Reaches injury settlement
Published: 2024-08-22
Atlanta released Grant (undisclosed) from the reserve/injured list Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Grant missed all of 2023 due to a ruptured patellar tendon that he sustained in the Browns' preseason finale against the Chiefs. He was able to catch on with the Falcons on Aug. 10, but he placed on the team's injured reserve five days later due to an unspecified injury. Now that an injury settlement has been reached, the 2016 sixth-round wide receiver will have an opportunity to sign with another team once he is fully healthy.

Placed on IR
Published: 2024-08-15
Grant (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Thursday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
The wide receiver needs to reach an injury settlement with the team to play this season. Grant signed with Atlanta on Aug. 10 and was competing for a return specialist role. The veteran last saw NFL action in 2021 with Chicago and Miami, recording 11 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns.
Catches on with Atlanta
Published: 2024-08-10
The Falcons signed Grant to a one-year deal Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Grant missed all of 2023 after suffering a ruptured patellar tendon in the preseason. He had a tryout with the Giants in July, but he will now head to Atlanta to compete for a return specialist role with the Falcons. His last full season was in 2021, when he played 15 regular-season games between the Dolphins and Bears, accumulating 250 punt return yards and one touchdown while adding 11 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns.
Visits Giants for tryout

New York hosted Grant (knee) for a tryout Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Grant appears back to full health after having suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon last preseason. The special-teams ace hasn't suited up for regular-season action since 2021, when he logged appearances for both the Bears and Dolphins.

Grant (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Browns on Sunday.
Grant suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. He was set to return kicks for the team, but now that he's out for the 2023 season, the Browns will have to look elsewhere to fulfill those duties.
Done for season
Published: 2023-08-27
Grant suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs and is out for the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Grant was expected to be Cleveland's return man this season, but instead, the veteran wideout will need to spend the 2023 campaign recovering. The Browns will now likely turn to Donovan Peoples-Jones and Jerome Ford to handle those duties.
Suffers significant injury
Published: 2023-08-26
Grant sustained a potential broken patella in his knee during Saturday's 33-32 preseason loss to the Chiefs, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Grant is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine whether his patella is possibly broken or torn, as a torn patella could sideline him for the entire 2023 campaign. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski also expressed Saturday that he feels horrible for Grant, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, likely indicating that this injury will sideline for an extended period of time either way. The 5-foot-7 slot receiver hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game during his career, but he has accumulated two kick-return touchdowns and four punt-return touchdowns over the past six seasons. Should Grant miss significant playing time, then either Donovan Peoples-Jones could step up as the Browns' primary punt returner while Jerome Ford, who is questionable for Week 1 with a hamstring injury, would likely take over kick-return duties.
Suffers leg injury

Grant exited Saturday's preseason finale after suffering an apparent leg injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer
The Browns' team doctors had to put an air cast on Grant following the injury according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network, which indicates this is a serious issue. Aside from an 11 game stint with the Bears, the veteran returner spent most of his six-year career in Miami. He was looking for a fresh start in Cleveland and was expected to return both kicks and punts for the team before suffering this injury. It remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined.
Will return kicks Saturday
Published: 2023-08-24
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Grant will return kickoffs and punts during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Grant has not yet appeared in any of the Browns' preseason games while he was brought along slowly from an Achilles injury. Despite not appearing in game action, Grant has been a full practice participant and often taken the first (and sometimes only) reps as the returner in practice. Stefanski said he doesn't need to see Grant on offense before making a roster decision, so it appears that Grant will secure a roster spot heading into the regular season. The back end of the wideout depth chart remains murky with injuries to Marquise Goodwin (illness), Jaleon Darden (leg) and Anthony Schwartz (hamstring).
