Aug 27 (Field Level Media) – The Cleveland Browns are set to release wide ​receiver Cedric Tillman, multiple media ‌outlets reported on Thursday.

The Browns fortified the wide receiver position when they selected KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston within their ‌first ​three picks of the ⁠2026 NFL Draft. ⁠Concepcion was selected with the 24th overall pick out of Texas A&M, while Boston was chosen with ​the 39th overall pick out of Washington.

Tillman has yet to play ⁠in the preseason while ⁠dealing with an undisclosed ​injury. He returned to practice this week ​and was listed behind both rookie ‌wide receivers and Jerry Jeudy on the depth chart.

The Browns will need to trim their roster to ⁠the 53-man limit by Sunday afternoon’s deadline.

Tillman, 26, had 21 receptions for 270 yards ⁠and ‌two touchdowns in 13 games (10 ⁠starts) for the Browns ​last ‌season.

He has totaled 71 receptions ​for 833 ⁠yards and five TDs in 38 games (19 starts) since Cleveland selected him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Tennessee.
