The Browns waived Baldwin (hamstring) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin reverted to the Browns' injured reserve list after clearing waivers and was slated to miss the entire 2023 campaign. However, the 2022 UDFA is now free to sign a new contract once he's able to pass a physical. Baldwin is expected to need 6-to-8 weeks to recover following surgery, and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Cleveland would be interested in re-signing the Michigan product when he's back to full strength.

Baldwin (hamstring) reverted to injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin tore a small tendon behind his knee which will require surgery, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The injury typically takes 6-to-8 weeks to recover from, and Cleveland is expected to offer Baldwin an injury settlement, as opposed to keeping him on IR for the remainder of the season, with hopes to then re-sign him, Pelissero adds.

EDGE Analysis

The wide receiver visited the sideline tent in the second quarter and went to the locker room just before halftime. Baldwin spent most of 2022 on the practice squad but caught two passes for 25 yards in his lone game appearance. The second-year player is fighting for a roster spot in 2023.

The Browns signed Baldwin to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin signed with Cleveland in August as an undrafted rookie out of Michigan. The 6-foot-2 receiver was then waived as part of the team's final roster cuts and spent the season on the practice squad, though he was elevated for the Week 15 loss to Buffalo. Baldwin finished his rookie campaign with two receptions for 25 yards, and it appears he showed enough with his limited opportunities to earn a new deal heading into the offseason.

Baldwin reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin spent the first 14 weeks of the season on Cleveland's practice squad before receiving his first game-day activation with David Bell (thumb/toe) and Jaelon Darden (coach's decision) both inactive Saturday against Baltimore. As a result, the practice-squad wideout went on to play 12 offensive snaps behind Donovan Peoples-Jones (51), Amari Cooper (48) and Michael Woods (41), and ahead of Demetric Felton (four). Baldwin also caught both of his targets for 25 yards during this limited playing time. The 23-year-old will now be eligible for two more elevations from the practice squad this season.

Baldwin caught two of two targets for 25 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Ravens in Week 15.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin was elevated from the practice squad when the Browns realized neither David Bell (thumb) nor Anthony Schwartz (concussion) would be unable to suit up. Baldwin (12 snaps) and Michael Woods (41) shared the No. 3 wideout job.

Baldwin was elevated from the Browns' practice squad for Saturday's matchup with the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin will join the Browns' active roster for the first time this season after joining the team's practice unit in August as an undrafted rookie. The wide receiver will likely operate as an extreme depth option behind Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones, among others, in Week 15.

Baldwin was signed to the Browns' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan but subsequently suffered a concussion, which extinguished his already small chance of making the 53-man roster. Now healthy, he'll spend the 2022 season developing and could get elevated to the main roster later in the season if he impresses in practice.
