The Packers cut Woods from the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Woods joined the Packers' practice squad in early November after being let go with an injury settlement by the Browns in August due to a hand injury. The 25-year-old wideout has not appeared in a regular-season game since Week 17 of the 2024 season as a member of the Browns. He'll look to catch on with a team in need of pass catching depth, likely as a member of the practice squad.

The Packers signed Woods to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was last with the Browns for a short period during training camp but was ultimately waived from injured reserve. He has 12 career receptions across 17 games since entering the NFL in 2022, but he faces a long path to consistently being on the active roster in Green Bay.

Woods (hand) worked out for the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woods suffered a knee injury at the end of last season and then picked up a hand injury early on in Browns camp this summer. He was eventually let go with an injury settlement last month but appears to be healthy headed into the regular season. Now a free agent, Woods is looking for a new opportunity.

The Browns waived Woods (hand) from injured reserve after the two sides reached an injury settlement, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury settlement allows Woods to play in the upcoming season, which wouldn't have been a possibility had he remained on the Browns' IR. The 2022 sixth-rounder appeared in five regular-season games for the Browns last season and posted seven catches (on 18 targets) for 65 yards. Woods will continue to rehab from his hand injury and explore his next options once he's fully recovered.

Woods (hand) reverted to the Browns' injured reserve list Thursday, per the NFL's transactions log.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was injured in practice last week and was later waived with an injury designation. He'll now be required to miss the entirety of the regular season but could be let go with an injury settlement once healthy. Woods played in five regular-season games for the Browns last season, catching seven passes for 65 scoreless yards.

The Browns waived Woods (hand) with an injury designation Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Woods suffered a hand injury during this past Thursday's training camp practice. He will no longer be a part of the Browns' training camp roster, but if he clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve and be forced to sit for the entire 2025 season unless an injury settlement is reached. Woods spent most of last season on Cleveland's practice squad but did play in the final five games of the regular season, posting seven catches (on 18 targets) for 65 yards.

Woods did not participate in Thursday's practice due to a hand injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Woods will likely be limited to rehab and individual drills until he's progressed enough in his recovery. The 2022 sixth-rounder is competing for a depth spot in the team's wide receiver corps, so he'll look to be available for the Browns' first preseason game against the Panthers on Aug. 8.

Woods (knee) participated in Wednesday's organized team activities, Joshua Gunter of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2022 sixth-round pick from Oklahoma missed the Browns' 2024 season finale due to a knee injury, but his participation during the team's OTAs suggests he's now past the issue. Woods appeared in five games with Cleveland last season, catching seven of his 18 targets for 65 yards across 291 offensive snaps. Now healthy, he's expected to compete for a depth spot in the team's wide receiver room throughout the summer.

Woods (knee) recorded seven catches on 18 targets for 65 yards over five appearances during the 2024 season.
EDGE Analysis
All of Woods' playing time came during a five-week stretch between Weeks 12 and 17, before a knee injury prevented him from suiting up for the season finale. He often served as the third wideout in those contests, though he likely would have fallen further in the pecking order had Cedric Tillman (concussion) and/or David Bell (hip) been available.

Woods (knee) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Woods approached Saturday's contest listed as questionable after being deemed a limited practice participant Tuesday through Thursday. In his absence in Cleveland's season finale, Jamari Thrash, James Proche and Kaden Davis are candidates to see added wideout snaps behind Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore.
