Harold Fannin: Everything you need to know

Fannin (undisclosed) hasn't practiced during OTAs or minicamp this spring, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Fannin dealt with a groin injury at the end of the 2025 season, but it's unclear if his continued absence this spring is related. He did take part in a voluntary workout back in April, but the tight end has been off to the side working with the training staff for the past several weeks. Fannin's current issue doesn't appear to be serious, but it's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of training camp next month. He's expected to be a focal point of the Browns' passing offense in 2026 after he posted 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets across 16 regular-season appearances during his rookie campaign.

Fannin (groin) participated in Tuesday's voluntary veteran minicamp practice, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Fannin sat out the Browns' 2025 season finale against the Bengals due to a groin injury, but the tight end's participation in Monday's session illustrates that he's moved past the issue. As the coming campaign approaches, Fannin sits firmly atop his team's TE depth chart, which no longer includes David Njoku, who remains a free agent. As a rookie last year, Fannin recorded a team-high 72 catches (on 107 targets) for 731 yards and six TDs in 16 regular-season contests. With Njoku no longer in the mix, Fannin should have an opportunity to improve on those numbers, health-permitting, given that current reserves Jack Stoll, Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates and Sal Cannella are not likely to command significant volume in Cleveland's offense.

Fannin (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. With David Njoku (knee/personal) also having been ruled out, Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates, along with potentially practice-squad member Sal Cannella, are slated to handle Cleveland's tight end duties Week 18. Fannin thus finishes his impressive rookie campaign with a team-high 72 catches (on 107 targets) for 731 yards and six TDs in 16 regular-season contests. Looking ahead, the 2025 third-rounder is a big part of the Browns' future and thus is in line to maintain fantasy utility next season, regardless of the inevitable personnel changes that are looming for the currently 4-12 team this coming offseason.
