Randall Telfer: Let go following failed physical
Randall Telfer was waived Wednesday by the Colts following a failed physical.After a trade sending Telfer from Cleveland to Kansas City fell through earlier in May, the tight end was waived by the Browns and claimed off waivers by Indianapolis. That transaction will also be nullified, as the Colts evidently concluded that the 25-year-old isn't at full strength. Whether Telfer lands another deal elsewhere or not, he won't be much of a factor in any team's passing game.

Colts' Randall Telfer: Claimed by Colts
Randall Telfer was claimed off waivers Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.After a trade between the Browns and Chiefs fell through last week, Telfer was waived by Cleveland, which allowed the Indianapolis Colts to pick up the 25-year-old tight end. He'll battle for a roster spot throughout the offseason program and into training camp, though even if he does make the team, Telfer likely will be used primarily as a blocker, and that severely limits any potential fantasy value.

The 2015 sixth-round pick is a solid run blocker, but he has just five receptions for 40 yards in 30 career games.

Chiefs' Randall Telfer: Traded to Kansas City
The Browns agreed Wednesday to trade Randall Telfer to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for linebacker Dadi Nicolas, Field Yates of ESPN reports.Telfer was credited with 14 starts for the Browns last season, but he mostly served as an early-down run blocker, as he pulled in just three receptions for 36 yards. Despite the change in scenery, Telfer's role in the passing game should remain minimal on a Chiefs team that already has Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris at tight end. Instead, Telfer's main focus will be clearing out defensive ends and linebackers to open up running space for Kareem Hunt.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Three receptions in 2017
Randall Telfer finished the 2017 season with three catches for 36 yards.Though Telfer was listed as Cleveland's first-string tight end week in and week out, that was never really the case. Seth DeValve and David Njoku dominated the tight end snaps and were heavily involved in the offense, while Telfer was mainly used in run-blocking situations. The 25-year-old has just five receptions in his first two years in the NFL, and doesn't merit any fantasy consideration.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Left off injury report Wednesday
Randall Telfer (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Cleveland Browns' injury report Wednesday.Telfer left Week 13 game against the Chargers with a suspected concussion, but head coach Hue Jackson later indicated the tight end was dealing with a separate injury. Whatever that injury was, it apparently wasn't significant, as Telfer's full practice puts him on track to play Sunday against the Packers. With just two receptions and no red-zone targets through 12 games this season, Telfer functions mostly as a blocker for the Browns.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Suffer possible concussion
Randall Telfer is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers as he is evaluated for a concussion, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.Telfer would need to clear the league-mandated concussion protocol if the concussion is confirmed. The Cleveland Browns would operate the rest of Sunday's game without a No. 3 tight end should the 25-year-old be unable to return.
