Impacted by wind Larvadain caught two of three targets for 23 yards and returned three punts for three yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers in Week 13.

Impact Sunday's gusty winds in Cleveland challenged both teams, particularly on offense, but it also appeared to impact Larvadain on special teams. He muffed all three of his returns and lost one of them early in the fourth quarter. It led to a San Francisco touchdown that left the Browns needing to make up a two-touchdown deficit, which is a challenge to an offense that isn't structured to score in volumes. Larvadain's two catches Sunday were his first since Week 6, and the rookie now has four catches on nine targets for 45 through eight games.

Impacts win on special teams Larvadain was not targeted and had four punt returns for 81 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12.

Impact Larvadain's greatest impact was the first time he touched the ball, returning a first-quarter punt 44 yards to the Las Vegas 27, setting up Cleveland's first touchdown. Other than the work on special teams, it was another invisible day for the rookie undrafted free agent, who has just one target over the last four games and six in seven contests.

Targeted once in loss Larvadain was unable to secure his lone target in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Impact Larvadain was on the field for just four snaps but was in position to make an impact on his lone target. With just over a minute left in the game, the ball was in Larvadain's hands in the end zone, but Ravens cornerback Chidobe Awuzie ripped it from his grasp. The target was Larvadain's first since Week 7, and his four snaps indicates where he lands on the depth chart.

Limited production in win Larvadain did not catch his lone target and returned one punt for nine yards in Sunday's 31-6 win over Miami.

Impact Larvadain overcame a concussion that made him a limited participant during the preparation week for Sunday's contest. On an encouraging note, he played a season-high 18 snaps and was targeted a second straight week. On a less sanguine note, the lopsided victory, fueled by the defense and turnovers, showed that Cleveland's offense must rely on the ground game, rendering any value for wideouts as miniscule.

Impact Larvadain overcame a concussion that made him a limited participant during the preparation week for Sunday's contest. On an encouraging note, he played a season-high 18 offensive snaps and saw a target for a second straight week. On a less sanguine note, the lopsided victory -- fueled by defense, special teams and turnovers in poor conditions -- highlighted that Cleveland's offense isn't set up for production from its depth wideouts.

Questionable for Week 7 Larvadain (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Larvadain will first need clearance from an independent neurologist to exit the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If he's able to attain that prior to Sunday's game, Larvadain would go back to filling a depth role on offense and possibly contributing in the return game on special teams.

Impact Larvadian continues to progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, as he was a non-participant at practice Wednesday. If he can upgrade to full practice reps Friday, Larvadain could have a chance to clear the concussion protocol in time to suit up at home against the Dolphins on Sunday. He'll need to gain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, before being eligible to return to game action.

Questionable to return Larvadain (head) is questionable to return to Cleveland's matchup versus the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact Larvadain exited the game after taking a big hit from DeShon Elliott. If Larvadain can't return, Jamari Thrash and Malachi Corley should see increased playing time for the remainder of the game.

Returns punts in season debut Larvadain returned three punts for 31 yards and was not targeted on offense in Sunday's 21-17 loss to Minnesota in Week 5.

Impact Larvadain made his season debut after being signed from the practice squad in the wake of injuries to Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) that landed both on the injured list last week. Larvadain had just one snap on offense, while fellow practice squad alum Malachi Corley played 12 snaps. The Browns on Sunday looked like a team that plans to rely on its ground game going forward, so opportunities for depth wideouts like Larvadain and Corley will be limited.

Signed to Cleveland's active roster The Browns signed Larvadain from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

Impact Larvadain made the Browns' initial 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was waived by Cleveland on Sept. 13 but opted to stay with the organization as a member of the team's practice squad, and he has been signed back to the active roster after Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) were both placed on injured reserve. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina could make his NFL regular-season debut against the Vikings on Sunday in London, England.
