Malachi Corley - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

More involved Week 16 Corley caught two of four targets for 11 yards and rushed three times for 30 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Buffalo in Week 16. He also returned four kickoffs for 107 yards.

Impact Corley was allotted season highs in targets and snaps (30 snaps, 45 percent) in the loss. His three rush attempts were also a season high, as the rookie wideout was part of the crew that stepped up in the wake of running back Quinshon Judkins' season-ending leg and ankle injuries. Corley is part of an unimpressive wideout group assembled in Cleveland but is setting himself up for a spot on next year's roster.

Targeted once in loss Corley caught his lone target for 10 yards and returned two kickoffs for 45 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Chicago in Week 15.

Impact Corley was touch-and-go all week but was eventually cleared of a concussion and suited up Sunday. He was back in a familiar role as a depth wideout and returner on kickoffs.

Available for Week 15 Corley (concussion) is active for Sunday's clash against Chicago.

Impact Corley suffered a concussion last Sunday against Tennessee, but he's since been able to clear concussion protocol and is set to suit up Sunday. The second-year wideout has had an inconsistent role in Cleveland's offense, though he had logged a snap share north of 25 percent in each of the four weeks prior to getting hurt. Corley has also been working as one of the team's top kick returners.

DECEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 15 Corley (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact The second-year pro from Western Kentucky sustained a concussion in the Week 14 loss to the Titans, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. Corley has appeared in nine games for the Browns this season, catching five of six targets for 34 yards and rushing seven times for 79 yards while operating as one of the team's top kick returners. He must still clear concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 15, and if he's unable to do so, Trayveon Williams will likely serve as one of Cleveland's top kick returners.

LP on Wednesday, still in protocol Corley (concussion) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday but is still in concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Corley is making progress in his recovery from a concussion sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Titans. In order to gain clearance to face the Bears on Sunday, Corley would need to progress to full practice participation by Friday, then be cleared by an independent neurologist.

Malachi Corley out with concussion vs. Titans David Njoku questionable to return with a knee injury

DECEMBER 7 • CLEVELANDBROWNS.COM

Enters concussion protocol Corley has entered the league's concussion protocol and will not return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Corley was shaken up on a jet sweep run after being tackled by Amani Hooker. Gage Larvadain should see more reps at wide receiver and Jerome Ford and Isaiah Bond are in line for more work as returners on kickoffs in Corley's absence.

DECEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Negative impact in loss Corley was not targeted, had one carry for nine yards and returned four kickoffs for 73 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.

Impact Under the new kickoff formation, installed in 2024, returners typically average more than Corley's 18 yards Sunday. Unfortunately, he fielded a ball inches from the sideline and fell out of bounds. So, instead of letting the ball roll out of bounds, which would have begun the Browns' possession at their own 40-yard line, they were stuck in the shadow of the own goal-line. Corley, who has emerged as the club's primary kickoff returner, put a struggling offense in a bad spot.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Minor roles in win Corley caught his lone target for eight yards, had one carry for minus-6 yards and returned two kickoffs for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.

Impact Corley served in a variety roles on the win, something he's done three times in the last four games. He accumulated 13 snaps on offense, and his 25-percent share is in on par with the previous three weeks. Corley has gained more yards as a runner (68 on five carries) than as a receiver (34 on five receptions), which sums up his expected fantasy value.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Secures two catches in loss Corley caught both of his targets for nine yards and returned three kickoffs for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Impact Corley, who opened the year on the Browns' practice squad, has done a little of everything since being added to the active roster Week 5. His major contributions have come on special teams, where Corley has emerged as the team's top kick returner the last three games. In addition to his work as a returner, the product of Western Kentucky has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and carried the rock four times for 74 yards. Of note, Corley maintained his spot on the active roster ahead of Jamari Thrash, a 2024 fifth-round draft pick of the Browns, who was made a healthy inactive Sunday to clear a spot for Isaiah Bond to return from an injury.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Afforded one target in loss Corley failed to catch his lone target, had two carries for 32 yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10.

Impact Cleveland's passing attack under rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel isn't strong enough to support fringe receivers like Corley. His 20 snaps were in line with fellow depth options Jamari Thrash (22) and Gage Larvadain (18). Corley has been effective as a runner, ripping off two 16-yard gains Sunday while averaging 18.5 yards over four carries this season.

Responsible for longest play Corley was not targeted, had one carry for 31 yards and returned five kickoffs for 112 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 8.

Impact Corley was on the field for just four offensive snaps, but his 31-yard end around on the team's first possession immediately preceded Cleveland's first touchdown and gave the Browns a lead they held for much of the first half. It was club's longest play from scrimmage. He also took over the kick-return duties, which has been a revolving door since DeAndre Carter (knee) landed on injured reserve. The 32-year-old Carter is eligible to return following the team's Week 9 bye, but the 2-6 Browns will be better served by getting a look at their rookies and younger players.

Targeted twice in win Corley caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Corley was targeted for the first time in three games played and was on the field for a season-high 13 snaps. There's a mix of bodies behind No. 1 wideout Jerry Jeudy, and Corley has as good a chance as any of them to pop in a given week. The issue is Cleveland's offense, which ranks 30th in passing (178.3 ypg) and scoring (16.1 ppg).

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to face Steelers Corley (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Corley upgraded to full participation Friday following a pair of limited practices. The 2024 third-round draft pick of the Jets played 12 snaps on offense in his Browns debut against the Vikings this past Sunday in London, turning his only touch into an 11-yard carry.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Working through groin injury Corley was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Corley made his Browns debut during their Week 5 loss to the Vikings in London, England, when he logged one carry for 11 yards while playing 12 snaps on offense. He may have picked up the groin injury during that contest, but he would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Steelers with a full practice Thursday or Friday.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Makes season debut Corley had one carry for 11 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 5.

Impact Corley was signed to the active roster last week and made his season debut. Of the two receivers plucked from the practice squad this week, Corley's 12 snaps were more than Gage Larvadain (one). Both were elevated after the Browns placed Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on the injured list.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Added to Cleveland's active roster The Browns signed Corley from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

Impact Corley and Gage Larvadain were both signed to the active roster to give the Browns much-needed depth at wide receiver after Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) were both placed on injured reserve. Corley joined the Browns' practice squad in late August after failing to make the Jets' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2024 third-rounder logged just three catches (on six targets) for 16 yards along with two carries for 26 yards across nine regular-season games during his rookie campaign as a member of the Jets.
