Donovan Peoples-Jones - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to fill in for Beckham Peoples-Jones (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, is expected fill the starting spot previously held by Odell Beckham, Ian Rapoport of NFL...

Impact With Beckham headed for waivers, Peoples-Jones has an opportunity to see an expanded role in the coming weeks, assuming he's past the groin issue he suffered during pre-game warmups in Week 7. Fortunately for those considering him in Week 9 lineups, his status will be confirmed before the first wave of games Sunday, with the Browns kicking off at 1:00 ET.

Questionable for Week 9 Peoples-Jones (groin) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact With Odell Beckham slated to be waived, Peoples-Jones' Week 9 status gains added import, as he's in line for an expanded role in the Browns offense once cleared to play. Also currently in the team's wide receiver mix behind Jarvis Landry (knee) are Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz. Fortunately for those considering Peoples-Jones (who was inactive in Week 8) in fantasy lineups this weekend, Cleveland kicks off at 1:00 ET on Sunday.

Remains limited Thursday Peoples-Jones (groin) remained limited at practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Back-to-back limited practices suggest that Peoples-Jones has a decent chance to suit up Sunday against Cincinnati, though he'll likely need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 9 injury designation. If Peoples-Jones is active this weekend, added targets could be available for him, with fellow wideout Odell Beckham (shoulder/personal) trending toward not playing.

Back at practice Peoples-Jones (groin) returned to a limited practice Wednesday.

Impact Peoples-Jones didn't practice at all last week, so his return to work Wednesday, in any capacity, bodes well for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Bengals. If he is able to suit up after being inactive in Week 8, Peoples-Jones could be pressed into an expended role in the Browns' offense, with the status of fellow wideout Odell Beckham (shoulder/personal) cloudy after being excused from practice by the team Wednesday.

News & Notes: Denzel Ward, Donovan Peoples-Jones return to practice The Browns are looking forward to working two key players back into action ahead of Week 9 against the Bengals

NOVEMBER 3, 2021 • CLEVELANDBROWNS.COM

Browns Denzel Ward, Donovan Peoples Jones return to practice Browns get two players back to practice, who missed last week's game.

NOVEMBER 3, 2021 • 247SPORTS.COM

Slated to practice Wednesday Peoples-Jones (groin) will return to practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Peoples-Jones, who injured his groin in pre-game warmups in Week 7 and was unable to play a snap in the Browns' win over the Broncos, was made inactive this past Sunday against the Steelers. His looming return to practice suggests that he could return to action Sunday against the Bengals, and if that's the case, Peoples-Jones could potentially step into an expanded role, with the Week 9 status of fellow wideout Odell Beckham (shoulder/personal) currently unclear.

NOVEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Sunday Peoples-Jones (groin) will not play in the Browns' Week 8 contest with the Steelers on Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Peoples-Jones suffered a groin injury during pregame warmups ahead of the Browns' Week 7 matchup with the Broncos. The receiver has yet to practice in any capacity so far this week and he will now miss his second consecutive game. Expect Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz to play key roles in the Browns' passing game Sunday against the Steelers.

Remains sidelined Thursday Peoples-Jones (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact The report notes that Peoples-Jones was working on a stationary bike Thursday, which suggests that the wideout could potentially practice in some capacity Friday. Still, though Odell Beckham (shoulder) and Jarvis Landry (knee) are on the Browns' Week 8 injury report, they appear to be on track to play Sunday against the Steelers, a context that would limit Peoples-Jones' fantasy prospects in the event that he is able to suit up this weekend.

OCTOBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missing practice Wednesday Peoples-Jones (groin) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Peoples-Jones was listed as active for this past Thursday's game against the Broncos, but didn't play after injuring his groin during pregame warmups. Given that he's not practicing Wednesday, his status for Sunday's game against the Steelers is cloudy. Either way, Peoples-Jones' fantasy utility is tied to the availability of fellow wideouts Jarvis Landry (knee) -- who also won't practice Wednesday - and Odell Beckham (shoulder).

Misses Monday's practice Peoples-Jones (groin) did not practice Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Peoples-Jones was in the active lineup for Week 7 but did not play after injuring the groin during pregame warmups. It's natural for the Browns to ease him into the preparation week for this Sunday's game against the Steelers, and the team should learn more about the receiver's status in the coming days.

Set for MRI on groin injury Peoples-Jones will have an MRI on Friday after suffering a groin injury in pregame warmups before Thursday's win over Denver, The Athletic reports.

Impact Peoples-Jones did not play in the game after he was hurt in warmups. On the same night in which Jarvis Landry (knee) made his first appearance since Week 2 and then left again with a sore knee, and Odell Beckham played with a shoulder issue, the Browns' receiving corps suffered another setback with Peoples-Jones, who combined for 11 targets the prior two games.

Hurts groin pregame Peoples-Jones injured his groin during pregame warmups and is questionable to play Thursday against the Broncos, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact On the same night in which Jarvis Landry (knee) is making his first appearance since Week 2 and Odell Beckham guts out a shoulder issue, the Browns' receiving corps suffered another setback with Peoples-Jones, who combined for 11 targets the past two games. It's unclear if Peoples-Jones will make an appearance, but Beckham, Landry, Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz now are the wide receivers at Case Keenum's disposal Thursday.

NFL Today, Week 6

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • Associated Press

Two TDs in blowout loss Peoples-Jones caught four of five targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact While Odell Beckham led the Browns in catches and targets, it was Peoples-Jones who was the team's big-play threat as he accounted for all of Cleveland's scoring with an 11-yard TD grab with about five minutes left in the first half, before he was on the end of a 57-yard Baker Mayfield hail mary just before halftime. Peoples-Jones had just four catches through the first four games of the season, but he's suddenly erupted for a 9-171-2 line on 11 targets over the last two contests. Given his modest target volume, the second-year receiver could have a tough time being productive again in Week 7 against the Broncos. However, with both Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf/wrist/knee) banged up, the Browns could have to rely on their passing game much more than usual in the short term.
