Who Should I Start? Cedric Tillman or Matthew Golden

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (calf) went down in the back of the end zone at training camp practice on Thursday and immediately started holding his calf, according to ESPN Cleveland. Trainers were then seen stretching Tillman's calf muscle, which could mean that Tillman was just cramping due to the heat. Although this could turn out to be just a minor injury, the Browns really can't afford to lose any more wideouts early in camp, as both David Bell (hip) and Michael Woods II (hand) are also sidelined in the early going. The 25-year-old Tillman will be given every chance to serve as the WR2 behind Jerry Jeudy in 2025 after come on strong near the end of last season before suffering a concussion in the final month. The Browns also have Diontae Johnson now, though, and Tillman is going to need to prove it. It may be difficult with Joe Flacco projected to start at QB.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden was being used in multiple different fashions during the team's training camp practice on Friday, according to Ryan Wood of USA Today. Wood notes that Golden was "doing a lot of pre-snap motions" and broke a jet sweep for a gain of 20-plus yards along the left sideline. A first-round draft pick out of Texas, Golden was utilized exclusively as a receiver in college. However, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has shown a willingness to get the ball in the hands of wideouts like Jayden Reed and Christian Watson in unconventional manners in the past. It's a good sign for Golden that he appears to be a focus of the offense this early in camp. Green Bay has a deep receiver room, but there's opportunity for the rookie to emerge as the true go-to target for quarterback Jordan Love.
