The Cleveland Browns may be getting a big boost back to their wide receiver room as Cedric Tillman is expected to play against the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to Fred Greetham of the OBR, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski expects Tillman to return to practice on Wednesday. Tillman has missed the last two games while in concussion protocol after exiting Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 2023 third-round pick had a strong stretch of games before the injury, recording at least six receptions and 75 yards in each contest from Week 7 to Week 9. While receivers Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore have thrived with the increased passing volume under Jameis Winston, Tillman was also productive early in the team’s transition to Winston at quarterback.
These final four games will play a significant role in determining roles for next season. A larger sample size will give the Browns a better understanding of how Tillman and others fit into their long-term plans. Although the offense has been more volatile with Winston, their increased ability to move the ball creates opportunities for Tillman and others to showcase their abilities.
