Corley (concussion) is active for Sunday's clash against Chicago.
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.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Questionable for Week 15
Rotowire
Corley (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
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.

Browns' Malachi Corley: LP on Wednesday, still in protocol
Rotowire
Corley (concussion) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday but is still in concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
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.
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.
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.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Negative impact in loss
Rotowire
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.
Under the NFL's new kickoff formation, returners typically average more than the 18 yards Corley managed Sunday. Unfortunately, he fielded one kick inches from the sideline and fell out of bounds. Had he allowed the kick to roll out of bounds, the Browns' struggling offense would have begun its possession at their own 40-yard line instead of in the shadow of its own goal-line. The Browns' kick returners had a bad day all around while fighting windy conditions, as punt returner Gage Larvadain committed three fumbles and lost one of them.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Minor role in win
Rotowire
Corley caught his lone target for eight yards, had one carry for minus-6 yards and returned two kickoffs for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.
Corley served in a variety roles in the win, continues the usage he's seen three times in the last four games. He accumulated 13 snaps on offense, and his 25 percent share Sunday was on par with the previous three weeks. Corley has gained more yards as a runner (68 on five carries) than as a receiver (34 on five receptions), but in the aggregate he offers little fantasy value.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Secures two catches in loss
Rotowire
Corley caught both of his targets for nine yards and returned three kickoffs for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.
Corley, who opened the year on the Browns' practice squad, has done a little bit of everything since being added to the active roster in Week 5. His major contributions have come on special teams, where the 2024 third-round pick has emerged as the team's top kick returner. In addition, the former Jet has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and carried the rock four times for 74 yards. Of note, Corley maintained his spot on the active roster ahead of Jamari Thrash, a 2024 fifth-round draft pick of the Browns, who was a healthy inactive Sunday to clear a spot for Isaiah Bond.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Cleared to face Steelers
Rotowire
Corley (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Corley upgraded to full participation Friday following a pair of limited practices. The 2024 third-round draft pick of the Jets played 12 snaps on offense in his Browns debut against the Vikings this past Sunday in London, turning his only touch into an 11-yard carry.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Working through groin injury
Rotowire
Corley was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Corley made his Browns debut during their Week 5 loss to the Vikings in London when he logged one carry for 11 yards while playing 12 snaps on offense. He may have picked up the groin injury during that contest, but he would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Steelers with a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Makes season debut
Rotowire
Corley had one carry for 11 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 5.
Corley was signed to the active roster last week and made his season debut. Of the two receivers plucked from the practice squad this week, Corley's 12 snaps were more than Gage Larvadain's one. Both were bumped up after the Browns placed Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) on injured reserve.

Browns' Malachi Corley: Added to Cleveland's active roster
Rotowire
The Browns signed Corley from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.
Corley and Gage Larvadain were both signed to the active roster to give the Browns much-needed depth at wide receiver after Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) were both placed on injured reserve. Corley joined the Browns' practice squad in late August after failing to make the Jets' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2024 third-rounder logged just three catches (on six targets) for 16 yards along with two carries for 26 yards across nine regular-season games during his rookie campaign as a member of the Jets.

Malachi Corley: Joins Cleveland's practice squad
Rotowire
The Browns are signing Corley to the practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Corley was waived by the Jets on Tuesday after playing just 83 snaps on offense across nine regular-season appearances last year as a rookie. The 2024 third-round pick will now work to maneuver toward a similar trajectory as Elijah Moore once did, being a player who was also let go by the Jets early in his career before turning things around with the Browns -- though he was traded to Cleveland, not claimed off waivers. Corley's skill set could make him a fine complement to top Cleveland wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman as long as he can continue to progress in his development.

Malachi Corley: Waived by Jets
Rotowire
The Jets waived Corley on Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
The 2024 third-round pick lasted just one year with the team that drafted him, logging 83 snaps on offense and fumbling out of the end zone on one of his five touches. Corley should generate interest elsewhere in the NFL, if only as a practice-squad signing after clearing waivers.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Not assured roster spot?
Rotowire
Corley (undisclosed), who missed mandatory minicamp while continuing to manage an undisclosed injury sustained during OTAs, isn't a lock to make the Jets' regular-season roster, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Corley played just 83 offensive snaps (and eight snaps on special teams) across his nine regular-season appearances as a rookie, despite New York investing third-round draft capital by selecting him 65th overall. His most memorable moment in Year 1 came in the form of a fumble at the goal line during Week 9 that turned what would have been his first career touchdown into a touchback. New offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand acknowledged that the time Corley has missed during early installs means he's "going to have to find a way to catch himself up." Now fighting an uphill battle, it will be crucial for Corley to get healthy for Day 1 of training camp July 23. The Jets have a relatively open competition at wide receiver behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson, with Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Gipson representing Corley's competition for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Plays sparingly as rookie
Rotowire
Corley caught three of six targets for 16 yards and rushed twice for 26 yards in nine games in 2024.
Corley didn't see the field much as a rookie, and what would have been his best play was marred by a brain cramp, as he celebrated prematurely and dropped the ball before crossing the goal line on an 18-yard run against the Texans in Week 9. The 2024 third-round draft pick out of Western Kentucky was known for gaining yards after the catch in college, but Corley didn't get many chances to showcase those skills in his first NFL season.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Inactive again in Week 15
Rotowire
Conley (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.
The Jets will keep five receivers active ahead of Corley, who will be a healthy scratch for the second week in a row. The third-round pick out of Western Kentucky has been a major disappointment during his rookie season, having played just 80 snaps on offense while being inactive for six of the Jets' first 14 games in coach's decisions.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Healthy scratch for Week 14
Rotowire
Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Despite playing a season-high 38 snaps on offense against the Seahawks in Week 13, the decision to have Corley inactive Sunday is in large part due to the Jets activating Allen Lazard off injured reserve Saturday. The Jets have opted for Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles as their depth wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Lazard. Corley's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Corley (illness) does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Corley missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but he was a full participant in the last two sessions of the week and will be able to play Sunday. The rookie third-rounder will continue to serve as the Jets' No. 4 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson.

Jets' Malachi Corley: Active for Week 8
Rotowire
Corley is not among the Jets' inactives for their battle against New England on Sunday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
Corley was a healthy scratch three straight games coming into Week 8, but he'll be available to play against the Patriots. The rookie's active status comes as veteran wideout Allen Lazard is inactive due to a chest injury. Corley has just one catch on one target for four yards in only two offensive snaps over the three regular-season games he's participated in thus far, so he's unlikely to see much action Sunday.
