Cleveland Browns wide receivers Cedric Tillman and DeAndre Carter both could miss multiple weeks with injuries, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday.

Tillman, who has started all four games at wide receiver this season, is dealing with a hamstring injury, while Carter, the team's primary return man, has a knee injury.

Both players are at least ruled out through Sunday's game in England against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Stefanski.

Tillman, 25, has 11 receptions for 106 yards and two touchdowns this season. In three seasons with the Browns, he has 61 receptions for 669 yards and five TDs over 29 games (13 starts).

Carter, 32, has not played on offense this season. He has 11 kickoff returns for 274 yards, while also making six punt returns. In eight NFL seasons with seven different teams, he has 117 receptions for 1,331 yards and six TDs in 111 games (21 starts). He had a kickoff return for a touchdown in 2021 with the Washington Commanders.
