamstring) is questionable.

Moves up depth chart Carlson is expected to receive more playing time with David Njoku (knee) on injured reserve, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Carlson played just 12 snaps (16 percent) and had one target in the season-opening loss to the Ravens but moved up to third on the depth chart behind Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant. He broadly fits into the category of blocking tight end, but quarterback Baker Mayfield uses tight ends as red-zone scoring options. Carlson caught five of seven targets with one touchdown in 2019.
