Colts' Matt Hazel: Signs with Colts
Hazel signed with the Colts on Sunday.
Hazel's signing comes on the heels of rookie receiver Deon Cain tearing his ACL. Hazel has only played in nine games since coming into the league in 2014, with four of those games coming with Indianapolis last season. The 26-year-old has spent time on the Colts's practice squad as well, meaning he likely faces less of a learning curve with the offensive scheme than some of the other newcomers on the roster.

Browns' Matt Hazel: Signs RFA tender with Browns
Hazel signed his restricted free-agent tender with Cleveland on Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Despite four seasons in the league, Hazel has appeared in just nine career games for the Dolphins, Colts and Browns, respectively.

Browns' Matt Hazel: Absent from injury report
Hazel (hamstring) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Hazel missed the last four games with this hamstring ailment. The fourth-year pro played a total of 11 offensive snaps this season for the Colts, making one catch for one yard. Being listed as the No. 6 wideout in Cleveland keeps Hazel off fantasy radars.

Hazel was a limited participant in practice this week after sitting out last Sunday's loss to the Ravens. The 25-year-old will aim to make his season debut against the Bears, but he's unlikely to play a major role in the passing game even if he's able to suit up.

Browns' Matt Hazel: Questionable for Sunday
Hazel (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
The Browns signed Hazel off the Colts' practice squad earlier this week, but the wideout apparently wasn't fully healthy at the time of his acquisition. Hazel was a limited practice participant throughout the week, but even if the hamstring is deemed a non-issue heading into Sunday, he'll likely be inactive for the contest given his standing as the sixth man on the depth chart at receiver.

Browns' Matt Hazel: Added to Cleveland's roster
The Browns signed Hazel off the Colts' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. Hazel was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.
Hazel will take the spot of fellow receiver Bryce Treggs, who was waived Wednesday in a corresponding move. The Browns likely wouldn't have added Hazel to the 53-man roster if his injury was a serious concern, so it shouldn't impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Instead, Hazel's low standing on the depth chart and lack of familiarity with the playbook will likely prove to be more significant obstacles to him earning an active status for the contest.

Matt Hazel: Waived by Colts

Colts' Matt Hazel: Claimed by Colts
Hazel was claimed by the Colts on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Colts only had five wideouts on their depth chart entering Sunday so the fact that they opted to bring in Hazel shouldn't be surprising to anyone. What would be surprising is if Hazel finds a way to play meaningful snaps with the first-team offense this year. The likelihood of that happening seems low at the given point in time.
