The Browns have designated Corey Coleman to return from injured reserve. The wide receiver has been out of action since suffering a fracture in his hand in mid-September. He’ll participate in elements of Monday’s practice with an eye on practicing in full in the coming days. 
Coleman has suffered a broken hand in each of his two NFL seasons. The latest mishap came with a six-to-eight week timeframe for recovery, making a temporary IR stint the logical option.
The 0-8 Browns badly need Coleman on the field. So far this year, high-priced free agent acquisition Kenny Britt has managed just ten grabs for 128 yards and one touchdown, placing him seventh amongst Cleveland players in receiving yards. At the top of the list is converted running back Duke Johnson with 324 yards from receptions. For reference, Johnson’s 324 receiving yards place him 66th overall in the the NFL right now.
The Browns’ search for their first win of 2017 will continue with Sunday’s game against the Lions. Coleman won’t be on the field for that contest, but the Browns hope to have him out there before long.
When is the earliest he could come back. Is he ineligible to play this week or is that due to the injury not being fully healed?
Corey Coleman is probably a better baseball player then a Football player. Its not like he is going to get open or actually catch the ball. Bad Draft Choice. Considering they could have had Wentz, Goff, Elliott, Bosa, or someone who can actually catch the ball. Plus the Browns QBs either hold the ball too long or have no time to throw the ball since they need a LT, a Center, and a RT. The Browns have a Fear of drafting players from Ohio State and guys who are actually good. Best Receiver Michael Thomas from Ohio State from the draft that produced Corey Coleman and all the other non producing Receivers the Browns took. They could have taken a Feature RB.
Woopee!!!!!!!!! So he can drop some more passes and not get open. They need to fast track Josh Gordon back even if he is out of Shape he is probably better then all of the Browns Current Wideouts combined.
