News

  • Healthy scratch Week 16

    Felton (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Saturday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Felton helped fill in for the Browns' injury-depleted receiving corps the past three games. However, the 24-year-old will now be ruled a healthy scratch for the fourth time in seven weeks, as wideouts Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, David Bell and Michael Woods are all set to play Saturday.

  • One touch in win

    Felton caught his lone target for five yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Felton was part of the crew stepping up in the absence of David Bell (thumb) and Anthony Schwartz (concussion), but he played only four snaps. Most of the available third-wideout playing time went to Michael Woods (41 snaps) with Daylen Baldwin (12) behind him. The reception was just the second on the season for Felton.

  • Fills in for injured Bell

    Felton did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Texans in Week 13.

    Analysis: Felton was on the active roster for the first time in four weeks, which turned out to be a prudent decision by head coach Kevin Stefanski. The Browns lost slot receiver David Bell to a hand injury early and used Felton as a fill-in. He played a season-high 36 snaps and is more familiar with the slot role than Anthony Schwartz, who played five snaps on offense, so Felton could see consistent usage if Bell misses additional time.

  • Inactives outnumber actives

    Felton was inactive for Week 12 against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: This was the third straight week Felton's been inactive and sixth time in 11 games for the second-year back. He has just two touches and two returns over five games.

    Published: Mon, Nov 28 at 5:20am by Rotowire.com

  • Inactive again

    Felton was a healthy inactive for Week 11 against Buffalo.

    Analysis: Felton has just two touches on offense and one as a returner this season. The hybrid back has clearly dropped behind Jerome Ford and is used only when injuries hit at wideout or running back. With Ford and Michael Woods healthy, there's no room for Felton.

    Published: Mon, Nov 21 at 5:54am by Rotowire.com

  • Inactive Week 10

    Felton did not suit up for Sunday's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

    Analysis: Felton was a healthy inactive for the fourth time in nine weeks because the Browns welcomed back Jerome Ford from his ankle injury. Drafted as a hybrid back/receiver in 2021, Felton's failed to make an impact during his one-plus seasons in the NFL.

    Published: Mon, Nov 14 at 5:15am by Rotowire.com

  • Returns one kick

    Felton returned one kickoff for 11 yards and did not play on offense in Monday's 32-13 win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Felton has shifted roles all season. Some weeks he's on the active roster and some weeks he's not, and when he has been active, he's not always the primary kickoff returner. If the Browns trade either Kareem Hunt or D'Ernest Johnson, Felton's chances of seeing time on offense would improve, but rookie Jerome Ford (ankle) is eligible to return from injured reserve following the Browns' Week 9 bye.

  • Activated for Week 7

    Felton was on the active roster for Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Ravens but played only on special teams.

    Analysis: Felton, who was inactive the previous week, played just six snaps and was not a factor in the return game. The lone kickoff return fell to D'Ernest Johnson, while Donovan Peoples-Jones handled punt returns.

  • Will not play Sunday

    Felton (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Felton was also inactive last Sunday, and it appears he has fallen behind Chester Rogers on the punt returner depth chart. He'll work to earn a chance to be active in Week 7 against the Ravens.

  • Punt returner on depth chart

    Felton is listed as the primary punt returner on the Browns' unofficial depth chart for Week 5 against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Felton helped replace Jerome Ford (ankle) on kickoff returns Sunday and may get a crack at returning punts this coming weekend. Donovan Peoples-Jones, who returned punts in Week 4, is now listed only as a wide receiver, while D'Ernest Johnson tops the kickoff return depth chart. Felton opened the season as the primary returner for both punts and kickoffs but has since lost both jobs.

  • Active in Week 4

    Felton played four snaps on special teams in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Falcons in Week 4.

    Analysis: Felton returned to the active roster after being held out Week 3 against the Steelers, but the hybrid back did not get on the field for the offense. An in-game development could give Felton a larger role going forward, however. Kickoff returner Jerome Ford sustained an ankle injury on his second return of the day and he was replaced by Felton, although he did not get a chance to return a kick. The punt return role that he held earlier this season was handled by Donovan Peoples-Jones on Sunday.

  • Won't suit up Thursday

    Felton (coach's decision) was listed as inactive ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Felton has made little impact outside of his role as a punt returner over the first two games of the season, recording just one catch and one rush in Week 2. In his stead, Chester Rogers will likely handle punt returns after being elevated from Cleveland's practice squad Thursday.

  • Used in all phases

    Felton had one carry for minus-4 yards, caught his lone target for three yards and returned two punts for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

    Analysis: The rushing attempt was Felton's first of the season, and the target his second. He played 12 snaps on offense and 13 more on special teams. The hybrid back has been active ahead of D'Ernest Johnson for the first two games of the season, mostly due to his versatility as a wideout.

  • Returns five punts, muffs one

    Felton returned five punts for 29 yards and muffed one of them in Sunday's 26-24 win over Carolina in Week 1.

    Analysis: As expected, Felton contributed mostly on special teams but did have one target and played 11 snaps on offense. It had been reported that he would handle both punts and kickoffs, but the Browns used rookie Jerome Ford on kickoffs. It's unclear if the muff will prompt a change on punt returns, but that notion was floated by Zac Jackson of The Athletic. In an unexpected move, the Browns made D'Ernest Johnson inactive, but neither Felton nor Ford benefitted from that in the way of carries.

  • Locked in as primary return man

    Cleveland lists Felton as its top kickoff and punt return on the unofficial depth chart the team released Tuesday, the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Felton's versatility came in handy during the preseason and training camp, when the Browns suffered injuries at wideout and in the return game. On offense, the hybrid running back/wide receiver is listed only as a receiver, one of six the Browns kept on their 53-man roster. He's not likely to have a consistent role on offense as anything more than a gadget player.

  • Remains on RB depth chart

    The Browns continue to list Felton on the depth chart at running back, even though he hasn't spent a full practice day with the running backs since May, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Felton spent most of training camp with the wideouts and was often among the first group at slot receiver during full-team drills. His usage in camp and the Browns' decision to keep four other running backs suggests Felton's clearest path to playing time will likely come at receiver. The wideout depth chart is full of unproven targets beyond Amari Cooper, so the Brown could bring in another receiver before Week 1 to round out the position group.

  • Integrates at running back

    Felton has taken carries at running back the last two days of practice after spending most of training camp at wide receiver, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Out of necessity due to several wideout injuries, the Browns had Felton focused on running routes rather than running the ball. With the return of players from injury, the Browns can allocate more of Felton's time to the backfield. Cleveland's ground attack took on a new level of significance Thursday following the increase in Deshaun Watson's suspension from six to 11 games. The backs figure to be paramount in offensive game plans while the team adjusts to life without its No. 1 quarterback.

  • Tops return spot on depth chart

    The Browns list Felton as their top return man for punts and kickoffs on the unofficial depth chart for Sunday's preseason game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Ja'Marcus Bradley handled both chores in last week's preseason opener against the Jaguars, but it now looks as though it'll be Felton's turn to replace the injured Jakeem Grant (Achilles) on special teams. Felton was the primary punt returner and the second kick returner behind Anthony Schwartz in 2021. Since Grant went down with a season-ending injury, the Browns have used multiple returners in practice, including Felton, Bradley, Donovan Peoples-Jones and Ronnie Harrison.

  • Ascends returner depth chart

    Felton is likely to settle in atop the depth chart at kick and punt returner after Jakeem Grant exited Tuesday's practice with an Achilles injury, Zack Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Felton is the first line for the return gig, but D'Ernest Johnson, Anthony Schwartz, Ja'Marcus Bradley and Mike Harley could also be used in practice and preseason games. Since the start of the preseason, Felton's chances of making the Week 1 roster have improved considerably. After the Browns drafted Jerome Ford this spring to add to an already crowded running back room, the hybrid back/receiver found himself on the roster bubble. Since then, injuries to several wide receivers gave Felton…read more

  • Gets reps in slot

    Felton has taken reps at slot receiver the first two days of camp, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Felton is part of a crowded running back room but has experience as a wideout. He's getting fill-in reps while David Bell (foot) is on the active/PUP list. Felton could see more reps with Anthony Schwartz sustaining a knee injury Thursday. Bell's injury is not considered serious, and the Browns will evaluate Schwartz, who left under his own power with a trainer Thursday.

  • Works with wideouts Wednesday

    Felton worked out with the Browns' wide receivers Wednesday when the team opened its training camps kicked off camp, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Felton is a hybrid running back/wide receiver who doesn't have a clear path to consistent snaps at either position. His inclusion in the receiver room for the start of summer workouts is likely a reaction to rookie wideout David Bell (foot) opening camp on the active/PUP list. As such, Felton could be a beneficiary of Bell's injury should it linger, although Anthony Schwartz ascends to third on the depth chart behind Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones in the short term.

  • Focus on RB in 2022

    A Cleveland scout said Felton will focus on running back in 2022, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Felton was dubbed a hybrid back when he was selected in the 2021 Draft, capable of playing running back or wide receiver, but he spent most of time in the receivers' room as a rookie. It's unclear what shape Felton's role will take in 2022. He was one of the Browns' primary returners last season, but Cleveland added Jakeem Grant for both punt and kick returns this offseason, and the selection of running back Jerome Ford in the fifth round adds to a crowded backfield.

  • Scores in finale

    Felton had one carry for six yards and caught both of his targets for 18 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown catch, in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Billed has hybrid back/wideout when drafted in the sixth round of the 2021 Draft out of UCLA, Felton finished the season with more catches (18) than rushing attempts (seven). He served primarily as a pass catcher when used on offense, but he played only 130 snaps (12.4 percent share) on that unit and was mostly used in the return game, both punts and kickoffs. He had a couple of muffs in Week 14, prompting the Browns to use others as the primary returner in each role. He's under contract for…read more

  • Invisible in Week 17

    Felton played one snap on offense and 10 on special teams in Monday's 26-14 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: The rookie was barely seen Monday; after being the team's primary kick returner the last two weeks, he was replaced in that role by D'Ernest Johnson. Felton's had an up-and-down season, but he could get more opportunities in Week 18 against the Bengals. The Browns' playoff hopes were dashed before the team took the field Monday, and they have nothing to gain next week. Additionally, head coach Kevin Stefanski told Zac Jackson of The Athletic that Nick Chubb got banged up Monday, though he…read more

  • Minimal use on offense

    Felton returned four kickoffs for 83 yards and played four snaps on offense in Week 16's 24-22 loss to the Packers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Felton's playing time on offense took a hit with Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list, dropping him from a season-high 29 snaps against the Raiders in Week 15 to four against Green Bay. He did serve as the team's primary kick returner for a second straight game, however. He appears to have taken over the kick-return duties from fellow rookie Anthony Schwartz, who was active for the second consecutive game following a three-game absence due to a concussion.

  • Increased activity in loss

    Felton caught three of four targets for 16 yards and returned one kickoff for 24 yards in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: With Kareem Hunt (ankle), Austin Hooper and Jarvis Landry all on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Felton saw an uptick in targets and playing time. He was on the field for a season-high 29 offensive snaps (52 percent). The rookie has made a bigger impact as a return man this season, but he was removed as the primary punt returner Monday after muffing a couple of punts in last week's win over Baltimore. Donovan Peoples-Jones took over as the punt returner.

  • Muffs returns

    Felton did not play on offense and muffed two punt returns in Sunday's 24-22 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Fortunately for the Browns, Felton recovered both muffs, but that was it for his day. JoJo Natson replaced him on punt returns the rest of the way. Following a drop in the Browns' previous game, Felton appears to be on shaky ground. While he did not play on offense, there was one significant development that could create an opportunity for him Week 15 against the Raiders. Fellow back Kareem Hunt sustained an ankle injury and could be unavailable next Sunday.

  • Little usage on offense

    Felton did not catch his lone target and returned one punt for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Felton played just one snap on offense, as the Browns had a full complement of backs available. He's had a presence on occasion as a receiver, but that element of Cleveland's offense has suffered due to quarterback Baker Mayfield's multiple nagging injuries.

  • Returns as main punt returner

    Felton had three carries for two yards and returned three punts for 12 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Felton was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and operated as the team's third running back but played only 12 snaps on offense. Fellow running back Nick Chubb also returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list, which put a cap on the rookie's playing time. Felton did return to being the main punt returner, however.

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    The Browns activated Felton (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Anthony Poisal of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Felton and top running back Nick Chubb (illness) both officially came off the COVID-19 list Friday morning, giving the Browns' backfield two notable additions ahead of a Week 11 matchup against Detroit. Though Felton only has three carries this season he is a key contributor on special teams, as he leads the NFL with 26 punt returns and is averaging 8.4 yards per punt return. Additionally, Felton has caught 13 of 14 targets for 147 yards and a score through nine appearances.

  • Ruled out against Patriots

    Felton (illness) won't play Sunday against the Patriots, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Felton and Nick Chubb are evidently both still battling COVID-19, as both have been ruled out for Sunday's game. Until Felton's able to submit a pair of negative tests 24 hours apart, he'll remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list. D'Ernest Johnson will take on the lead role in a Browns backfield decimated by COVID-19 and injuries.

  • Still not practicing

    Felton (illness) remained away from practice Friday and is still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Mark Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The deadline to activate Felton in time for him to suit up Sunday against the Patriots will be Saturday at 4:00 p.m. EST, and he will need to have submitted a pair of negative COVID-19 tests in a 24-hour span by then in order to be activated. The same is true of running back Nick Chubb, who also remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

  • Week 10 status TBD

    Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that he does not have any updates on the status of Felton (illness) for Week 10, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Stefanski said the same of Nick Chubb (illness), as both he and Felton tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. As a result, both running backs now reside on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will need to log two negative test results at least 24 hours apart before being cleared to return to action. Kareem Hunt (calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, so D'Ernest Johnson could once again be poised for a valuable role as the lead in Cleveland's backfield.

    Analysis: As expected, Felton lands on the COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Tuesday. In addition to Felton, Nick Chubb and John Kelly both also tested positive for the virus, leaving D'Ernest Johnson as the only remaining running back on the Browns' active roster who isn't in the NFL's COVID-19 protocols. Both Felton and Chubb are fully vaccinated, so they haven't been ruled out for Cleveland's Week 10 matchup with the Patriots yet, but they will need to submit two negative test results…read more

    Felton tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, putting his status in question for Sunday's game at New England, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: In addition to Felton, Nick Chubb tested positive for the virus Tuesday as well, meaning that three running backs on the 53-man roster have now contracted COVID-19 after depth option John Kelly was revealed to have tested positive Monday. At this stage, D'Ernest Johnson remains the only healthy back on the roster who isn't in the NFL's COVID-19 protocols. Because Felton and Chubb are vaccinated, both will be eligible to rejoin the Browns as soon as they submit two negative test results at least…read more

  • Catches lone target in win

    Felton caught his lone target for 22 yards and had 15 return yards on two punts and one kickoff in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Felton has caught at least one pass in seven of nine contests this season and continues to get steady work as a returner. He'd been limited to punt-return duty only over the last several games, but Felton replaced fellow rookie Anthony Schwartz, who had recently been handling kick returns.

  • Reduced snaps with Chubb return

    Felton had one carry for three yards and caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to Pittsburgh. He added one yard on two punt returns.

    Analysis: The return of Nick Chubb moved Felton down a notch on the depth chart, which showed in the hybrid back's snap count. He went from a season-high 21 offensive snaps in Week 7 to nine against the Steelers. With Kareem Hunt (calf) expected to be out longer than the three-week minimum required by his placement on IR, Felton should remain on the fringes of relevancy the next two games, at Cincinnati in Week 9 and at New England in Week 10.

  • Gets first carries

    Felton had two carries for 13 yards, caught all three of his targets and gained 21 yards, and returned two punts for 13 yards in Thursday's 17-14 victory over Denver.

    Analysis: As expected, with both Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf) unavailable, Felton was used on offense more than any previous game. The rookie back played a season-high 22 snaps and picked up the first rushing attempts of his career. Meanwhile, D'Ernest Johnson served as the lead back and will remain ahead of Felton on the depth chart leading into Week 8 against the Steelers. By then, Chubb may be ready to play, which would push Felton down to third in the pecking order.

  • Could make impact Thursday

    Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Felton will be part of a three-man backfield Thursday against the Broncos, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: With both Nick Chubb (calf) and Kareem Hunt (calf, IR) unavailable for Thursday's home meeting with Denver, Felton joins presumptive lead back D'Ernest Johnson and John Kelly, who was signed off the team's practice squad Tuesday. Stefanski isn't getting into specifics about expected roles or usage for the trio, merely saying the situation is "fluid." Felton has been used mainly has a receiver and returner during his rookie season, but he could get the first carries of his career. Starting…read more

  • Season-high snap count

    Felton played a season-high 12 snaps on offense and returned two punts for 29 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: Felton moved up the depth chart when Kareem Hunt left the game with a calf injury. Hunt's removal, along with an inactive Nick Chubb (calf), had the Browns finishing the game with D'Ernest Johnson and Felton as their top backs. Cleveland has a quick turnaround this week, so the Felton/Johnson combination could be important when the Browns host the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

  • Two catches in Sunday's loss

    Felton caught both his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The rookie has caught exactly two passes in four of the last five games, although he still has yet to get his first NFL carry. However, with Nick Chubb inactive Sunday due to a calf injury and Kareem Hunt -- who was already dealing with wrist and knee issues -- also leaving the game early with a calf strain, Felton could be poised for a much bigger workload in Week 7 against the Broncos.

  • Likely to have role behind Hunt

    Felton is expected to get some touches behind lead back Kareem Hunt (wrist/knee) in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: With Nick Chubb (calf) sitting out Week 6, Hunt -- who is listed as questionable but expected to play -- will elevate into the clear No. 1 role out of the backfield for the first time all season. Between them, Chubb and Hunt have dominated the touches out of the backfield, accounting for 33.4 per contest through the first five weeks. Per Pelissero, head coach Kevin Stefanski acknowledged that he'll be careful not to run Hunt into the ground, so he should be expected to absorb only a portion of…read more

  • Low impact in loss

    Felton played just three snaps on offense and returned two punts for 17 yards in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Felton did not have a catch or target for the first time since Week 1. The rookie had multiple targets and catches the three games prior to Sunday, but he was barely on the field in a game that seemed like it should have been well-suited to his dynamic offensive skillset. Felton also did not return any kickoffs; that chore went to fellow rookie Anthony Schwartz, who returned five kickoffs for 109 yards.

  • Seeing more targets

    Felton caught two of two targets for 12 yards and returned five punts for 25 yards in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Felton has been limited to just 20 offensive snaps through four games, but the Browns tend to look his way when he enters a game. He's been targeted seven times in those 20 snaps. Felton out-targeted wide receivers Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz on Sunday and has more combined targets than either wideout over the last three weeks.

  • Shows off return skills

    Felton caught two of three targets for 13 yards and returned seven punts for 103 yards in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Felton got an expected bump in playing time on offense with Jarvis Landry (knee) on the injured list -- 11 snaps, an increase of eight plays from Week 2 -- but the rookie had a bigger impact in the return game. Two of his seven returns had Cleveland starting around midfield and led to scores. Landry is out for at least two more weeks, so there will be chances for more offensive output for Felton, who scored a touchdown in Week 2, but his main value is in the return game. He leads the NFL with…read more

  • Role likely to increase sans Landry

    Felton is expected to take on added reps as a slot receiver during the Browns' next three games after Jarvis Landry (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. "We are excited about Demetric," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "He has worked really hard throughout the spring and summer. As you guys have seen, he has been in the running back room and in the wide receiver room."

    Analysis: After playing exclusively on special teams in a Week 1 loss to Kansas City, Felton provided a spark for the Browns on only three offensive snaps in a Week 2 win over the Texans. The rookie sixth-round pick out of UCLA was targeted twice during his limited time on the field, hauling in both looks for 51 yards and gaining most of his real estate after the catch. Though Felton is listed on the Browns' unofficial depth chart as a running back, he has plenty of experience playing out of the slot…read more

  • Records first NFL TD

    Felton secured both targets for 51 yards, returned two kickoffs for 41 yards and ran back three punts for 22 yards in the Browns' 31-21 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Analysis: The hybrid rookie stepped up with Odell Beckham (knee) out of action and Jarvis Landry (knee) exiting the game in the first quarter, making his mark as a receiver with a dynamic 33-yard catch and run midway through the third quarter. Felton's speed is going to make him a factor throughout the season on returns, and his involvement from scrimmage may also grow over the course of the season, especially if Landry's MCL sprain keeps him out for multiple games. Felton will look to build on Sunday's…read more

  • Handles return chores

    Felton returned one kickoff for 13 yards and one punt for four yards in Sunday's 33-29 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Felton and others auditioned for return roles during training camp, but it appears the rookie sixth-round pick out of UCLA won both jobs. He did not play a snap on offense, but as a hyrbid RB/WR, the Browns see him as a potential weapon to be used in special circumstances.

  • Cements roster spot

    Felton had four carries for 15 yards, returned one kickoff for 37 yards and returned one punt for 11 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over Atlanta in preseason Week 3.

    Analysis: Felton's lone kick return set up the Browns at their own 39 to start a drive that ended on downs at the Falcons' three-yard line. If it were a regular season game, it's likely that would have been three points, but head coach Kevin Stefanski took the gamble in a preseason game. Felton's punt return led to a field goal. The versatile Felton flashed early in camp and showed he was worth a roster spot in all three preseason games. He opened Sunday's game as the first kickoff returner, then played…read more

  • Garners nine touches

    Felton rushed eight times for 25 yards and caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 17-13 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Felton entered the game after fellow tailback D'Ernest Johnson, who finished with 59 yards from scrimmage on eight touches. Although Felton was less productive than Johnson, he also chipped in on special teams, returning three punts for 21 yards. In terms of the race to serve as the third option behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, however, John Kelly impressed the most, totaling 79 yards on his 10 touches. Overall, that makes for an interesting contest between Felton and company heading into…read more

  • Gets work as receiver

    Felton recorded four receptions on six targets for 44 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Felton was drafted as a hybrid running back-wide receiver and has gotten work at both positions in camp. However, it was recently reported that he has worked primarily with the receiver group in practice, and that came to fruition in the preseason opener. The highlight of Felton's performance came late in the second quarter when he hauled in a 25-yard reception. Felton's best chance to make the roster is likely as a special teams contributor, though he performed well with his opportunity in his…read more

  • Working primarily with WRs

    Felton began training camp working with the running back group but has mostly been with the wide receivers recently, Scott Petrak of the Medina Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Felton is known for being adept at both positions and could be a unique source of offense for the Browns, although maybe not in 2021. The issue is a path to playing time. He's blocked at running back and wide receiver, but the rookie sixth-round pick also has experience as a returner. He's practiced with the returners in camp and could be a greater asset to the roster than JoJo Natson, who is listed atop the returner depth chart but viewed as a returner only, having played just 30 snaps on…read more

  • Works with receivers Thursday

    Felton worked out with Cleveland's receivers during Thursday's practice session, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Whether Felton working with the receivers was by design or need is not clear, as a few pass-catchers were not on the practice field Thursday. The 2021 sixth-rounder is a hybrid back/receiver that practiced with the running backs Wednesday. The 5-foot-9, 189-pounder could have a hard time making the final roster in either lane, but the Browns are expected to give him many opportunities in preseason games and the joint practices with the Giants on Aug. 19 and 20. Felton could hook on as a…read more

  • Working with running backs

    Felton took part in drills with the Cleveland running backs Wednesday during the first practice of training camp, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Felton has the skill set to play either running back or wide receiver, but the Browns appear content to use him in the former role, at least initially. The rookie sixth-round pick will compete with D'Ernest Johnson for the No. 3 job on a running back depth chart that has Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt cemented as the top two options.
