News

  • Could win No. 3 spot

    Peoples-Jones had an excellent minicamp and figures to compete for the No. 3 receiver job this summer, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

    Analysis: The 2020 sixth-round pick worked as Cleveland's No. 3 receiver for part of his rookie campaign, including the playoffs, though he drew only 20 targets in 12 regular-season games and three more in the two postseason appearances. Peoples-Jones made the most of his limited opportunities, catching 16 of the 23 targets for 335 yards and two touchdowns while working behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. With Odell Beckham (knee) seemingly on track for the season opener, Peoples-Jones will need to…read more

  • Serves as clear third WR

    Peoples-Jones caught his lone target for 23 yards over 46 snaps in Sunday's 22-17 playoff loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Even with the return of KhaDarel Hodge, who played eight snaps, Peoples-Jones was the clear third wideout behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. That's telling as the Browns head into the offseason. The rookie out of Michigan was on the inactive list the first three games of 2020 but eventually earned a greater role when given an opportunity to play. Initially, he was used as the primary returner and fill-in on offense, then gained the confidence of the coaching staff and replaced Hodge.…read more

  • Added competition Sunday

    Peoples-Jones will compete with KhaDarel Hodge for snaps in this weekend's divisional-round playoff game against Kansas City on Sunday.

    Analysis: The Browns activated Hodge from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, after the receiver had missed last week's playoff-opening win over Pittsburgh. The last time both players were completely healthy and available for a full game was Week 12 against Jacksonville, when Peoples-Jones had a 16-percent share of the snaps while Hodge played 43 percent of the snaps. Since then, either player has been inactive due to injury/illness or injured during a game, so it's uncertain how the two will divvy up…read more

  • Minor role in playoff win

    Peoples-Jones caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 48-37 wild-card win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones worked himself back from a concussion suffered Week 17 of the regular season. With KhaDarel Hodge (reserve/COVID-19) unavailable, Peoples-Jones' availability was a welcome development, but he played a minor role in the win, despite playing a significant 46 snaps. The rookie was fifth on the target list behind Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Austin Hooper and Nick Chubb. Cleveland moves onto the AFC divisional round next Sunday for a road game against the No. 1 seed Chiefs.

  • Suits up against Steelers

    Peoples-Jones (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday night's playoff opener against the Steelers.

    Analysis: This is good news for the Browns, with KhaDarel Hodge on the reserve/COVID-19 list. In that context, Peoples-Jones, who suffered a concussion during Week 17 action, will give it a go Sunday and will be in the mix for wide receiver snaps and targets behind top options Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Peoples-Jones (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's playoff game against the Steelers, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 21-year-old suffered the concussion Week 17, though he'll practice Friday after clearing the concussion protocol, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. While Peoples-Jones' status is cloudy, he appears on track to play Sunday.

  • Dealing with concussion

    Peoples-Jones (concussion) remained listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: If Peoples-Jones isn't cleared for Sunday's playoff game against the Steelers, Marvin Hall, Alexander Hollins and possibly Ja'Marcus Bradley could be in the mix for added wideout snaps behind starters Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins this weekend.

  • Unable to practice Wednesday

    Peoples-Jones (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Cleveland just held a walk-through session Wednesday, but Peoples-Jones was the only non-participant on the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his chances of clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's wild-card game in Pittsburgh. The wide receiver and return man will have two more practices to demonstrate progress in his recovery from the concussion he sustained in last weekend's win over the Steelers.

  • Concussion confirmed

    Peoples-Jones was diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones finished the game with one reception (on three targets) for 11 yards. The rookie wideout will enter the league's five-step concussion protocol. KhaDarel Hodge figures to see an expanded role behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Peoples-Jones was forced out of Sunday's game against the Steelers with a possible concussion, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Peoples-Jones caught one of his three targets for 11 yards. Next up for Cleveland's wide receiver snaps behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins is KhaDarel Hodge.

  • Rejoins roster

    The Browns reinstated Peoples-Jones from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Along with Peoples-Jones, the Browns also activated Rashard Higgins, KhaDarel Hodge, Jarvis Landry and Jacob Phillips after all five players sat out last week's loss to the Jets following their respective placements on the list. Before sitting out the Week 16 game, Peoples-Jones had seemingly usurped Hodge as the Browns' No. 3 receiver. With that in mind, expect Cleveland to deploy Landry, Higgins and Peoples-Jones as their starting receivers in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the…read more

  • Slated to come off COVID list

    Peoples-Jones is in line to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and KhaDarel Hodge, with all four wideouts on track to be available to take the field Thursday, should the Browns hold an actual practice.

  • Out for Week 16

    The Browns placed Peoples-Jones (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, ruling him out for Sunday's road contest versus the Jets.

    Analysis: In addition to People-Jones, fellow wide receivers Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and KhaDarel Hodge were deemed high-risk close contacts and are unable to suit up Week 16. With just one WR (Marvin Hall) remaining on the active roster, Cleveland elevated Ja'Marcus Bradley and Derrick Willies from the practice squad.

  • Could be unavailable Week 16

    Peoples-Jones (undisclosed) has been deemed a high-risk close contact and may not be available Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The same can be said for Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and KhaDarel Hodge. The Browns haven't placed any of the quartet on the reserve/COVID-19 list yet, but a decision on each player's availability may be imminent. If all four are unable to play Sunday, Cleveland will be down to one healthy wide receiver (Marvin Hall) on the active roster.

  • Remains deep threat

    Peoples-Jones caught all three of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Even with the return of KhaDarel Hodge from a hamstring injury, Peoples-Jones was still part of the wideout rotation. The rookie has been a consistent deep threat since becoming a regular in the lineup. Over the last three weeks, he has eight receptions for an average of 27.6 yards per catch. Going forward, the question is whether Hodge will take on a greater role as his hamstring gets stronger.

  • Producing as fill-in

    The Browns are pleased with Peoples-Jones' development during his rookie season, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The Browns used draft capital in 2020 (sixth round) to select Peoples-Jones, who never fulfilled the promise in a highly anticipated college career at Michigan. His size and athleticism were intriguing, though, and he's shown the makeup to overcome setbacks. Peoples-Jones initially replaced JoJo Natson (knee, IR) as the kick returner, but he was eventually replaced by D'Ernest Johnson. On offense, he dropped an easy touchdown on the opening drivein Week 13 against Tennessee but was later…read more

  • Steps in as No. 3 WR

    Peoples-Jones caught three of five targets for 74 yards in Monday's 47-42 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The rookie out of Michigan showed off his big-play ability for the second straight week by catching a 37-yard pass, and he has 166 receiving yards the last two weeks as a fill-in for No. 3 wideout KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring). For the season, Peoples-Jones is averaging 23.8 yards per reception.

  • Overcomes drop in win

    Peoples-Jones caught two of three targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-35 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones was one of four receivers to score a touchdown in a franchise-best first half. His 75-yard score erased the memory of a red-zone drop on the game's first drive that led to Cleveland settling for a field goal. The rookie, who had a larger role than normal Sunday, may not play as significant an offensive role in Week 14 depending on the health of KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring).

  • Stepping in as No. 3 receiver

    Peoples-Jones is slated to serve as the Browns' No. 3 wideout Sunday against the Titans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones has made his biggest impact for the Browns as a return man in recent weeks, but he'll get the chance to fill a regular spot in three-receiver sets Sunday while KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) is sidelined. Don't expect the rookie sixth-round pick to see much work in the passing game, however, as the Browns have been the most run-heavy offense in the NFL this season.

  • No targets again

    Peoples-Jones was not targeted over 11 snaps in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones was untargeted for a second straight week, but he remained the primary punt returner, taking one back for four yards.

  • Untargeted in win

    Peoples-Jones was not targeted over seven offensive snaps in Sunday's 22-17 win over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones played fewer than 10 snaps for the third time in five games and once again had more impact as a returner. He had 22 yards on four punt returns and 30 yards on one kickoff return. The rookie had been the primary returner in both phases, but in a new wrinkle, D'Ernest Johnson had more kickoff return chances (two) Sunday.

  • Two receptions in Week 10 win

    Peoples-Jones caught two of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over Houston.

    Analysis: The Browns attempted just 20 throws on a day heavily impacted by the weather conditions. After the top two wideouts got their share of the targets, there was little left for those on the lower end of the depth chart. Peoples-Jones ended up with one more target than KhaDarel Hodge, as both players fight for attention behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins.

  • Little use on offense

    Peoples-Jones returned one kickoff for 33 yards and played just four offensive snaps in Sunday's 16-6 loss to Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones had a big game last week when he caught the game-winning touchdown, but the return of KhaDarel Hodge (34 snaps) pushed him further down the depth chart. He and Taywan Taylor (three snaps) were on the fringes in the Browns' first game without Odell Beckham (knee, IR). The rookie will continue to operate as the primary returner but should be considered a non-factor as a receiver when filling out weekly fantasy lineups.

  • Preparing for double duty

    Peoples-Jones will remain the Browns' primary returner on punts and kicks while preparing for an expanded offensive role Week 8 against Las Vegas, George M. Thomas and Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal report.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones has handled the return duties the last four weeks while having little involvement on offense, but that changed this past week when Odell Beckham (knee) sustained a season-ending injury. With KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) slated to return this week, Peoples-Jones may be no better than fourth on the depth chart, but he proved himself last week with a pair of catches on the team's game-winning drive, including a touchdown catch.

  • Set for expanded role

    Peoples-Jones should serve as the No. 3 wide receiver moving forward following news that Odell Beckham (torn ACL) is out for the season, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Beckham left on the first drive of the game, so Peoples-Jones received his first real opportunity as a receiver afterwards. The rookie capitalized, reeling in all three of his targets for 56 yards and a game-winning touchdown. The increased volume should continue, as he's expected to slot in as the No. 3 wideout behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. The upcoming Week 8 matchup against the Raiders is favorable too, as Las Vegas has allowed the fifth-most passing yards per game (283.3) this…read more

  • Catches game-winner

    Peoples-Jones caught three of three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones had two catches on Cleveland's final drive, including the game-winning 24-yard touchdown with 15 seconds left. The Browns' primary returner, Peoples-Jones was thrust into a larger role when Odell Beckham (knee) left the game early. Pending the results of Beckham's MRI, Peoples-Jones could move up to the third wideout on the depth chart for the Week 8 home game against the Raiders.

  • Likely to remain returner

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Peoples-Jones "more than likely" will remain the team's primary kickoff returner, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones has been the primary returner on punts and kickoffs the last two weeks, although the coaching staff is looking for improvement from the rookie out of Michigan. In Pittsburgh last week, the Browns also deployed Dontrell Hilliard as a returner.

  • Targeted once in loss

    Peoples-Jones was targeted once and played three offensive snaps in Sunday's 38-7 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones' main contribution to Cleveland remains that of a returner. He returned two punts for six yards and and took back four kickoffs for 89 yards. After playing 33 offensive snaps Week 4, his playing time dropped to 10 then three in the last two games.

  • Limited offensive role

    Peoples-Jones returned five kickoffs for 99 yards and one punt for five yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones remained the Browns primary returner for all kicks but had his offensive snaps drop from 33 last week to one against the Colts. Rashard Higgins entered the lineup for the first time since Week 2 and will take over the third wideout job while KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) works his way back from injured reserve.

  • Remains primary returner

    Cleveland special teams coach Mike Priefer said Thursday that Peoples-Jones will remain the team's primary returner for punts and kickoffs, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones made his NFL debut last week but was at the center of a nervous moment late in the Browns' 49-38 win over Dallas. After the Cowboys cut the deficit to 41-30, Peoples-Jones nearly touched a squib kick, then didn't retrieve the live ball as it bounced slowly and rolled into the end zone. Despite the rookie's flub, the Browns still like his athleticism, so Peoples-Jones will get another chance to return kicks for at least one more week.

  • Could be third wideout Week 5

    Peoples-Jones may receive another opportunity to fill in as the Browns' No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game against the Colts, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The Browns kept the rookie active in last week's win over the Cowboys mainly to fill in at returner for the injured JoJo Natson (knee), but Peoples-Jones ended up logging 33 snaps on offense after KhaDarel Hodge suffered a hamstring injury during pregame warmups. Peoples-Jones wasn't targeted, but Pro Football Focus gave him a 78.9 run-blocking grade. Given the Browns' run-heavy offense, Peoples-Jones skills as a blocker could allow him to see snaps ahead of Rashard Higgins, who has been…read more

  • Makes NFL debut

    Peoples-Jones returned three kickoffs for 73 yards and one punt for 13 yards in Sunday's 49-38 win over Dallas.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones made his NFL debut after being inactive the first three weeks. With JoJo Natson (knee) sidelined, Peoples-Jones took on the role as the team's top returner, but he was also needed on offense. He played 33 snaps (zero targets) and filled in for third wideout KhaDarel Hodge, who injured his groin during pre-game warmups. Natson's injury is season-ending, so the rookie Peoples-Jones could be a regular on the gameday roster for the rest of the season.

  • Will debut against Cowboys

    Peoples-Jones finds himself on the active roster for the first time this season in advance of the Week 4 matchup against Dallas.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones saw reps all over the field during his days at Michigan, including in the return game, where he's most likely to be utilized moving forward. With JoJo Natson suffering a torn ACL that will cause him to miss the rest of the season, the door is open for Peoples-Jones to secure a role on special teams, though snaps on offense are expected to be sparse in the short term.

  • Likely active Week 4

    Peoples-Jones is likely to be active for the Week 4 game against Dallas, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones has been inactive the first three weeks, but JoJo Natson (knee, IR) is not available and the Browns need someone to return kicks and punts. Peoples-Jones has experience as a punt returner in college, and he may get a chance to make his NFL debut this week. As for playing wide receiver, he would be no better than fifth on the depth chart for an offense that heavily favors the running game.

  • Could be active Week 4

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the promotion of Dontrell Hilliard to the active roster doesn't mean Peoples-Jones will be inactive Week 4 against Dallas, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: When JoJo Natson (knee) left last week's win over Washington, the Browns lost their returner on punts and kickoffs, leaving a void for Week 4. Peoples-Jones, who has been inactive the first three weeks, has return experience in college, but it's not yet known if he'll be given a chance to make his NFL debut this week against the Cowboys. D'Ernest Johnson filled in during the game last week, and the promotion of Hilliard gives them another veteran returner.

  • Could benefit from Natson injury

    Peoples-Jones could be on the active roster for Week 4 against the Cowboys, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The Browns lost their primary returner, JoJo Natson, to a Week 3 knee injury that was diagnosed as a torn ACL. Peoples-Jones, who has been inactive through the first three games, returned 89 punts during three seasons at the University of Michigan for an 8.3 average and two touchdowns. The Browns gave him reps in the return game during training camp. Head coach Kevin Stefanski would not commit to having the rookie make his debut this week and mentioned multiple candidates to replace Natson on…read more

  • Healthy scratch again

    Peoples-Jones (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Thursday's contest against the Bengals, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick will require more time to develop before the Browns trust him to handle a role on offense, but he could eventually earn a chance to play in the return game.

  • Healthy scratch Week 1

    Peoples-Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for the Week 1 contest against Baltimore.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones wasn't expected to see much time on the field as a wide receiver out of the gates, but there was still a chance he could be used in the return game, similar to his role in college. He'll instead end up a healthy scratch, presumably leaving JoJo Natson in line to take on the bulk of return duties.

  • Back at practice

    Peoples-Jones practiced Friday after leaving Thursday's practice early with an undisclosed issue, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The Browns downplayed Peoples-Jones leaving practice early and did not list him on the post-practice media notes as being injured. The rookie wideout is expected to earn a roster spot but may not play a large role unless he wins a job as a returner.

  • Leaves practice early

    Peoples-Jones left Thursday's practice early accompanied by trainers, Mary Kay Cabot and Joshua Gunter of the Cleveland Plain Dealer report.

    Analysis: Peoples-Jones had flashed earlier in practice when he caught a 65-yard touchdown pass from Case Keenum.
