The Cleveland Browns are finding themselves in a position to make some extremely tough decisions in their wide receiver room. Undrafted player and USFL standout Austin Watkins continues to make statement after statement, including a dominant performance against the Philadelphia Eagles where he racked up 139 yards and a touchdown on seven catches.
With Watkins making it difficult to attempt to cut him and hope he clears waivers to stash on the practice squad, how does this shake up the rest of the wide receiver room? The Browns have historically rostered four running backs, and in a year where they are struggling to find three to fit on the field, that seems unlikely to happen again. This could leave the door open for seven wide receivers to be rostered in 2023.
