Larvadain was diagnosed with a concussion following the Browns' 23-9 loss to the Steelers on Sunday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Larvadain took a hit to the head from DeShon Elliott during the second half of Sunday's game. Larvadain will now enter the league's five-step concussion protocol, and he'll have to be be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Week 7 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Oct. 19. Isaiah Bond would be in line to serve as the Browns' primary punt returner if Larvadain misses time.

Rotowire
The Browns signed Larvadain from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.
Larvadain made the Browns' initial 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was waived by Cleveland on Sept. 13 but opted to stay with the organization as a member of the team's practice squad, and he has been signed back to the active roster after Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) were both placed on injured reserve. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina could make his NFL regular-season debut against the Vikings on Sunday in London.

Browns' Gage Larvadain: Makes initial 53-man roster
Rotowire
Larvadain will make Cleveland's initial 53-man roster rather than being among Tuesday's cuts, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Larvadain has parlayed an impressive preseason into a spot on Cleveland's initial 53-man roster, though the Browns' plans could still change before Week 1, considering the amount of players around the league being released or waived Tuesday. Still, the undrafted rookie out of South Carolina has defied odds to begin his NFL career and will continue working to compete with Isaiah Bond, Jamari Thrash and DeAndre Carter for depth opportunities behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman (thumb).

Browns' Gage Larvadain: Past lower-body injury
Rotowire
Larvadain (lower body) caught three passes (on seven targets) for 43 yards while logging 16 yards on his lone carry during the Browns' 22-13 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday.
Larvadain suffered a lower-body injury during the Browns' preseason opener against the Panthers, but the issue wasn't severe enough to prevent him from playing in Saturday's contest. The undrafted rookie led the Browns in targets, and, in addition to his offensive output, he turned five punt returns into 36 yards. Larvadain is battling for a wide receiver depth spot on Cleveland's 53-man roster, and his last chance to audition for that role will be in the Browns' preseason finale against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 23.
