Isaiah Bond - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Listed as top punt returner Bond is listed atop the unofficial depth chart as the punt returner ahead of Week 5 against Minnesota.

Impact The Browns had to scramble this week after placing DeAndre Carter (knee) on injured reserve following last week's loss to the Lions. Bond is slated to replace Carter on punts, while Jerome Ford is expected to return kickoffs. Bond had some experience fielding punts in college and earlier this season stepped in for a concussed Carter in Week 2. The added return role, however, is small potatoes compared to what is expected to be a larger profile as a receiver. Cleveland also placed wideout Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve, and Bond is expected to see an increased workload on offense.

Looks set for increased workload Bond is positioned for increased opportunities alongside Jerry Jeudy following the placement of Cedrick Tillman (hamstring) on IR, Dan Labbe of cleveland.com reports.

Impact Bond led the Browns with 58 yards during the team's loss to the Lions in Week 4, securing three of six targets. That production came with Tillman playing just 15 offensive snaps due to his hamstring injury, which portends Bond stepping into a key role in his absence, beginning Sunday against the Vikings. Still, even as the clear No. 2 receiver in Cleveland as long as Tillman is sidelined, for Bond to attain consistent fantasy value this passing game will need to take a step forward with rookie third-round pick Dillon Gabriel taking over under center.

QB Joe Flacco faces pressure as Browns struggle to find offensive rhythm

Joe Flacco is under pressure to prove he can lead the Cleveland Browns offense effectively

SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press

Leading receiver Sunday Bond caught three of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Detroit in Week 4.

Impact Bond had a mini breakout game on a day that No. 2 wideout Cedric Tillman (hamstring) was limited to 15 snaps. The targets and yardage were season highs for Bond, who should leap a spot on the depth chart depending on the severity of Tillman's injury. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Browns' offense and passing attack has been anemic through the first quarter of the season, and there may not be any value to be wrung from the team's No. 2 receiver in the short term.

Playing time spikes Week 3 Bond caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Green Bay.

Impact Bond made his first start of the season and was given 43 snaps, nearly as many he had over the first two games. He's gone from 21 snaps in Week 1 to 28 in Week 2 before prior to a big jump in usage Sunday. Bond has emerged as the No. 3 wideout, which potentially has value but not on an offense that has managed to score 15 points per game.

He's gone from 21 snaps in Week 1 to 28 in Week 2 before prior to a big jump in usage Sunday. Bond has emerged as the Browns' No. 3 wideout, which might normally hold value but not necessarily on an offense that has managed to score only 15 points per game.

Fill-in punt returner Bond caught one of three targets for six yards, had one carry for nine yards and filled in as a punt returner in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Ravens in Week 2.

Impact Bond added punt-return duties to his responsibilities following an injury to DeAndre Carter (concussion) early in the first quarter. Bond didn't get much work on that front, signaling for a fair catch on the one punt he fielded. While mixing in behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman through the first two weeks of the season, Bond has caught two of four targets for 11 yards.

Practices Tuesday Bond practiced for the first time with the Browns on Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Cleveland officially signed Bond on Monday after a sexual assault charge against him was dropped. He told reporters that he stayed sharp and worked out during the process and feels well-conditioned to compete for a depth spot at wide receiver. Bond doesn't have much time to learn the playbook and will have just one preseason game to acclimate to the team. He could be a candidate for the practice squad.

Inks three-year deal with Cleveland The Browns signed Bond to a three-year, $3.018 million contract Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.

Impact The deal is fully guaranteed and is consistent with the contract of a third-round draft pick. Bond went undrafted in April after he was accused of sexual assault, but the case was no-billed last week, paving the way for Bond to find a home in the NFL. Bond began his college career at Alabama but transferred to Texas for his final season. In total, Bond produced a 99-1,428-10 receiving line across three collegiate seasons. Bond is fast, but he wasn't an overly productive college wideout. Look for him to compete with Jamari Thrash and Diontae Johnson for snaps behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

Intends to sign with Cleveland Bond announced Thursday that he plans to sign with the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The news that Bond intends to sign with Cleveland arrives on the same day that it was announced that the wide receiver has been no-billed and faces no further criminal charges stemming from his April arrest, ESPN.com reports. After catching 34 passes for 540 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games with Texas last season, Bond went unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft. Assuming a deal is finalized, with 4.39 speed, the 5-foot-11, 180-pounder could push for a depth role in a Browns WR corps that is currently led by Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.
