Gage Larvadain - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Used mostly on special teams Larvadain finished 2025 with seven receptions on 14 targets for 71 yards over 13 games. He also averaged 7.0 yards in 24 punt returns.

Impact Larvadain, an undrafted free agent in 2025, parlayed a strong preseason into a spot on the 53-man roster to open the season. The rookie wide receiver was eventually waived, brought back on the Browns' practice squad, and rejoined the active roster in Week 5 when injuries hit. Larvadain was used as a third, fourth or fifth receiver -- depending on the availability of others -- but never had a significant role in an offense that was limited by sub-par quarterback play all season. He made a bigger impact on special teams, where he was used 45 times (including fair catches) as a returner of punts. Larvadain is under contract for 2026; however, the Browns have several offseason tasks that could determine his future with the team. Those tasks begin with hiring a new head coach and includes reshaping the wide receiver grouping.

Limited usage in loss Larvadain was not targeted in five snaps on offense and returned one punt for three yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Buffalo in Week 16.

Impact Larvadain had experienced an uptick in playing time and targets the last three games, but that changed Sunday. He fell behind Malachi Corley (30 snaps, four targets) and was mostly limited to punt return duty. There's certainly room to move within the wideout group, but Cleveland's offense hasn't been kind to wide receivers in 2025.

Season-high snap count Larvadain caught one of two targets for eight yards and returned one punt for one yard in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears in Week 15.

Impact Larvadain played a season-high 31 snaps, as No. 2 wideout Cedric Tillman (seven snaps) appeared to be limited following a week in which he dealt with a concussion and a rib injury. Other than the increased snap volume, it was a normal week for Larvadain, who has five catches on eight targets for 49 yards the last three games.

Records two catches in loss Larvadain caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14. He also returned four punts for 16 yards.

Impact Larvadain recorded multiple targets for a second straight week following a five-game stretch in which he was targeted just twice (zero catches). An injury to fellow depth wideout Malachi Corley (concussion) could create more opportunities for Larvadain going forward. He also muffed one punt but recovered it, giving him four muffs in the last two games.

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.

Clears concussion protocol Larvadain (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Larvadain was diagnosed with a concussion following last week's loss to the Steelers, but he cleared protocols Sunday and will suit up despite not logging a full practice during Week 7 prep. Larvadain is expected to fill a depth role on offense and possibly contribute in the return game on special teams.

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.

Gets in limited practice Larvadain (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

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.
