CLEVELAND (AP) Cleveland Browns wide receiver Ryan Switzer said his 9-month-old son is stable after undergoing surgery to stop bleeding.
Switzer chronicled son Christian's medical situation over the weekend on Twitter, prompting an outpouring of public support.
Switzer's most recent post Sunday came after the operation was completed and he said his son is ''resting.''
On Saturday, Switzer said his son had ''woke up in his blood'' and had tested positive for COVID-19. He said doctors were trying to determine the cause of the bleeding.
In his latest update, Switzer said a gastrointestinal specialist ''found several sites of bleeding'' and samples were sent for a biopsy.
The 26-year-old Switzer spent last season on Cleveland's practice squad. He was drafted by Dallas in 2017 and spent two years with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Switzer initially reached out to his Twitter followers asking for prayers for his son, who he said needed three blood transfusions on Saturday due to low hemoglobin levels.
Switzer said he and his wife, Gabie, were ''overwhelmed by the amount of people who have reached out in support of Christian.''
Houston Texans impending free-agent WR Will Fuller's 'downfield speed' could make him an appealing target for a Cincinnati Bengals offense that ranked 31st in the NFL with 470 deep passing yards in 2020, according to Seth Galina of Pro Football Focus.
Fantasy Spin: Health has been a constant issue, but Fuller his been a big-play weapon and a touchdown machine when on the field. Fuller would add another dimension to the Cincinnati passing attack, but with Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins already in the mix, Fuller would probably be more a high-upside WR3 than a high-volume, go-to option.

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent S Anthony Harris has forced an incompletion on 25.9 percent of his targets since 2018, the best rate among safeties in that span, according to Seth Galina of Pro Football Focus.

Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent TE Hunter Henry could be pursued by the Carolina Panthers to upgrade a passing attack that generated a total of 204 receiving yards from the tight end position in 2020, according to Seth Galina of Pro Football Focus.
Fantasy Spin: Henry has battled injuries throughout his career, but he has delivered TE1 production when he has been on the field. Any team that signs him would presumably use him in a featured role, but landing with a team like Carolina that offers zero competition at the tight end position would raise his floor.

New York Jets impending free-agent WR Breshad Perriman is not expected to re-sign with the Jets this offseason.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce has caught 70 passes of at least 15 yards since the start of the 2019 season, which leads the NFL.
Fantasy Spin: Kelce will continue to be a big part of the passing game for the Chiefs for the foreseeable future. He should be an early-round pick in fantasy leagues and likely will be the first tight end selected.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent WR JuJu Smith-Schuster likely will leave in free agency since the team will not be able to offer him a lucrative contract because of their salary cap situation.
Fantasy Spin: Smith-Schuster should receive plenty of interest in free agency and can be a starter on most teams. He has a chance to be at least a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady is 'getting closer' to a restructured contract with the team, according to a source Saturday, March 6. Brady said he'd 'consider' playing beyond 45 years old.
Fantasy Spin: Good news for dynasty managers who don't yet need to worry about finding a replacement for the future Hall of Famer. So long as the Buccaneers are able to keep the bulk of their receiving corps intact, Brady will be a mid- to low-tier QB1 for at least one more season.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is "right on track" in his efforts to rehab a torn ACL suffered last October. Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry told reporters that Beckham and some other injured Browns players are "all progressing really well" as they prepare for the 2021 season. Beckham will look to return to the fold and help Cleveland build upon their most successful season since returning to the league as an expansion franchise in 1999. Fantasy gamers can no longer count on Beckham as an elite producer but he could wind up as a value in 2021.
