Burleson (hamstring) has reportedly been released by the Browns, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Hamstring woes slowed Burleson in the preseason and the veteran wideout was deemed expendable by the Browns, presumably leaving the team on the lookout for wideout help in the coming days, with Josh Gordon's suspension having been confirmed earlier in the week.

Burleson (hamstring) caught one pass on two targets for 27 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears.

Making his preseason debut, Burleson was able to get involved, working primarily with Johnny Manziel and the second-team offense. He hauled in another pass which was eventually called back due to an illegal formation penalty. He seems to be a near-lock to make the team at this point, and could help pick up some of the targets suspended wideout Josh Gordon leaves behind.

Burleson (hamstring) will play in Thursday's preseason finale, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Burleson returned to practice Monday after missing the entire preseason thus far due to a hamstring injury. As the Browns still await a ruling on Josh Gordon's appeal of a season-long suspension, the team will hope to get Burleson up to speed as quick as possible with the regular season approaching.

Burleson (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, ESPN Cleveland reports.

Burleson has missed all three of the Browns' preseason games thus far due to a hamstring issue. However, with the regular season quickly approaching and Cleveland still awaiting a ruling regarding Josh Gordon's potential suspension, Burleson's return to action represents a welcomed sight. The veteran projects to be a top four receiver for the Browns this season.

Burleson (hamstring) won't play Saturday against the Rams, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Burleson's absence continues, marking his third DNP of the preseason in as many games. Once he's cleared for action, he'll help cover for Josh Gordon, who is awaiting word on his season-long suspension. However, Burleson is coming off back-to-back injury-plagued seasons in which he logged time in just 15 games, recording 66 catches (on 97 targets) for 701 yards and three touchdowns.

Burleson (hamstring) is inactive Monday at Washington, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Burleson continues to be beset by injury, as a hamstring issue will keep him sidelined for a second preseason game in a row. The incoming decision on Josh Gordon's suspension will inform potential owners of the receiver pecking order in Cleveland, but even when healthy, Burleson will have to compete with Miles Austin and Andrew Hawkins, among others, in the Browns' pass-catching corps.

Burleson (hamstring) rode a stationary bike on the side during Friday's practice, and "isn't looking good" for Monday's preseason matchup with the Redskins, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Burleson didn't play in the preseason opener due to the same hamstring issue, and it appears it will keep him out of a second straight contest. The team likely wants to seem him in 11-on-11 action before deploying the veteran in a game, and reaching this goal prior to Monday's exhibition game doesn't seem probable at the moment. Depending on the ruling on Josh Gordon's suspension appeal, Burleson may have an opportunity to earn meaningful looks in the offense this season, but he'll have to get some reps out on the field before coach Mike Pettine will be comfortable sending him out for a heavy snap count.

Burleson (hamstring) won't play in the Browns' preseason opener against the Lions on Saturday, the Plain Dealer reports.

While Burleson's injury doesn't seem to be too serious, it still doesn't make much sense for him to potentially stunt the progress he's made with his hamstring. He'll likely be a game-time decision for the Browns' next preseason contest against the Redskins on Aug. 18.

Burleson (hamstring), who did not practice Thursday, made the trip to Detroit with the Browns, where the team plays on Saturday, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

While Burleson's status for Saturday's contest is undetermined, that he traveled with the team suggests that his injury is not viewed as a major concern at this stage. We'll let you know if that assessment changes.

Burleson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Burleson currently slots in as a second-stringer on the Browns' initial preseason depth chart, but if/when Josh Gordon is handed a suspension by the NFL, Burleson would presumably move up a peg, and join Miles Austin on the first team, with Andrew Hawkins the likely candidate to man the slot for the Browns.

Nate Burleson (arm) is participating in this week's minicamp.

Burleson had his cast removed last week after getting the plate replaced in his forearm earlier in the offseason. He did not suffer a re-break of the bone. Burleson is ticketed for a prominent role in Cleveland, but he's not going to be a fantasy asset in what should be one of the run-heaviest offenses in the league.

Nate Burleson (arm) will have his cast removed this week and expects to be full go for training camp.

The Browns need all the help they can get at receiver right now. Burleson revealed he did not re-break his left arm, but the plate that had previously been inserted needed to be replaced. Burleson, Miles Austin, and Andrew Hawkins would be the frontrunners for receiver duties if the season opened today.

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Browns WR Nate Burleson fractured his left arm during a recent minicamp.

Just a few hours after the Josh Gordon suspension news breaks, the Browns receiving corps takes another punch to the gut. Although Burleson is expected back for training camp, this is the same arm he broke during last year's car accident and the recurring nature of the injury is cause for concern. Without Gordon and Burleson, the Browns top-three wideouts would be Andrew Hawkins, Greg Little and Josh Cooper. It's not a warm welcome for Johnny Manziel.

Browns signed WR Nate Burleson to a one-year contract.

He chose Cleveland over Miami. Burleson, 33 in August, is more of a locker-room than on-field asset at this stage of his career. He posted a 39-461-11.8-1 stat line across nine games in Detroit last season, missing seven with a broken arm. He missed ten games the year before due to a broken leg. Burleson provides reliable hands in the slot, but his playmaking ability evaporated years ago. He'd be best in a fourth receiver role with the Browns.

Free agent Nate Burleson's Dolphins visit has ended, and he will fly to Cleveland this evening.

Per ESPN's Adam Caplan, Burleson's flight to visit the Browns will leave "in a few hours." Burleson is going on age 33 and would be best suited for a No. 3 or 4 receiver role, wherever he lands. The prospective fit in Miami was odd because the Fins have Rishard Matthews behind Brandon Gibson in the slot.

Free agent Nate Burleson will visit the Browns on Saturday.

Burleson has met/is meeting with the Dolphins, but will head to Cleveland next. The Dolphins haven't been letting free-agent visitors get away without a deal this offseason, but Burleson can afford to take his time. The money should be roughly the same wherever he ends up. The Browns are looking for a slot receiver after Davone Bess tanked last season, but there's no guarantee Burleson would be an upgrade on in-house option Josh Cooper. Burleson appeared to have very little left in 2013.

According to NFL Network, free agent WR Nate Burleson will visit the Dolphins.

The Cowboys have expressed interest in free agent Nate Burleson.

Burleson would give Dallas a veteran to compete for snaps behind Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams, but isn't more than a No. 4 wideout at this stage of his career. He has ties to Cowboys OC Scott Linehan and is capable of playing all three receiver spots. Dallas is reportedly leaning toward not signing any free-agent wideouts until after the draft. Burleson shouldn't require more than a non-guaranteed, one-year deal.

The Titans are showing interest in free agent Nate Burleson.

Burleson looked out of gas to be kind down the stretch in Detroit last season, but we suppose he'd be "good in the locker room." Burleson turns 33 in August.

ESPN Dallas' Todd Archer believes signing free agent Nate Burleson would "make sense" for the Cowboys.

Archer notes that Dez Bryant has endured recent back problems, while current Nos. 3 and 4 receivers Cole Beasley and Dwayne Harris "have limitations." (Miles Austin won't be back.) We could see Burleson as a training camp insurance policy on a minimum salary for the Cowboys, but if Dez, Beasley, Terrance Williams, and Harris stay healthy this fall, Burleson probably wouldn't make it.
