Michael Woods II Misses Thursday's Practice With Hand Injury

Thursday, July 24, 6:52 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Michael Woods II (hand) was not on the field for training camp practice on Thursday due to a hand injury, according to Scott Petrak of The Elyria Chronicle Telegram. It's unclear how serious Woods' hand injury is, but it's yet another injury for the former sixth-round pick (202nd overall) in 2022. The 25-year-old had five catches for 45 yards and no touchdowns in his rookie campaign in 10 games, missed all of 2023 due to injury and caught just seven of 17 targets for 65 yards and no scores in only five games (two starts) in 2024. He missed the season finale last year with a knee injury that also caused him to miss some workouts this spring. Woods is going to need to stay healthy, but even if he does, he will probably be on the outside looking in for a starting spot behind Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman and Diontae Johnson.

Browns Place David Bell On Injured Reserve After Hip Injury

Wednesday, September 18, 1:56 AM

The Cleveland Browns have placed wide receiver David Bell (hip) on injured reserve after he was carted off the field following a hit early in the third quarter, with trainers lifting his right leg for support. Before his injury, Bell had three receptions for 27 yards in Sunday's victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, before he suffered a dislocated hip. A third-round pick in 2022, Bell has accumulated 41 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns across 32 games, including eight receptions for 54 yards in last season's playoff loss to the Texans. Fantasy managers can anticipate increased roles for Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Jerome Ford, and D'Onta Foreman going forward. Additionally, the Browns have signed receiver Jaelon Darden and running back Royce Freeman to their practice squad.
