An unexpected health issue for Marquise Goodwin may open up a roster spot for Grant.

Darden's limited snaps in 2022 didn't deter the Browns from placing him above veteran players on the depth chart.

The Browns restructured Grant's deal, increasing his chances of making the roster.

Darden is also listed as a third-team return man, adding to his value to the team.
