Michael Woods II Hauls In Two Touchdowns In Preseason Finale
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Michael Woods II had a big night in his team's 37-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in preseason action on Saturday. Woods caught five of his nine targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the contest. The veteran wideout did his damage in the second half, catching both of his touchdowns from Tyler Huntley after halftime as he made a final push for a roster spot on Saturday. Woods wound up catching seven passes for 75 yards and two scores in preseason action for the Browns this year. If he doesn't make the Browns' final roster he could be a candidate to be added to the team's practice squad.
A Cleveland Browns spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Michael Woods II (Achilles) suffered a ruptured Achilles and will need surgery, likely causing him to miss all of the 2023 season. Woods suffered the devastating injury recently while working out in Texas with quarterback Deshaun Watson. It's a tough break for last year's sixth-round pick and is a blow to Cleveland's depth at the receiver position. The 23-year-old caught only five of 10 targets for 45 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games in his rookie season. Thankfully for the Browns, they added some more wideout depth this offseason via trade (Elijah Moore) and free agency (Marquise Goodwin).
The Cleveland Browns are concerned that wide receiver Michael Woods II (Achilles) might have torn his Achilles while working out with quarterback Deshaun Watson in Texas, according to league sources. Woods was a sixth-round pick by the Browns in last year's draft and played in 10 games in his rookie season in 2022, catching five of his 10 targets for 45 yards and no touchdowns. A torn Achilles would mean that the 23-year-old could miss all of the 2023 regular season. Heading into his second NFL season, Woods was hoping to have a bigger role as receiver depth in Cleveland behind the likes of Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Elijah Moore, Anthony Schwartz, Marquise Goodwin and David Bell.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Michael Woods II (illness, hamstring) won't play on Sunday at Carolina. Woods was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft and did enough during training camp to crack the active roster. However, that still won't make him an attractive fantasy option once he's healthy. Yet, the 22-year-old is at least worth a stash in dynasty leagues, especially if he can carve out a meaningful role during the year.
