Bradley (undisclosed) was removed from the Steelers' injured reserve Thursday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
There is not a lot of clarity when it comes to the nature of Bradley's injury, but he will now be free to look for a new destination once he is back to full health. The 26-year-old last saw regular-season action with the Browns in 2021.

Rotowire

Steelers' Ja'Marcus Bradley: Gets new contract from Pittsburgh
Rotowire
The Steelers signed Bradley to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Bradley spent the majority of the 2022 regular season unsigned until joining up with the Steelers' practice squad Nov. 23. While he never suited up for Pittsburgh, it appears the 26-year-old made enough of an impression to earn a prospective contract heading into the 2023 offseason. Bradley has yet to make his NFL debut.

Ja'Marcus Bradley: Waived by Cleveland
Rotowire
The Browns waived Bradley on Monday.
Bradley played 33 offensive snaps in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears and caught both of his passes for 26 yards.

Browns' Ja'Marcus Bradley: Gets first crack as returner
Rotowire
Bradley returned two kickoffs for 31 yards and two punts for five yards in Friday's 24-13 win over Jacksonville in preseason action.
Bradley put the Browns in a hole on the opening kickoff, getting stuffed inside the 15, and the Deshaun Watson-led offense followed with an uninspiring opening series. Bradley got the first crack at replacing Jakeem Grant (Achilles) in the return game, although the Browns are expected to cycle in others over the remaining weeks before the regular season kicks off Sept. 11 at Carolina. Demetric Felton, D'Ernest Johnson and possibly Anthony Schwartz could also challenge for the lead job.

Browns' Ja'Marcus Bradley: Tendered by Cleveland
Rotowire
The Browns tendered Bradley's contract Monday.
An exclusive rights free agent this offseason, the 25-year-old wideout made five appearances for the Browns last year and caught all four of his targets for 64 yards. He also operated as the team's kick returner during the final week of the regular season, returning two kicks for 49 yards.

Browns' Ja'Marcus Bradley: Returns kicks in Week 18
Rotowire
Bradley was not targeted and returned two kicks for 49 yards in Week 18's 21-16 win over Cincinnati.
Bradley played just three snaps on offense, but he was used as the primary kick returner, taking over a role that had been filled by Anthony Schwartz and Demetric Felton. Bradley appeared in five games for the Browns after spending most of the season on the team's practice squad. The second-year wideout has been with Cleveland since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2020, and he could re-up with the team for 2022, giving the team a depth receiver with system knowledge that has kick-return experience.

Browns' Ja'Marcus Bradley: No run on offense
Rotowire
Bradley played nine snaps on special teams and did not appear on offense in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Raiders.
Bradley had appeared in two previous games and caught four of four targets for 64 yards, but he was down the depth chart Monday in a game that Cleveland was short receiving options due to an outbreak of COVID-19. Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones were the main players at wide receiver, as Jarvis Landry was on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Browns' Ja'Marcus Bradley: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
Bradley has been added to the Browns' active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Raiders.
The Browns are presently without two tight ends (Austin Hooper and David Njoku) and one wide receiver (Jarvis Landry) that are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, while they deal with injuries to tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle), wideout Anthony Schwartz (concussion) and running back Kareem Hunt (ankle). With so much in flux as the team prepares for Week 15, it makes sense to have Bradley available. If on the active roster Saturday, Bradley could serve as the third wideout behind Donovan Peoples-Jones and Rashard Higgins.

Ja'Marcus Bradley: Cut by Browns
Rotowire
Bradley has been waived by the Browns, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Bradley was expected to serve as the Browns' No. 3 wideout in Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, so this news is somewhat surprising. He started the season on the team's practice squad and will presumably land back there should he ultimately go unclaimed off waivers. Pass catcher and potential kick returner JoJo Natson was elevated to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move.

Browns' Ja'Marcus Bradley: Signed from practice squad
Rotowire

The wide receiver has yet to play with the Browns this season after playing in three contests in 2020, catching five balls for 60 yards. With Odell Beckham being released, Bradley may have an opportunity to carve out a consistent spot on the active roster.

Rotowire
Cleveland waived Bradley on Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Ja'Marcus Bradley: Status unknown entering offseason
Rotowire
Bradley remained on the practice squad for Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Chiefs.
Bradley, who spent most of the season on the practice squad, was active for a few games toward the end of the season and had five catches, 11 targets and 60 yards -- all coming in one game against the Jets when Cleveland was missing its top four wideouts due to COVID-19 protocols. The Browns can ink him to a reserve/future contract. If not, Bradley is free to sign anywhere.

Ja'Marcus Bradley: Shuffles to practice squad
Rotowire
Bradley reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Bradley didn't suit up in Sunday's wild-card win over the Steelers. The undrafted rookie out of Louisiana played just three regular-season games, receiving all 11 of his targets in a Week 16 loss to the Jets in which almost all of the Browns' wideouts were in COVID-19 protocol. The 24-year-old caught five passes for 60 yards in that game. He'll reside on the practice squad for now, but he could be called back up for the AFC divisional round with a daunting matchup against the Chiefs on tap.

Browns' Ja'Marcus Bradley: Could be active Sunday
Rotowire
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski included Bradley as an option to serve as the third wideout for Sunday's playoff opener against the Steelers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
The Browns will be without KhaDarel Hodge (reserve/COVID-19), and Donovan Peoples-Jones (concussion) is questionable heading into Sunday night's game. Bradley and Marvin Hall, another name mentioned by Stefanski, played extensively in Week 16 when Cleveland's top four wide receivers were unavailable while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The coach also talked about running back Kareem Hunt lining up at wide receiver and discussed Alexander Hollins, a wide receiver signed off the Vikings' practice squad Dec. 28.
