Cedric Tillman - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Unlikely to play Saturday Tillman (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Tillman has been working through an unspecified injury, which has limited him to side work during training camp practices. His last opportunity to see preseason action is Thursday against the Patriots. Tillman is projected to serve in a depth role at wide receiver behind Jerry Jeudy and rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, with Isaiah Bond also in the mix for reps on offense.

Remains sidelined at practice Tillman (undisclosed) did not participate at the Browns practice Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tillman was unable to practice for a second straight day as he continues to nurse an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old is battling for his spot as a top reserve option in the wide receiver room with Cleveland this season, and his status for Saturday's preseason contest against the Bills may now be coming into question.

Non-participant Wednesday Tillman didn't practice Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tillman can ill-afford a lengthy absence, as Jackson adds that the 2023 third-round draft pick could be on the wrong side of the roster bubble for the Browns, who will begin preseason play Saturday against the Bears. Rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston appear to have leapfrogged Tillman in a Browns wide receiver room that also includes Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond.

Impact Tillman was categorized by Jackson as one of the Browns' biggest losers following last weekend's NFL Draft and looks to be a candidate to be traded over the summer. Tillman is headed into the final year of his rookie contract but has shown glimpses of playmaking ability when paired with a quarterback who can push the ball down the field and outside the numbers. He has a career 71-833-5 receiving line on 132 targets across 38 regular-season appearances. Boston is viewed as Cleveland's perimeter wide receiver of the future, according to Jackson.

One reception in win Tillman caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18.

Impact Tillman was responsible for the Browns' longest play for the second consecutive week. Five of his last eight receptions were good for more than 20 yards. Unfortunately for Tillman, Cleveland's quarterback situation was a mess all season and limited the third-year receiver's growth following a promising campaign in 2024. He had just five catches over the final seven games this season. Tillman ended the regular season with 21 catches for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The 2023 third-round pick out of Tennessee enters the final year of his rookie contract and should be among the team's top three wideouts next year, but his fantasy value depends on expected organizational changes during the offseason.

Sets up lone TD in win Tillman caught his lone target for 42 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Impact Tillman's lone contribution to the win made an impact on Cleveland's lone touchdown drive. He dug the Browns out from deep in their own territory and set up Harold Fannin's (groin) 28-yard touchdown that gave the team a 10-0 lead late in the first quarter. Fannin has been the team's leading target the last few weeks, so the groin injury that forced him to leave Sunday's contest could have implications in the regular season finale next Sunday against the Bengals. If he's held out, then the wide receivers, like Tillman and Jerry Jeudy, could see more passes thrown their way.

Increased playing time in loss Tillman caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16.

Impact Tillman, who had played just seven snaps last week after returning from a concussion, was given 31 snaps Sunday. Unfortunately for the receiver, he was not - and has not been -- a preferred target of quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Over the last five contests, Tillman has three catches on eight targets for 36 yards.

Limited snap count in loss Tillman was not targeted over seven snaps in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Chicago in Week 15.

Impact Tillman battled a concussion and a rib injury during the practice week but was eventually cleared and allowed to suit up. The snap volume indicates he may not have been fully ready to absorb contact. Tillman normally is the No. 2 wideout and snap counts bear that out, but he was on the field less than depth options Malachi Corley (15 snaps) and Gage Larvadain (31),

Set to face Bears Tillman (concussion/ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Tillman didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, but he managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up, which also signifies that he cleared the league's concussion protocol. Tillman has yet to show much rapport with Shedeur Sanders, as he has only two catches for 28 yards across the three games that Sanders has started.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Tillman (concussion/ribs) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Tillman is managing a rib injury and will also need to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be eligible to play Sunday. Isaiah Bond will stand to benefit from increased opportunities in the receiving game if Tillman ultimately remains sidelined Week 15.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined at practice Tillman (concussion/ribs) is not in line to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tillman is missing a second consecutive practice while nursing a pair of injury sustained during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14. He'll have one more chance to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago, but at this stage Tillman appears to be trending in the wrong direction. He'll need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol before returning to the Browns' starting lineup.
