The Bengals have listed nobody at all on the Wednesday report, while the Browns have a bunch of guys on the list.
One important one, if Cleveland has any chance of keeping up in a shootout with Joe Burrow and company, is Cedric Tillman.
Tillman will be the Browns’ WR2 when healthy, behind Jerry Jeudy.

Tillman is entering his third NFL season.
Last year, in just 11 games, he had 29 catches for 339 yards and three touchdowns, improvement in all three categories from his rookie season.
