Mon 11/20/23 8:08 AM

Proche did not play on offense and had three punt returns for 37 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Proche, who is operating as the No. 5 wideout while Marquise Goodwin (concussion) is unavailable, has taken hold as the primary punt returner. He had a long return of 21 yards that put Cleveland's offense in business on the Pittsburgh side of the field in the third quarter, but an interception ended that threat. In three games on the active roster, Proche has one target and 10 punt returns for 92 yards.

Proche did not catch his lone target and returned one punt for zero yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
He was in the lineup for a second straight week as the Browns were without Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee), but Proche was on the field for just three offensive snaps. Sunday's target was his first of the season.

Cleveland signed Proche from its practice squad to its active roster Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Proche played just six offensive snaps in his 2023 debut Sunday versus Arizona, but the Browns evidently saw enough of him as a punt returner (six returns, 55 yards) to bring him up on a full-time basis ahead of Week 10. In 2022 with Baltimore, Proche turned 17 targets into eight receptions for 62 yards.

Proche reverted to the Browns practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
With David Bell (knee) inactive and Marquise Goodwin (concussion) exiting in the third quarter, Proche was the fourth receiving option for nearly half the game. He ultimately only saw six offensive snaps (eight percent), while also returning six punts for 55 yards on 10 special teams snaps (45 percent). He will again be a candidate to be promoted to the active roster in Week 10 versus the Ravens.

Proche was not targeted and returned six punts for 55 yards in Sunday's 27-0 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Proche, who was promoted to the active roster after being signed to the practice squad earlier in the week, had six snaps on offense. The Browns earlier in the week traded away their primary punt returner, Donovan Peoples-Jones, which opened up a role for Proche on special teams. However, David Bell (knee) could also compete for the top return job once he's healthy.

The Browns elevated Proche to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-year wideout has yet to appear in an NFL game this year, but he signed with Cleveland's practice squad earlier in the week and has been promoted ahead of Sunday's contest. Proche spent the last three seasons with Baltimore, recording 278 yards on 25 receptions.

The Browns signed Proche to their practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Proche was cut by the Ravens at the end of training camp ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. He had workouts with the Jets and Giants in September, but has finally caught on with the Browns' practice squad. Proche will work on getting up to speed with the offense's playbook and prepare for a chance to be called up to the active roster.

Proche had a tryout with the Giants on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Proche was unable to secure a spot on the Ravens' roster during camp, but this was his second workout for a team since his departure Aug. 29, having previously worked out for the Jets on Wednesday. It's unclear if the Giants are interested in Proche for his receiving or return ability, or possibly both, but the team sustained no injuries to its receiving corps in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

Proche participated in a workout with the Jets on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Proche was waived by the Ravens after putting up just four catches for 34 yards in three preseason games while nursing a hip injury. He didn't show much production in three years with Baltimore but is hoping that a change of scenery can help turn things around.

The Ravens waived Proche (hip) on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Proche mustered just four catches for 34 yards and fumbled the ball once in three preseason games. He hasn't had that much impact since being drafted by the Ravens in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft and he'll look to prove himself elsewhere once he clears waivers.
