Cleveland Browns training camp 2026: WR preview, Part 2 – Filling out the back end

By admin — In News — July 17, 2026

   ​The Cleveland Browns have 12 wide receivers in training camp, so we split up our receiver preview into two parts. You can catch up on Part 1 here. For Part 2 below, surely there is one gem who will rise above the rest to stick around?Height: 6-0 | Weight: 190 lbs | Age: 25Experience: 3 years | College: LouisvilleJamari Thrash was a 5th round pick by the Browns in 2024. He barely played as a rookie, but in training camp last year, he seemed to be doing well to go along with a nice preseason. Then, Isaiah Bond was signed and immediately moved ahead of Thrash it seemed like.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThrash caught 10 passes for 107 yards last year, but by midseason, he was inactive the rest of the year. In December, the team even waived him for a week before adding him back to the roster. He could benefit from the fresh eyes of a new coaching staff, so one could argue that he’s just as much in competition for that fourth receiving role as the likes of Cedric Tillman, Isaiah Bond, and Malachi Corley. But I’m expecting this to end up being the end of his time with Cleveland, or a practice squad candidate.Final Roster Odds: 10%Height: 5-11 | Weight: 200 lbs | Age: 27Experience: 6 years | College: Oklahoma StateTylan Wallace was a 4th round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2021, so there’s one of the team’s few ties to new head coach Todd Monken. Don’t expect his offensive production alone to win him a roster spot, though. In 5 years with Baltimore, Wallace had 22 catches for 305 yards and 2 touchdowns.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWallace is one of the candidates this year to be a team’s, “He’s a receiver, but he really factors in on special teams.” With how bad the Browns were on special teams defense this year, besides a new special teams coach coming in, they also needed fresh personnel. Wallace isn’t known as an ace per se, but he did have 23 special teams tackles in 5 years, including 8 last year. He also has a little bit of NFL experience returning punts and kickoffs, although he was not in that role regularly with Baltimore.Final Roster Odds: 25%Height: 5-8 | Weight: 171 lbs | Age: 23Experience: 2 years | College: South CarolinaI had a thing for Gage Larvadain last year. As an undrafted free agent, he made some nice plays in training camp and led the team with 9 catches for 94 yards and 1 touchdown, 2 rushes for 20 yards (including 1 touchdown), and had 10 punt returns. I never realized how small he was until doing this write-up, but he didn’t play like a 5-8, 171 lbs receiver.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDuring the regular season, Larvadain ended up becoming the team’s primary punt returner, finishing with 24 returns for 167 yards (7.0 yards per return). He was worked into some reps at receiver too, logging 7 catches for 71 yards and running 1 time for 3 yards. I’ll still be rooting for Larvadain in this year’s camp, but he (along with the other guys below) face an uphill battle at tryin
