  • Browns' Michael Woods: Two grabs in loss

    Woods caught two of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City in Week 15.

    Woods was once again elevated to No. 3 wideout as Cedric Tillman (concussion) was inactive, and he played 100 percent of the offensive snaps. All that activity didn't translate into meaningful production for Woods, who's been targeted 11 times (once in the red zone) in three weeks as Tillman's replacement. The Browns benched starting quarterback Jameis Winston and may have Dorian Thompson-Robinson start the final three weeks, which could alter the target distribution beginning in Week 16 at Cincinnati.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Expected third WR Sunday

    Woods should maintain his role as the third wide receiver Sunday against the Chiefs, as Cedric Tillman has been ruled out.

    Woods has eight targets and played 81.6 percent of the offensive snaps over the last two weeks while filling in for Tillman. Prior to his concussion, Tillman generated 44 targets and three touchdowns over five games, so the third wide receiver carries potential in a Jameis Winston-led offense. Cleveland hopes to use a more balanced run/pass ratio Sunday and minimize the opportunities for the Chiefs' offense; however, the Browns often play from behind and Winston has averaged 43.2 attempts per game over the last six weeks.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Fills in as third wideout

    Woods caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 14.

    He was elevated to the active roster for a second consecutive game, as Cedric Tillman (concussion) was inactive once again. Woods' 63 snaps were third among all pass-catchers, behind only Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku. Woods has four catches on eight targets for 55 yards in his two appearances.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Signed to active roster

    The Browns signed Woods from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Woods was elevated to the Browns' active roster for Week 13 against the Broncos, and he finished with three catches (on five targets) for 45 yards while playing 64 snaps on offense. With Cedric Tillman (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Woods will likely be on the field for three-wideout sets alongside Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore.

  • Michael Woods: Back to practice squad

    Woods reverted to the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

    Woods was elevated from the practice squad Monday's 41-32 loss to the Broncos and made his first NFL appearance since Week 17 of the 2022 campaign. With Cedric Tillman (concussion) inactive for the contest, Woods stepped in as the Browns' No. 3 receiver, playing 66 snaps on offense and finishing with three catches (on five targets) for 43 yards. He'll likely be elevated again for this Sunday's game against the Steelers and could once again find himself in a prominent role if Tillman is forced to miss a second straight contest.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Makes season debut

    Woods caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Monday's 41-32 loss to the Broncos.

    Woods was elevated from the practice squad and made his season debut. Filling in for an injured Cedric Tillman (concussion), Woods saw his first action since Week 17 of the 2022 season and finished fourth among Browns pass catchers in targets on a night in which quarterback Jameis Winston attempted 58 passes. He played 66 snaps on offense and was the preferred option three-receiver sets alongside Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore over depth wideouts Jamari Thrash (15 snaps), Kadarius Toney (six) and Jaelon Darden (zero). If Tillman remains sidelined for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Woods will likely be elevated from the practice squad again and could be in store for another sizable snap count.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Elevated Monday

    Woods was elevated to the Browns' active roster Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Oklahoma product was elevated alongside Kadarius Toney to provide depth at wide receiver for Monday night's matchup against the Broncos, with Cedric Tillman (concussion) and David Bell (hip) both sidelined. Woods last saw regular-season NFL action with the Browns in 2022, appearing in 10 games and catching five of his 10 targets for 45 yards over 144 offensive snaps. He's expected to see minimal offensive work and may contribute on special teams in Week 13.

  • Michael Woods: Back with Browns

    Woods signed with Cleveland's practice squad Wednesday.

    Woods finished the preseason on a high note against the Seahawks on Saturday, when he caught five passes (on nine targets) for 53 yards and two touchdowns. It wasn't enough to push him onto the Browns' 53-man roster, but the 2022 sixth-round wideout will stick around in Cleveland on the taxi squad. He last saw NFL action in his rookie season, when he recorded five catches (on 10 targets) for 45 yards across 10 regular-season games.

  • Michael Woods: Fails to make 53-man roster

    The Browns waived Woods on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

    Woods missed all of last season due to a ruptured Achilles he sustained in April 2023. He managed to return for training camp, and he finished the preseason strong with five catches on nine targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns against the Seahawks on Saturday. Despite the good outing, Woods was unable to crack Cleveland's 53-man roster as a depth wide receiver. The 2022 sixth-round pick could return to the team's practice squad if he clears waivers, or he may look for other opportunities elsewhere.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Scores twice in finale

    Woods caught five of nine targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason finale against Seattle.

    Woods, a sixth-round draft pick in 2022, had just two targets during the preseason prior to Saturday's robust activity. Whether there's a roster spot for Woods depends on how many wide receivers the Browns intend to keep and how significant David Bell's quadriceps injury is. If Bell is ready for the regular season opener, that would give Cleveland five likely locks. If they keep a sixth, then it would come down to Woods or Jamari Thrash, the latter of whom is a 2024 fifth-round draft pick that came on over the last two weeks.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Participating in OTAs

    Woods (Achilles) took part in Wednesday's OTA session, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Woods, who had his six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy lifted in January, appears to have bulked up since last season. Additionally, the 2022 sixth-round pick appears to have moved past an Achilles injury that he sustained last April, costing him the entire 2023 season. Now that Woods is back on the field, he'll have an opportunity to compete for a depth role in a Cleveland wideout corps that's led by Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Has suspension lifted

    Woods (Achilles) had his suspension lifted by the NFL on Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Woods was given a six-game suspension in early December for violating the league's personal conduct policy, and he's now served his punishment for the required number of contests. The ban didn't impact his ability to take the field, as the wideout ruptured his Achilles in early April and was consequently ruled out for the season. Woods will look to be healthy enough to participate in training camp this summer.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Gets six-game ban

    Woods (Achilles) was handed a six-game suspension Friday for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    While taking part in an offseason workout with quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) in April, Woods suffered a ruptured Achilles, so he already was out for the season. Now, Woods won't get a paycheck for the final six games of the campaign following the suspension. Considering the timing of the injury, the 2022 sixth-round pick may be healthy by the start of the 2024 offseason program, with five catches (on 10 targets) for 45 yards in 10 career appearances to date.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Shifts to different list

    Woods (Achilles) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.

    Woods was previously on the active/NFI list, but with no chance of returning in 2023 due to a ruptured Achilles, the move makes sense. The 2022 sixth-round selection will continue to focus on his recovery and making a healthy return in 2024.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Placed on active/NFI list

    Woods (Achilles) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Browns on Friday.

    Woods suffered a ruptured Achilles in April while working out with quarterback Deshaun Watson, and he's expected to miss the entirety of the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver will likely transition to injured reserve at some point leading up to the regular season.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Diagnosed with ruptured Achilles

    Woods has been diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles and will likely miss the entire 2023 campaign after undergoing surgery, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Woods suffered the injury during an offseason workout with Deshaun Watson. As a rookie last year, the sixth-round pick caught five of 10 targets for 45 yards across 10 appearances (144 offensive snaps). The injury has little impact on Cleveland's targeting depth chart. The Browns fortified their receiving corps with the additions Elijah Moore, Marquise Goodwin and Jordan Akins.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: May have suffered serious injury

    The Browns are concerned that Woods may have suffered a torn Achilles during workouts with quarterback Deshaun Watson, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

    Woods, a 2022 sixth-round pick, suited up for 10 games as a rookie and secured five of 10 targets for 45 yards. It would be a brutal turn of events if he's indeed suffered a torn Achilles during early offseason personal workouts, as that would jeopardize his availability for the entire 2023 campaign. It sounds like Cleveland will have an official update on the severity of Woods' injury after further testing Tuesday.

  • Browns' Michael Woods: Catches lone target in finale

    Woods caught his only target for 15 yards in a 28-14 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Woods was a bit player for much of his rookie season, sitting out on several occasions early in the campaign as a healthy inactive before seeing an uptick in playing time down the stretch while David Bell and Anthony Schwartz missed time with injuries. All of the Browns' primary wide receivers are under contract for 2023, so Woods' fantasy outlook may not improve much during his second season. He finished the 2022 season with five catches for 45 yards on 10 targets.
