Kaden Davis was added to the Browns’ active roster on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0are adding a new receiver to the mix, promoting\u00a0Kaden Davis\u00a0to the active roster.<\/p>\n
The Browns\u00a0officially announced the move\u00a0on Wednesday. Davis went undrafted in 2022 and has since bounced around. He\u2019s spent time with the\u00a0Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions and\u00a0Arizona Cardinals\u00a0on the practice squad. He spent 2023 playing for the Michigan\u00a0Panthers\u00a0in the USFL.<\/p>\n
Davis spent part of last year and this season on the Browns\u2019 practice squad. He\u2019s been elevated for one game, recording 14 snaps on special teams. Davis also appeared in one game last season.<\/p>\n
The Browns don\u2019t expect Davis to be a significant contributor in their wide receiver corps, which features\u00a0Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond and Cedric Tillman. But he\u2019ll provide depth to the unit,\u00a0which has struggled for most of this season. If he can continue to make an impact in practice, he might earn himself some targets on game day.<\/p>\n
The Browns\u2019 offense has not been able to get going this season,\u00a0averaging just 16.2 points per game. The production from the team\u2019s wide receivers has been especially troubling. In Week 8,\u00a0wide receivers accounted for just two targets\u00a0in a 32-13 loss to the\u00a0New England Patriots.<\/p>\n
The Browns shifted play-callers during the bye week and Jeudy was a beneficiary of the change. Jeudy notched six catches for 78 yards and his first touchdown of the season. He had entered the matchup with just 22 receptions over eight games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they\u2019re doing a good job of trying to get me going, start the game off and just continue on that momentum,\u201d Jeudy said.<\/p>\n
Browns quarterback\u00a0Dillon Gabriel\u00a0has stressed the importance of getting Jeudy involved as the team\u2019s top receiver. Week 10 was the first time Jeudy looked closer to the Pro Bowl talent he was last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cJerry\u2019s a great player, and want to continue to do that and he played great,\u201d\u00a0Gabriel said. \u201cI want to get the ball to the best players on our team. That would be the emphasis forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jeudy is also working on strengthening his connection with Gabriel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more we work with each other, the more confident and the more chemistry we have,\u201d Jeudy said. \u201cSo consistency is key. So every day in practice, every week in the game, I see him getting better, and that\u2019s all we could ask for, improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns\u2019 wide receiver group has yet to be at full strength this season, a tough reality given the lack of proven depth at the position. Tillman\u00a0returned on Sunday against the Jets, but rookie Isaiah Bond was out with a foot injury.<\/p>\n
Tillman appeared in Cleveland\u2019s first four games, posting 11 catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns before suffering a hamstring injury against the Detroit Lions. He was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 30, designated for return on Nov. 3, and made his comeback against the\u00a0Jets.<\/p>\n
Tillman finished with two receptions for 11 yards in the loss, but his presence was felt. He narrowly missed hauling in a leaping catch early in the game that could have been a momentum-shifting play.<\/p>\n
Bond logged limited reps in practice this week. If he\u2019s able to suit up, the Browns could finally get their first look at a full receiving corps when they face the\u00a0Ravens on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Cleveland Browns admitted making a mistake with Dillon Gabriel during a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets that put their rookie quarterback in a bad position.<\/p>\n
Down just one score, the Browns faced a critical fourth-and-one in the second half. But instead of running the ball with Quinshon Judkins, new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees called a pass. Gabriel had some options but was ultimately sacked for a seven-yard loss that ended the important possession.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook as a play caller, there\u2019s always things you want back,\u201d\u00a0Rees said on Thursday. \u201cFelt like we put our guys in position to have success throughout the game and then, when you do that and you don\u2019t have success, you always look to why and what you can do during the week to help your players have that success. There\u2019s going to be a handful of calls that you make that the defense won the rep, and that happens in football throughout a game.\u201d<\/p>\n
A reporter pointed out that Gabriel had an open option on the play, and Rees conceded again that they shouldn\u2019t have put their rookie quarterback in that situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I should have run the ball,\u201d Rees said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to get into the specifics of the play itself. You can freeze almost any play and say, \u2018Hey, this guy\u2019s open, this guy\u2019s open.\u2019 I want to make sure I\u2019m putting our players in the right spot. I made a call, an aggressive one, it didn\u2019t work and we got to move on to the next.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns\u2019 offense showed some brief flashes of competency against the Jets. But overall, it was still a sloppy, inconsistent showing from the unit that is\u00a0averaging just 16.2 points per game\u00a0this season.<\/p>\n
The results haven\u2019t been there with Gabriel, who had a few costly misses against the Jets. Still, Rees said the issues haven\u2019t stemmed from his decision-making or where his eyes are supposed to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe always grade that part of them and he grades out pretty high,\u201d Rees said. \u201cLook, nobody\u2019s going to bat a thousand. I don\u2019t bat a thousand calling it. Nobody\u2019s going to bat a thousand in really anything they do. But I would say he grades out where we want him. Dillon\u2019s prep and where he is mentally for a rookie is really well beyond. He\u2019s mature in that way and we want to make sure that those things that are happening during the week, we go ahead and execute them on Sundays.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the Browns\u2019 objectives has been to\u00a0get the ball to Jerry Jeudy more often. Jeudy was a Pro Bowler last season but entered Sunday\u2019s matchup with just 22 catches in eight games.<\/p>\n
While the Browns lost, they were able to get Jeudy more involved. He snagged a season-high six catches for 78 yards and his first touchdowns of the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cJerry does a lot of things well, and I\u2019ll just say we\u2019re trying to put him in a position to do those things in the right spots, in the right moments,\u201d Rees said. \u201cAnd, you know, we talked last week, when you get your good players going early, usually helps them throughout the game. So, Jerry\u2019s a very talented guy who\u2019s worked extremely hard, and, you know, he put himself in that position to have success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jeudy and the Browns face the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0on Sunday. Cleveland is a\u00a09.5-point underdog for the matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
