Will Cedric Tillman play today? Injury updates for Browns WR

Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman is dealing with a head injury. Here are the latest updates.

As the Cleveland Browns take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15, wide receiver Cedric Tillman has still yet to clear the concussion protocol. He will miss his third straight game.

Quarterback Jameis Winston will once again have to rely heavily on wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore to get the job done. Tight end David Njoku is also listed as questionable in this Week 15 showdown, so the job gets tougher for Winston and the Browns.

Let’s turn the page back to Tillman, however. So what is the latest on the Browns’ wideout? We’ve got you covered.

Cedric Tillman injury update

Picking up a key third down conversion against the Steelers in the Week 12 win, Tillman took a shot to the head. He was immediately ushered to the sideline. In the protocol longer than most, Tillman has still yet to clear the concussion cadence.

Tillman, however, did return to practice this week, getting one step closer to clearing the concussion protocol and returning to the field with now just three games left in the Browns’ abysmal 2024 season.

How long will Cedric Tillman be out?

There is a hope that Tillman can make his return next week as the Browns take on the Cincinnati Bengals on the road. Sitting at 3-10 on the season, getting the chance to evaluate young players on the field, like Tillman, is crucial for the Browns.

Jeudy sits just 56 yards off of 1,000 yards this season for the Browns, and with Tillman and potentially Njoku out, he will certainly see the targets to make that happen against the Chiefs. He currently sits fifth in the NFL in receiving yards this season.

Elijah Moore also hopes to keep up his positive trend since Jameis Winston took over as quarterback. The likes of rookie receiver Jamari Thrash, as well as 2022 fifth round pick Mike Woods II round out the Browns’ wide receiver room after waiving former first round pick Kadarius Toney this week.

Chiefs vs. Browns: 15 players listed on Cleveland’s latest injury report

The Cleveland #Browns had 15 players listed on their final injury report heading into Week 15.

The Cleveland Browns will need every advantage they can get to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15, but even before kickoff at Noon CST, their lengthy injury report could prove too much to overcome.

While the Chiefs have suffered some key injuries themselves, the Browns had no less than 15 players on the mend this week, which could test Cleveland’s depth this afternoon.

The Browns are expected to be without dynamic wide receiver Cedric Tillman and Cleveland’s star tight end David Njoku is listed as questionable.

Should both players be held out of the game due to their injuries, the Browns would be without two of their top receivers.

Take a look at this table of the complete injury reports from Cleveland and Kansas City, which was shared on Twitter by Chiefs team reporter Matt McMullen:

Though the Browns were always going to be underdogs heading into today’s game, the sheer number of injuries that Cleveland reported this week could point to a potential blowout on the road for the 12-1 Chiefs.

Browns expecting boost to WR room vs. Chiefs

Cedric Tillman is one step closer to clearing the concussion protocol

The Cleveland Browns may be getting a big boost back to their wide receiver room as Cedric Tillman is expected to play against the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to Fred Greetham of the OBR, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski expects Tillman to return to practice on Wednesday. Tillman has missed the last two games while in concussion protocol after exiting Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 2023 third-round pick had a strong stretch of games before the injury, recording at least six receptions and 75 yards in each contest from Week 7 to Week 9. While receivers Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore have thrived with the increased passing volume under Jameis Winston, Tillman was also productive early in the team’s transition to Winston at quarterback.

These final four games will play a significant role in determining roles for next season. A larger sample size will give the Browns a better understanding of how Tillman and others fit into their long-term plans. Although the offense has been more volatile with Winston, their increased ability to move the ball creates opportunities for Tillman and others to showcase their abilities.

As the Cleveland Browns take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, they will have to do so without second-year wide receiver Cedric Tillman.

How long will Cedric Tillman be out?

There is no timetable for Tillman’s return, as he will return as soon as he clears the concussion protocol. Head coach Kevin Stefanski stated there was a chance Tillman could play this week, but that did not come to fruition.

Jeudy, coming off of a record-setting performance against the Denver Broncos will be relied on heavily again. On his way to his first career 1,000-yard season, the Browns need another big performance from him in this one.

Moore also hopes to keep up his positive trend since Jameis Winston took over as quarterback. He is coming off a 100-yard performance against the Broncos.

The Browns also signed wide receivers Mike Woods II and Kadarius Toney to the active roster off of their practice squad.

Steelers vs Browns injury updates: Cleveland minus 2 starters on Sunday

Alex Highsmith will face a backup offensive tackle on Sunday.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns square off, the Steelers are going to be as healthy as any team could expect this late in the season. On the other side, the Browns will be down two starters on offense.

According to the Browns game status report, starting wide receiver Cedric Tillman is out with a concussion and will be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Mike Woods II.

The Browns will also be minus starting offensive tackle Jedrick Willis. This means Germain Ifedi will get his third straight start. This could be great news for the Steelers with the return of Alex Highsmith.

Cleveland will also be without defensive linemen Mo Hurts Jr. and Sam Kamara. For the Steelers, defensive tackle Montravius Adams is out despite practicing all week. Wide receiver George Pickens popped up on the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable after being limited on Friday with a hamstring injury.

Browns give update on status of Cedric Tillman vs. Steelers

Cedric Tillman could get back on the field this week

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski took the podium heading into their Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. People were eager to know the status of wide receiver Cedric Tillman, who was forced to miss the Browns’ last exciting game with a concussion.

When asked if Tillman was expected to practice and possibly play this weekend, Stefanski said: “I’d say there’s a chance, yes.” Tillman has been in the concussion protocol ever since taking a nasty hit on Thursday night football.

Pittsburgh linebacker Patrick Queen attempted to tackle Tillman during this victory when he delivered a concussion suffering hit. The Browns promising pass catcher was forced to miss Cleveland’s last matchup due to his injury.

He is currently fourth on the Browns in receiving yards but has benefited greatly from Jameis Winston‘s arrival. In his last five active games, Tillman is averaging 66 receiving yards per game. Which is a tremendous improvement from his first half of the season. 

Before he plays, we’ll first have to see him hit the practice field in the limited opportunities that he has left to do so. For more information on injury updates, team transactions, and additional details, please visit The Browns Wire.

As the Cleveland Browns take on the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football tonight, they will have to do so without second-year wide receiver Cedric Tillman.

An ascending player for the Browns over the last four weeks, Tillman will have to wait at least another week to get back on the field, even with 10 days off since their previous game. In the Thursday Night Football win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tillman lowered his shoulder to pick up a first down on in a crucial situation. However, he had to be helped from hobbling off the field afterward.

So what is the latest on the Browns’ former third round pick? We’ve got you covered.

With Tillman out, the Browns will continue to rely heavily on wide receiver Jerry Jeudy as he makes his return against the team that drafted him in the first round in 2020. Elijah Moore will continue to see plenty of playing time as well, but rookie wide receiver Jamari Thrash may see extended snaps as a result of the lingering concussion of Tillman.

Cedric Tillman injury vs Steelers: Latest news on Browns WR

Browns WR Cedric Tillman is dealing with a head injury. Here are the latest updates.

Cleveland Browns starting receiver Cedric Tillman left the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tillman went to the medical tent during the waning seconds of the third quarter.

Tillman suffered a head injury from a big hit at the first down marker on a third and medium. Tillman fought through multiple Steelers defenders before getting injured. Tillman was escorted to the medical tent immediately and ushered to the locker room for further evaluation in this game.

Tillman had an up-and-down game against the Steelers. He made a big catch and run with his first target before fumbling the ball deep into the Steelers’ territory. The Browns managed to stop the Steelers offense from scoring on the turnover. Tillman is a good player, and he needs more experience. Hopefully, he can rejoin the team soon enough.

The Cleveland Browns are leading the Pittsburgh Steelers on primetime 18-13.  The Browns must hold off the Steelers for another quarter to give their home crowd a much-needed victory.

Slow game: Cedric Tillman creates fireworks too late vs. Chargers

Moral victories?

It was too little too late, but at least the Cleveland Browns gave the fans at least something to watch at the end as quarterback Jameis Winston connected with wide receiver Cedric Tillman late against the Los Angeles Chargers.

They were probably already looking forward to the 2025 NFL draft anyway.

With under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Winston hit receiver Tillman for an impressive 17-yard touchdown grab. The 12-play, 70-yard drive cut the lead to 27-10 late in the fourth quarter in a game that was all but over.

Winston completed five of seven passes on the scoring drive, including a third-down conversion to tight end Jordan Akins and a 13-yard completion to Tillman earlier in the drive. Running back Pierre Strong Jr. rushed twice for eight yards during the garbage-time drive, with a long rush of seven yards.

The Los Angeles defense was as good as advertised in Week 9, forcing three turnovers and providing lockdown coverage all game long. Cleveland’s run game couldn’t get going, averaging just 3.3 yards per rush against a stout Chargers defense that played in a two-high shell for most of the game.

Tillman was a bright spot on a tough day, finishing with six catches on 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown. The second-year receiver has now had three straight inspiring outings, but the lack of a run game and continued miscommunications in the secondary cost the Browns a chance at a second win in a row.

Key things to know about Chargers’ Week 9 opponent: Browns

Here are some important things to know about the Browns ahead of the Week 9 matchup with the Chargers.

The Chargers are on the road to face the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 2, at 11:00 a.m. PT.

To get you prepped for the Week 9 bout, here are five key things to know about Los Angeles’ opponent ahead of the matchup.

How things are going…

The Browns are 2-6 on the season. Cleveland is coming off a 29-24 win over the Ravens. Before that, they had lost five straight games.

Jameis provides a spark

Deshaun Watson went down with a season-ending Achilles injury, and Winston got the start in Week 8 against the Ravens. The veteran journeyman stepped up in a big way, completing 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. His performance was a much-needed boost for a struggling offense. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Winston will continue to start at quarterback.

Stalled on the ground

The Browns’ rushing offense hasn’t been anything to write home about. Nick Chubb, who suffered a gruesome injury last season, is back in the fold. Slowly working his way back, Chubb has carried the ball 27 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in his two games. Overall, Cleveland is 27th in rushing, averaging only 92.5 yards per carry.

Middle-of-the-pack defense

The Browns rank 18th in points allowed (23.3 ppg), 12th against the pass (200.6 yards per game) and 18th against the run (125.9 ypg). Cleveland could be without a couple of defensive starters. Cornerback Denzel Ward is in concussion protocol. Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is out with a neck injury. Jordan Hicks has been out the last three of four contests with an elbow/triceps injury.

Look out for…

Edge rushers Myles Garrett and Za’Darius Smith. Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt have been lights out this season, and they must continue to play at a high level against two premier pass rushers. Garrett and Smith have 36 and 24 quarterback pressures, respectively.
