Bowe (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

While we wouldn't necessarily overreact to Bowe being listed as a third-string wideout on the most recent version of the Browns' depth chart, that he's listed that way, as well as being banged up, does not inspire a great amount of optimism with regard to his Week 1 fantasy prospects. For now, anyway, Brian Hartline and Andrew Hawkins are listed as the team's starters at wide receiver.

Bowe (hamstring) is not listed as a starter on the Browns' Week 1 depth chart, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowe was plagued by injury and ineffectiveness during training camp, and his standing on the Browns' initial depth chart for the regular season reflects that. Bowe could potentially move into the starting lineup when he proves he is healthy, but Brian Hartline and Andrew Hawkins are listed as the Browns' starting receivers for Week 1.

Browns head coach Mike Pettine said Bowe (hamstring) will not be released, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowe started and played into the second half of Thursday's preseason game against the Bears, finishing with one catch for eight yards on two targets. While this obviously doesn't bode well for his involvement during the upcoming season, it's still quite possible Bowe will be a Week 1 starter. In a move they presumably already regret, the Browns signed him to a two-year, $13 million contract, including $9 million guaranteed, during the offseason.

Bowe (hamstring) will start Thursday's preseason finale at Chicago, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rumors swirled prior to the game that Bowe needs to impress to emerge from the final round of cuts with a spot on the Browns' 53-man roster, according to Anthony Lima of cleveland.cbslocal.com. In his only preseason appearance Saturday, Bowe failed to gather in any of his three targets, meaning he needs to make at least some impression Thursday. Considering he inked a two-year contract with the Browns in the offseason, his failure to make the roster wouldn't bode well for a gig elsewhere down the road.

Anthony Lima of cleveland.cbslocal.com relays via Solomon Wilcots of the Browns radio network that Bowe may need to impress in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears in order to cement his spot on Cleveland's final roster.

EDGE Analysis

While the report is speculative in nature, this is a situation to monitor with final roster cut-downs around the corner and every season bringing at least a handful of surprising roster moves in advance of Week 1. Given that Bowe signed a lucrative two-year deal with the Browns in March, in a move designed to help boost the team's wideout corps, it would still be a surprise to see the team give up on the veteran wideout, but this nugget does add some potential intrigue to Thursday's contest.

Bowe (hamstring) did not catch any of his three targets in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Bowe got the start in his first appearance of the preseason, suggesting that all the missed time at training camp hasn't had much impact on his role. He and Brian Hartline will likely open the season as the starters in two-wide formations, with Andrew Hawkins working as the primary slot man. Taylor Gabriel should also get some snaps as the primary deep threat, and he could eventually push for a starting role.

Bowe (hamstring) will play in Saturday's preseason game against Tampa Bay, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowe, one of the Browns' biggest offseason acquisitions, will make his debut with the team Saturday against the Buccaneers.

Bowe (hamstring) is "gearing up" to play Saturday night against the Buccaneers, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowe has been practicing of late and thus appears on track to see action in the Browns' third preseason contest. Assuming no further injury setbacks, look for Bowe to head a 2015 Cleveland wideout corps that also includes Brian Hartline and slot man Andrew Hawkins.

Bowe (knee) is participating in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Bowe tweaked his knee during an OTA session last week, and while the issue was not considered serious, he missed a few days of practice. Considering Bowe back on the field Thursday, it looks as though he's moved past the injury.

Bowe tweaked his knee during Tuesday's two-hour OTA practice and didn't return to the session, Mary Kat Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Coach Mike Pettine suggested afterward that Bowe's issue isn't anything serious, but the Browns could still keep the receiver out of Thursday's practice just as a safeguard. With Josh Gordon suspended for the entire 2015 season, Bowe, who inked a two-year deal in Mayk, is tentatively slated to serve as the Browns' top receiver.
