Brian Hartline: Working out for San Diego
Brian Hartline and James Jones will visit with the Chargers this week, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.With Stevie Johnson (knee) likely to miss at least the first couple games of the regular season, San Diego is looking at veterans to help with depth behind Keenan Allen and Travis Benjamin. The 29-year-old Hartline has probably made a full recovery from the broken collarbone he suffered last season, but the Chargers still want to see him work out before they consider making a move. If signed, Hartline might end up fighting for the fourth or fifth spot on the depth chart, as Dontrelle Inman likely has the inside track to San Diego's No. 3 wideout role while Johnson is sidelined.

Brian Hartline: Released by Browns
Brian Hartline has been released by the Browns, Cleveland.com reports.Hartline's release comes after the Browns added four wide receivers during last month's draft, including first-rounder Corey Coleman, whose development could prove vital for Cleveland's offense this season. At 29 years old, Hartline is coming off 46 catches (on 74 targets) for 523 yards and two touchdowns in his only season with the Browns in 2015. With two 1,000-plus yard campaigns in his career, he could draw interest on the free-agent market.

Browns' Brian Hartline: Practices Thursday
Brian Hartline (collarbone) took part in practice Thursday, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.Hartline was contained to an exercise bike at Tuesday's iteration of drills, but an increase in activity level just two days later is an encouraging sign in his recovery from a season-ending broken collarbone. In a receiving corps populated by the likes of Andrew Hawkins (concussion), Gary Barnidge, and little other established talent, Hartline will have every opportunity to make his mark in 2016.

Browns' Brian Hartline: Not ready to take the field
Brian Hartline (collarbone) worked out on a stationary bike as Tuesday's voluntary workouts opened, the Akron Beacon-Journal reports.Once Hartline re-proves his health, he'll join Taylor Gabriel and Andrew Hawkins atop the Cleveland Browns' wide receiver depth chart. Former QB Terrelle Pryor has a level of pass-catching upside, and it's conceivable that Josh Gordon could factor in down the road, though he remains under suspension. With those variables in mind, there appears to be a solid chance the Browns will bring in some added depth at the wideout position at or around the upcoming NFL Draft.

Browns' Brian Hartline: Improved numbers in 2015 despite injuries
Brian Hartline (collarbone) finished the season with 46 catches for 523 yards and two touchdowns. He finished the season on injured reserve due to a broken collarbone.Hartline spent his first seven professional seasons in Miami, and despite inconsistent quarterback play in Cleveland, he still managed to improve from his 2014 numbers. Although he started out slow, Hartline caught exactly eight passes in three straight weeks following the team's bye. He'll presumably be ready for offseason activities in advance of his age-30 season, where he'll compete for steady snaps out of the slot for the Cleveland Browns.

Browns' Brian Hartline: Placed on IR
Brian Hartline (broken collarbone) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.Following a slow start to his tenure in Cleveland, Hartline finally came on strong over the last five games, catching 34 passes for 373 yards and two touchdowns on 51 targets. He still wasn't too impressive from an efficiency perspective, and the high volume was partially a result of injuries suffered by his teammates. Hartline is under contract through 2016, with more than enough time to make a full recovery before training camp. It's anyone's guess what the Cleveland receiving corps might look like next season.

Browns' Brian Hartline: Will not return Sunday
Brian Hartline will not return to Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Hartline had collected eight catches for 107 yards on what was a team-high 10 targets at the time of his departure. As expected, he saw increased opportunities in the passing game with both Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel inactive due to concussions. Hartline may not be able to add to that stat line, but he surely turned in a satisfactory performance for fantasy owners who took a gamble on the slot receiver. His status, along with that of the rest of the Cleveland receivers, will be worth monitoring throughout the week.

Browns' Brian Hartline: Playing through hip ailment Sunday
Brian Hartline (hip) is active Sunday against the 49ers.Hartline was limited in practice both Thursday and Friday, emerging with a "questionable" tag leading up to the Week 14 matchup. The veteran has been effective of late, catching 16 passes on 23 targets over his last two games. His prospects don't necessarily diminish with Johnny Manziel at the helm, as Hartline saw 19 total targets over his last two games played with Manziel under center. Furthermore, the fact that Taylor Gabriel (concussion) is inactive for the contest may also mean a few extra snaps and targets for the 29-year-old slot receiver.
