Browns' Receiver Room Enters Camp With One Proven Option and Not Much Behind It

Aaron Anderson is gone, waived Tuesday with an injury designation after showing enough in early camp practices to generate some genuine buzz. He was an undrafted rookie, so the margin for error was always thin, but his exit matters because it removes one of the few names competing for snaps behind Jerry Jeudy. The depth chart at receiver now lists Tylan Wallace and Malachi Corley behind Jeudy, and neither has meaningful production on file from last season.

Jeudy is the one receiver who played every game in 2025 and held up as a consistent target. Harold Fannin Jr. is active and healthy, which helps — he was the team's most productive pass-catcher last year — but he's a tight end. The wide receiver group itself has no established second option. That's not a new problem; it was flagged all offseason. Anderson's injury just made it more visible.

I noted this same gap when Anderson was waived earlier today. The Browns have been methodical about addressing the secondary — Ward's extension, Delpit's extension, Tyler Hall added just yesterday — but the receiver room hasn't seen that same attention. Whether Berry moves to add a body at wideout before the roster deadline is the question worth watching over the next week or so.
