Tillman (hamstring) caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman was the only Browns wide receiver other than Jerry Jeudy to record a catch in Sunday's loss. Jeudy and tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin all seem to be ahead of Tillman in the pecking order among Cleveland's pass catchers heading into Week 11 against the Ravens, but at least Tillman made it through unscathed in his first game since Week 4. The third-year wideout was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Tillman (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Ahead of being activated from injured reserve Saturday, Tillman logged a week of full practices, which should position him to step back in a key role in the Browns passing game in his first game action since Week 4. His return comes at an opportune time, with Isaiah Bond (foot) inactive, though it remains to be seen what level of volume Tillman will see alongside fellow WR Jerry Jeudy, as tight ends Harold Fannin and David Njoku are both candidates to see plenty of looks from QB Dillon Gabriel on Sunday. In four games played thus far, Tillman has recorded an 11/106/2 receiving line on 20 targets.

Tillman (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman was activated from injured reserve earlier Saturday and is expected to make his return to the lineup after being injured in Week 4. With Tillman back in action and Isaiah Bond (foot) ruled out, Tillman should step right back into an every-down role alongside Jerry Jeudy. Tillman, however, has yet to play a game with Dillon Gabriel under center, making him a risky fantasy bet in what is already one of the league's least-potent passing attacks. The good news for Tillman is the Jets' trade of No. 1 CB Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis earlier in the week.

The Browns activated Tillman (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman was a full participant in practice during Week 10 prep, and while he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, the expectation is that the third-year wide receiver will play, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site. With Isaiah Bond (foot) ruled out, Tillman could see heavy usage in his return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 4 against the Lions.

Tillman (hamstring) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, but he's expected to be activated from injured reserve and suit up, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman has been practicing without limitations, but an official move adding him to the active roster will need to be performed in order for the wide receiver to make his return to game action Sunday. Isaiah Bond (foot) has been ruled out, so Cleveland's wide receiver depth chart consists of Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash, Gage Larvadain and Malachi Corley, pending Tillman's return.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he expects Tillman (hamstring) to be activated off injured reserve and suit up Sunday against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cleveland still has to officially activate Tillman, but all signs point to the wide receiver returning for his first action since Week 4. Tillman's likely to jump right back into a starting role against a Jets defense that traded away top cornerback Sauce Gardner on Tuesday. Fellow Browns wideout Isaiah Bond (foot) is expected to sit out.

Tillman (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said last Monday that Tillman was expected back after the Week 9 bye. A full practice confirms the wideout is on track to make that happen, and he'll likely step back in as a starter for an offense that's gotten just 632 cumulative receiving yards from its wide receivers this season. Poor QB play and an emphasis on the RBs/TEs are part of that, but it's also fair to say that neither Tillman nor Jerry Jeudy has shown the form that contributed to their respective hot streaks last season. Jeudy figures to continue starting anyway, with Tillman more likely to take snaps that have been going to Isaiah Bond (foot) and Jamari Thrash.

The Browns designated Tillman (hamstring) for return to practice Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Now that Tillman has been cleared to practice, the Browns will have 21 days to evaluate him, but if the wideout looks good in workouts this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he'll be activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game at the Jets, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Before landing on IR and missing four games, Tillman had accrued an 11-106-2 line on 20 targets through Cleveland's first four contests.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Tillman (hamstring) is expected to return to action after the team's Week 9 bye, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened,, and he appears on track to retake the field and suit up on the road against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 9 in Week 10. For the time being, however, Tillman remains on IR, where he's been since Week 4 due to a lingering hamstring injury. Across four regular-season appearances to begin the year, Tillman produced a 11-106-2 line on 20 targets.

The Browns placed Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman had generated an 11-106-2 receiving line on 20 targets through the first four weeks of the season before exiting early in this past Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Lions with the hamstring injury. As a result of his move to IR, Tillman will have to miss at least the next four games, making the Browns' Week 10 game against the Jets as his earliest possible return date. While Tillman is out, Isaiah Bond and Jamari Thrash are expected to see added opportunities on offense behind No. 1 wideout Jerry Jeudy.
