Officially back with Browns Corley signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender Monday.

Impact Corley joined Cleveland late last August after being waived by the Jets. The Western Kentucky product ended up playing 13 games with the Browns, recording 11 receptions on 14 targets for 79 yards. Corley also featured as the team's lead kick returner, taking 21 returns for 492 yards. He'll likely fill a similar role during the upcoming season.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tendered by Cleveland Cleveland placed an exclusive rights free agent tender on Corley on Wednesday.

Impact After being cut by the Jets following the preseason, Corley latched on with the Browns and appeared in 13 regular-season games last season. Corley logged 194 offensive snaps and caught 11 of 14 targets for 79 yards, while adding 127 rushing yards on 13 attempts. Corley will compete for a job under new coach Todd Monken this offseason.

Browns' Malachi Corley brags about leading the NFL in a quirky stat | Sporting News Cleveland wide receiver had a fun ending.

JANUARY 6 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Five touches in win Corley caught both of his targets for 20 yards and had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18.

Impact As has often been the case this season with the Browns, Corley saw work as a receiver and runner; this was the eighth time in 13 games was used in both roles. He latched on with Cleveland after being cut by the Jets prior to the start of the regular season and eventually was added to the Browns' active roster. Corley finished the regular season with 11 catches (14 targets) for 79 yards, 13 carries for 127 yards and averaged 23.4 yards over 21 kickoff returns. Cleveland is expected to make significant changes this offseason, and the free agent wideout may not be part of the 2026 picture.

One touch in win Corley caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Impact Corley, whose playing time ticked up the last few weeks, played the third most snaps at wide receiver behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. As has been the case all season, however, the Browns' offense is not set up to provide value to multiple targets, and Corley has just four catches for 25 yards the last three weeks. He's made a bigger impression as a kickoff returner, but that role went away Sunday, as the Browns used Trayveon Williams for that duty.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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.
