INJURIES

Could be third wideout Week 5 Peoples-Jones may get another shot at filling in as the third wideout in Week 5's matchup against the Colts, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Peoples-Jones, who was active last week to fill in at returner for the injured JoJo Natson (knee), played an unlikely 33 snaps on offense after KhaDarel Hodge suffered a hamstring injury during pre-game warmups. With Rashard Higgins inactive, it was up to the rookie to play in three-wide sets. He was not targeted, but Pro Football Focus gave Peoples-Jones a a 78.9 run-blocking grade, which is the major job for a third wideout in Cleveland's run-heavy attack. Hodge was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, so the Browns will need either Peoples-Jones or Higgins to fill in at third wide receiver the next three weeks at least.

Makes NFL debut Peoples-Jones returned three kickoffs for 73 yards and one punt for 13 yards in Sunday's 49-38 win over Dallas.
Impact Peoples-Jones made his NFL debut after being inactive the first three weeks. With JoJo Natson (knee) sidelined, Peoples-Jones took on the role as the team's top returner, but he was also needed on offense. He played 33 snaps (zero targets) and filled in for third wideout KhaDarel Hodge, who injured his groin during pre-game warmups. Natson's injury is season-ending, so the rookie Peoples-Jones could be a regular on the gameday roster for the rest of the season.
OCTOBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Will debut against Cowboys Peoples-Jones finds himself on the active roster for the first time this season in advance of the Week 4 matchup against Dallas.
Impact Peoples-Jones saw reps all over the field during his days at Michigan, including in the return game, where he's most likely to be utilized moving forward. With JoJo Natson suffering a torn ACL that will cause him to miss the rest of the season, the door is open for Peoples-Jones to secure a role on special teams, though snaps on offense are expected to be sparse in the short term.
OCTOBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Likely active Week 4 Peoples-Jones is likely to be active for the Week 4 game against Dallas, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Peoples-Jones has been inactive the first three weeks, but JoJo Natson (knee, IR) is not available and the Browns need someone to return kicks and punts. Peoples-Jones has experience as a punt returner in college, and he may get a chance to make his NFL debut this week. As for playing wide receiver, he would be no better than fifth on the depth chart for an offense that heavily favors the running game.
OCTOBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Could be active Week 4 Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the promotion of Dontrell Hilliard to the active roster doesn't mean Peoples-Jones will be inactive Week 4 against Dallas, Mary Kay Cabot of...
Impact When JoJo Natson (knee) left last week's win over Washington, the Browns lost their returner on punts and kickoffs, leaving a void for Week 4. Peoples-Jones, who has been inactive the first three weeks, has return experience in college, but it's not yet known if he'll be given a chance to make his NFL debut this week against the Cowboys. D'Ernest Johnson filled in during the game last week, and the promotion of Hilliard gives them another veteran returner.
OCTOBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Could benefit from Natson injury Peoples-Jones could be on the active roster for Week 4 against the Cowboys, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact The Browns lost their primary returner, JoJo Natson, to a Week 3 knee injury that was diagnosed as a torn ACL. Peoples-Jones, who has been inactive through the first three games, returned 89 punts during three seasons at the University of Michigan for an 8.3 average and two touchdowns. The Browns gave him reps in the return game during training camp. Head coach Kevin Stefanski would not commit to having the rookie make his debut this week and mentioned multiple candidates to replace Natson on special teams.

Healthy scratch again Peoples-Jones (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Thursday's contest against the Bengals, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Impact The rookie sixth-round pick will require more time to develop before the Browns trust him to handle a role on offense, but he could eventually earn a chance to play in the return game.

Healthy scratch Week 1 Peoples-Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for the Week 1 contest against Baltimore.
Impact Peoples-Jones wasn't expected to see much time on the field as a wide receiver out of the gates, but there was still a chance he could be used in the return game, similar to his role in college. He'll instead end up a healthy scratch, presumably leaving JoJo Natson in line to take on the bulk of return duties.

Back at practice Peoples-Jones practiced Friday after leaving Thursday's practice early with an undisclosed issue, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact The Browns downplayed Peoples-Jones leaving practice early and did not list him on the post-practice media notes as being injured. The rookie wideout is expected to earn a roster spot but may not play a large role unless he wins a job as a returner.
AUGUST 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Leaves practice early Peoples-Jones left Thursday's practice early accompanied by trainers, Mary Kay Cabot and Joshua Gunter of the Cleveland Plain Dealer report.
Impact Peoples-Jones had flashed earlier in practice when he caught a 65-yard touchdown pass from Case Keenum. He somersaulted into the end zone when shoved from behind by cornerback Robert Jackson and left the field shortly thereafter. The Browns did not list an injury to the receiver on their post-practice media notes, and he is believed to be fine.
