Tillman (concussion) is not participating in Friday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman hasn't yet progressed to the stage of the concussion protocol that involves returning to practice as a limited participant, which makes him a likely candidate to miss Sunday's divisional matchup against the Steelers. Cleveland's official practice report Friday will reveal whether or not the team has made the decision to rule Tillman out for Week 14, or if he has a chance to work to gain clearance through the weekend. If Tillman can't go, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore will work as Jameis Winston's top wideouts, with Jamari Thrash (shoulder) and practice-squad man Michael Woods competing for No. 3 reps.

Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman was also deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, so he'll likely need to practice in some fashion Friday in addition to receiving clearance from an independent neurologist if he's to have any chance of exiting the concussion protocol and suiting up Sunday against the Steelers. While Tillman was sidelined for this past Monday's loss to the Broncos, practice-squad member Michael Woods (64 snaps, three catches for 43 yards on five targets) stepped in and joined starters Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore (shoulder) as the primary replacement for Tillman in three-receiver sets.

Tillman (concussion) is in line to be listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Browns are holding a walk-through Wednesday, so what Tillman is able to do during Thursday's session will provide more context regarding his chances of playing Sunday against the Steelers. According to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Tillman -- who was inactive in Week 13 -- has "a chance"to play this weekend. In his absence versus the Broncos this past Monday, fellow WRs Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore combined to rack up 27 targets.

Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Broncos, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even with the extra few days, Tillman was unable to clear concussion protocol after suffering the injury in last Thursday's win over the Steelers. Jerry Jeudy absorbed some of the workload in Tillman's absence last week, but slot target Elijah Moore might be tasked with more looks given Denver's star cornerback Patrick Surtain will likely follow Jeudy around most of the evening.

Tillman (concussion) remained a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman has logged back-to-back DNPs, so he's trending toward sitting out Monday against the Broncos after being concussed in last Thursday's 24-19 win over the Steelers. He'll have one more opportunity to take the practice field Saturday, but Tillman would have to log a full practice and gain clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance to exit the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to Monday's game.

Tillman (concussion) was deemed a non-participant in practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman's DNP isn't a surprise, as head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that the wideout is still in concussion protocol. Tillman has an extra day to clear the league's five-step protocol with Cleveland playing against Denver on Monday Night Football, but his status is nonetheless in doubt for that contest. If Tillman can't suit up against the Broncos, Elijah Moore could get more targets and Jamari Thrash could log more snaps on offense.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Tillman remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman suffered a concussion in last Thursday's win over the Steelers, but with the wideout still in the protocol, his status will need to be monitored as Monday's game against the Broncos approaches. More information on where Tillman stands in his recovery will come Thursday, when the Browns post their initial Week 13 injury report. If Tillman isn't cleared to play in Denver, Jamari Thrash and practice squad member Kadarius Toney would be candidate to pick up added snaps behind starting wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore.

Tillman was diagnosed with a concussion during Thursday's 24-19 win over the Steelers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman exited the game late in the third quarter and was evaluated for a head injury. He will have 11 days to clear concussion protocol, as the Browns won't play until Monday night in a Week 13 matchup against the Broncos.

Tillman is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Steelers due to a head injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman took a hard hit late in the third quarter, which was presumably when he suffered the injury. The exact diagnosis is unclear at this time. Prior to his exit, Tillman recorded two receptions on four targets for 28 yards and also lost a fumble.

Tillman gathered in three of eight targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-14 loss at New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to the Browns' Week 10 bye, Tillman surpassed 75 receiving yards in three straight games en route to a cumulative 21-255-3 line on 32 targets. The volume still was there for the second-year receiver as QB Jameis Winston aired it out 46 times, but Jerry Jeudy (6-142-1 on 11 targets), David Njoku (9-81-0 on nine targets) and Elijah Moore (6-66-1 on eight targets) were the main beneficiaries this time around. Cleveland has a quick turnaround Thursday against a tough Steelers defense, so Tillman may have his work cut out for him to produce in Week 12.
