Malachi Corley (concussion) is active for Sunday's clash against Chicago.Corley suffered a concussion last Sunday against Tennessee, but he's since been able to clear concussion protocol and is set to suit up Sunday. The second-year wideout has had an inconsistent role in Cleveland's offense, though he had logged a snap share north of 25 percent in each of the four weeks prior to getting hurt.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Questionable for Week 15
Malachi Corley (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.The second-year pro from Western Kentucky sustained a concussion in the Week 14 loss to the Titans, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. Corley has appeared in nine games for the Cleveland Browns this season, catching five of six targets for 34 yards and rushing seven times for 79 yards while operating as one of the team's top kick returners. He must still clear concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 15, and if he's unable to do so, Trayveon Williams will likely serve as one of Cleveland's top kick returners.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Negative impact in loss
Malachi Corley was not targeted, had one carry for nine yards and returned four kickoffs for 73 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.Under the NFL's new kickoff formation, returners typically average more than the 18 yards Corley managed Sunday. Unfortunately, he fielded one kick inches from the sideline and fell out of bounds. Had he allowed the kick to roll out of bounds, the Cleveland Browns' struggling offense would have begun its possession at their own 40-yard line instead of in the shadow of its own goal-line. The Browns' kick returners had a bad day all around while fighting windy conditions, as punt returner Gage Larvadain committed three fumbles and lost one of them.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Minor role in win
Malachi Corley caught his lone target for eight yards, had one carry for minus-6 yards and returned two kickoffs for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.Corley served in a variety roles in the win, continues the usage he's seen three times in the last four games. He accumulated 13 snaps on offense, and his 25 percent share Sunday was on par with the previous three weeks. Corley has gained more yards as a runner (68 on five carries) than as a receiver (34 on five receptions), but in the aggregate he offers little fantasy value.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Secures two catches in loss
Malachi Corley caught both of his targets for nine yards and returned three kickoffs for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.Corley, who opened the year on the Cleveland Browns' practice squad, has done a little bit of everything since being added to the active roster in Week 5. His major contributions have come on special teams, where the 2024 third-round pick has emerged as the team's top kick returner. In addition, the former Jet has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and carried the rock four times for 74 yards. Of note, Corley maintained his spot on the active roster ahead of Jamari Thrash, a 2024 fifth-round draft pick of the Browns, who was a healthy inactive Sunday to clear a spot for Isaiah Bond.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Afforded one target in loss
Malachi Corley failed to catch his lone target, had two carries for 32 yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10.Cleveland's passing attack under rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel isn't strong enough to support fringe receivers like Corley. Cedric Tillman's return from injury also impacted the depth wideouts Sunday and Corley's 20 snaps were in line with Jamari Thrash (22) and Gage Larvadain (18). Corley has been effective as a runner however, ripping off two 16-yard gains Sunday while averaging 18.5 yards over four carries this season.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Responsible for longest play
Malachi Corley was not targeted, had one carry for 31 yards and returned five kickoffs for 112 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 8.Corley was on the field for just four offensive snaps, but his 31-yard end around on the team's first possession immediately preceded Cleveland's first touchdown. It was club's longest play from scrimmage. He also took over the kick-return duties, which have been a revolving door since DeAndre Carter (knee) landed on injured reserve. The 32-year-old Carter is eligible to return following the team's Week 9 bye, but the 2-6 Cleveland Browns would be better served by getting a look at their rookies and younger players.
