Randall Telfer: Hanging up cleats
Telfer has elected to retire, per his official Twitter account.
Telfer (undisclosed), who spent each of his two seasons in the league with the Browns, was nearly traded to Kansas City in exchange for linebacker Dadi Nicolas earlier in the offseason. The trade was called off, and the Browns elected to instead waive Telfer. The 26-year-old then failed to pass a physical with the Colts before being let go. The 2016 sixth-rounder having logged five receptions for 40 yards over 30 games over his two NFL seasons.

Randall Telfer: Let go following failed physical
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
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 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.

Randall Telfer: Trade called off, waived instead
The trade that was supposed to send Telfer to Kansas City from Cleveland in exchange for linebacker Dadi Nicolas has been cancelled, and Telfer will be waived by the Browns, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
It's unclear what prevented this trade from happening, and Telfer could still be picked up by the Chiefs. 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 Telfer to the 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
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
Telfer (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the 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: No concussion, dealing with other injury
Telfer does not have a concussion but is dealing with another injury, and coach Hue Jackson said Monday that he thinks the tight end is going to be fine, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
There doesn't appear to be much concern surrounding Telfer's injury, but there is also no report detailing exactly what it is he's dealing with. Expect another update to come once the Browns release their official injury report later this week.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Suffer possible concussion
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 Browns would operate the rest of Sunday's game without a No. 3 tight end should the 25-year-old be unable to return.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Returns to game
Telfer (eye) returned to Sunday's game against the Lions, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Telfer will return to his role as a reserve tight end, and he shouldn't be expected to contribute much outside of run blocking and special teams.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Suffers eye injury
Telfer injured his eye Sunday against the Lions and is questionable to return, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Telfer's main role is as a run blocker for the Browns, so he shouldn't be considered for fantasy lineups. However, that leaves just David Njoku and Seth DeValve to pick up the tight end duties until Telfer can return.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Avoids injury designation
Telfer (knee) will not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.
Telfer progressed from not practicing Wednesday to being a full participant Friday, so he should be ready to go for Week 5. The 25-year-old serves mostly as a run blocker, as his two receptions for 25 yards on the season attest. Consequently, he doesn't warrant fantasy consideration at this point, especially with David Njoku and Seth DeValve currently healthy.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Sits out Wednesday's practice
Telfer (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Telfer was able to suit up against the Bengals on Sunday, so this may just be a precautionary measure to ensure he can suit up against the Jets in Week 5. Regardless, he hasn't logged over 20 offensive snaps in a game yet this season, so his fantasy value is minimal.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Gets in limited practice Thursday
Telfer (knee) participated in practice Thursday on a limited basis.
Though he was apparently held out of certain drills, Telfer's limited involvement in Thursday's session is a step in the right direction after he failed to take part in any portion of Wednesday's practice. The Browns continue to list Telfer atop their depth chart at tight end, but most of his responsibilities come as a run blocker, leaving Seth DeValve and David Njoku to act as the primary pass-catching options at the position. Telfer has been targeted just twice in the Browns' four games and hasn't played more than 19 snaps in any of those contests.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Suiting up Sunday
Telfer (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Telfer is taking the field despite logging just two limited practices on the week, but he's expected to serve as the third tight end on the Cleveland depth chart. Through three weeks of play, Telfer has been targeted just twice, and has yet to see more than 19 offensive snaps in a single game.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Questionable for Week 4
Telfer (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
With just two catches for 24 yards over the course of his first three games to date, Telfer does not merit fantasy lineup consideration. Meanwhile, fellow tight ends Seth DeValve (eight catches for 132 yards) and David Njoku (seven catches for 59 yards and two TDs) have carved out a degree of early-season utility in deeper formats.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Returns to practice Thursday
Telfer (knee) was limited in practice Thursday.
A day after getting some cardio work in on the stationary bike, Telfer returned to practice in a limited fashion. His participation Friday should paint a clearer picture on his status for Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals.

Browns' Randall Telfer: Rides stationary bike Wednesday
Telfer was absent from Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
It's uncertain if Telfer picked up the injury in last Sunday's loss to the Colts, but the fact that he was able to get in some cardio work suggests that the Browns may have just been giving him a maintenance day. Telfer is listed atop the Browns' depth chart in tight end, but he mostly acts as a blocker when on the field and has a lower fantasy ceiling than rookie David Njoku and Seth DeValve, who have both seen more targets in the passing game this season.

Browns' Randall Telfer: No targets in Week 1
Telfer didn't see any passes thrown his way during Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh.
Telfer is listed as the starting tight end on Cleveland's depth chart, but seeing as how he was on the field for just 18 offensive snaps and failed to have any balls thrown in his direction, that likely isn't accurate. He's more of a run-blocking tight end than an offensive threat and should be avoided in all types of leagues.
