James Proche II - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Released by Cleveland The Browns released Proche from the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Proche signed to Cleveland's practice squad ahead of the team's Week 5 17-12 loss to the Jets, in which he did not play. This move corresponds with the addition of Devin Culp and Vershon Lee to the practice squad.

Signs to practice squad The Browns signed Proche to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Proche last played for the Titans during the 2025 season. In nine games, he caught 6 of 12 targets for 65 yards. He also contributed on special teams, spending 26 of his 198 total regular-season snaps as a returner for Tennessee.

Modest role in Tennessee Proche recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 65 yards across nine games with the Titans during the 2025 season.

Impact Proche spent all season with Tennessee, starting with the practice squad before being permanently signed to the active roster in Week 12. He made an immediate impact in that contest, logging three receptions for 42 yards. Proche didn't log more than one catch in any remaining contests of the season, though it was still one of the more productive campaigns of his six-year career.

Sees uptick in usage Proche recorded one reception on five targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints.

Impact Van Jefferson (forearm) suffered an injury early in the second quarter and did not return, creating some opportunity amongst the Titans' receiving corps. Proche stepped up in the fourth quarter, logging a season high in targets. He was very inefficient with the opportunity, however, and he's unlikely to have much of an impact in Week 18 against the Jaguars.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First catches of 2025 Proche recorded three catches on three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Proche was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game and was active for his third contest of the season. He made his first catches of the 2025 season, highlighted by two third-down conversions on gains of 23 and 12 yards. Proche will likely remain active moving forward, though his role may diminish if Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) can return to the field.

Back on practice squad Proche reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Proche was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He logged 11 of 47 offensive snaps -- fourth among Titans wideouts -- and didn't see any targets or touches. Since he's now out of elevations, Proche would need to be signed to Tennessee's active roster in order to play again for the team this season.

Back with active roster The Titans elevated Proche to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site report.

Impact Proche's elevation provides Tennessee with much-needed depth at wide receiver, as Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) are both dealing with injuries ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Chargers. The SMU product is likely to contribute both offensively and on special teams Sunday.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back on practice squad The Titans reverted Proche to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Proche got his second elevation of the campaign ahead of Sunday's loss to Indianapolis and played five of Tennessee's 71 snaps on offense along with four snaps on special teams. He didn't log any touches or targets. Proche's elevation came as a result of Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) missing the game, and it may take both wideouts being absent again in Week 9 for Proche to be elevated again.

Joins active roster Proche was elevated to the Titans' active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact The veteran wideout is now in line to make his 2025 debut in the Week 8 matchup against the Colts. Proche's last in-game action came with the Browns in 2024, catching all three of his targets for 21 yards while also accumulating 172 kick-return yards across nine contest. Now with Tennessee's active roster, he could contribute both offensively and on special teams Sunday.

Reverts to practice squad Proche reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Proche was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals, but he ultimately didn't appear in the game. The wide receiver can now be elevated two more times this season before Tennessee would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

OCTOBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad The Titans elevated Proche from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Proche should provide extra depth at receiver as Bryce Oliver (knee) has been ruled out, and Calvin Ridley is questionable (knee/elbow). This is the first time this season Tennessee has elevated Proche, and the team will be eligible to do so two more times.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Titans on practice squad The Titans signed Proche to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Proche signed with the Titans in March after spending after spending the last two seasons with the Browns. He entered training camp looking to carve a spot for himself on the Titans' 53-man roster as a return specialist, but fourth-round rookie Chimere Dike appears to be the man to handle those duties for the start of the regular season. Proche is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should the Titans require depth at wide receiver and special teams.

Released by Tennessee The Titans released Proche on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Proche caught four passes for 43 yards on seven targets during the preseason after signing with Tennessee back in March. Turning 29 years old next month, Proche will try to land a gig elsewhere.

Special-teams role in finale Proche returned one kickoff for 19 yards and was not targeted in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 18.

Impact Proche filled the return role on punts, much like he's done whenever the Browns added him to the active roster this season, and had his first kickoff return. He finished the season with 19 punt returns for 172 yards and three receptions (three targets) for 21 yards.
