Tillman caught one of two targets for three yards in Saturday's 23-10 preseason loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

While he didn't make much of an impact, Tillman got the start for Cleveland and both his targets came on the team's opening drive with Jameis Winston under center. The offseason addition of Jerry Jeudy (leg) pushed Tillman down the depth chart at wide receiver, but the 2023 third-round pick still has a chance to overtake Elijah Moore for the No. 3 spot before the regular season begins.

Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer and Zac Jackson of The Athletic suggest that Tillman (concussion) is a candidate to take a step forward in his second season as a pro.

EDGE Analysis

Per Cabot, the Browns figure to frequently employ Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore in three-receiver sets, but Tillman nonetheless should see his share of opportunities as the season progresses, especially if injuries hit the aforementioned trio. As a rookie, the 2023 third-round pick recorded a 21-224-0 line on 44 targets in 14 regular-season games, but if he's able to carve out steadier playing time in 2024, the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder -- who missed Cleveland's wild-card loss to the Texans with a concussion -- could emerge as a solid complementary option alongside the team's top pass catchers. Also in the mix for snaps in the Browns' WR corps are 2022 third-rounder David Bell and 2024 fifth-rounder Jamari Thrash.

Tillman (concussion) finished the 2023 season with 21 catches for 224 yards on 44 targets and added an eight-yard run.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman dressed in 14 games as a rookie and took on a larger role down the stretch before missing the wild-card round playoff loss to the Texans due to a concussion. He's expected to be healthy by the start of the 2024 season, and while the 2023 third-round draft pick out of Tennessee put up underwhelming numbers in his first NFL campaign, he could benefit from more stability at quarterback in his second season. Five quarterbacks started at least one game for the Browns in 2023: Deshaun Watson (shoulder), Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip), PJ Walker, Joe Flacco and Jeff Driskel.

Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's playoff opener against the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman, who was forced out of the second half of this past Sunday's loss to Cincinnati due to a concussion, thus will target a potential return to action in the divisional round of the postseason, should Cleveland advance. In Tillman's absence, David Bell and/or Marquise Goodwin (knee) are candidates to log added snaps this weekend alongside the team's top wideouts Amari Cooper (heel) and Elijah Moore.

Tillman (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman entered concussion protocol during the second half of Sunday's loss to Cincinnati. If he isn't ready to play in Saturday's wild-card game at Houston, the Browns will look to Marquise Goodwin (knee) and/or David Bell to take snaps alongside regular starting wideouts Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore. The 23-year-old Tillman played more than 60 percent of snaps on offense in each of Cleveland's last 10 games, averaging 2.0 catches for 21.9 yards on 4.1 targets per contest.

Tillman isn't practicing Tuesday due to a concussion, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman recorded three catches for 43 yards on six targets while playing 34 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bengals before he exited in the second half to be evaluated for a concussion. The wideout's absence from practice two days later suggests he's following concussion protocol, putting his status firmly in question for this Saturday's wild-card game in Houston. If Tillman is unable to play, David Bell would likely serve as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Amari Cooper (heel) and Elijah Moore.

Tillman is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman went to the sideline for an evaluation after he took a big shot to the back of his head with just under 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He caught three passes on six targets for 43 yards before exiting Sunday's contest.

Tillman caught one of four targets for eight yards in Thursday's 37-20 win over the Jets in Week 17.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman entered the game expected to take on a larger role with Amari Cooper (heel) inactive, and he took on increased interest after Elijah Moore entered the NFL's concussion protocol during the game. The rookie led the Browns wideouts with 57 snaps (95 percent) and three of his four targets were in the red zone. Cleveland has extra preparation and healing time before the season finale against the Bengals, and either or both Cooper and Moore could be available. With the Browns having qualified for the postseason, that may enter the decision-making process regarding the availability of the injured receivers Week 18.

Tillman caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Texans in Week 16.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman continues to see significant time on the field, playing nearly 80 percent of the offensive snaps in the eight games since Donovan Peoples-Jones was traded. While the rookie wideout has experienced an increased target rate over the last five games, Tillman's routes-run percentage is the lowest among the Browns' regulars.

Tillman caught four of eight targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

The eight targets tied Amari Cooper for second on the Browns and set a new career high for Tillman, but the rookie didn't do much with his opportunities. The 2023 third-round pick has still caught multiple passes in four straight games as his role in the passing game increases, and he'll look to put together a breakout performance in Week 16 against the Texans.
