The Cleveland Browns remained without many marquee names on Thursday. Defensive stars Jadeveon Clowney and Denzel Ward missed a second practice this week. Wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones also missed his second practice and center JC Tretter moved from limited participant to did not practice.
Limited Participation – Steelers: LB Melvin Ingram (Groin), TE Eric Ebron (Hamstring)
Disgruntled contributors Melvin Ingram and Eric Ebron both participated in limited rolls on Thursday. Ingram and Ebron have both expressed frustration with decreased playing time over recent weeks and could move by next week’s trade deadline. Ebron is also a new addition to the injury report.
Limited Participation – Browns: WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Shoulder), RB Nick Chubb (Calf), OT Jack Conklin (Knee), CB A.J. Green (Groin), OG Blake Hance (Elbow), QB Baker Mayfield (Shoulder), WR Jarvis Landry (Knee), LB Malcolm Smith (Abdomen), OT Jedrick Wills Jr. (Ankle), DT Malik Jackson (Knee), DE Takkarist McKinley (Groin)
The Browns have 11 players listed as limited participants, including newly added defensive end Takkarist McKinley. Wide receiver Jarvis Landry and defensive tackle Malik Jackson return as limited participants at Thursday’s practice after missing Wednesday. The Browns will hope for signs of improvement with many starters still on the injury list.
Full Participation – Steelers: QB Ben Roethlisberger (Pectoral/Hip), WR Chase Claypool (Hamstring), RB Anthony McFarland Jr. (Knee), OT Zach Banner (Knee)
Starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger continues to manage his multiple injuries but told reporters this week he feels healthier as he returns as a full participant. Wide receiver Chase Claypool also returned as a full participant, expecting an increased roll following JuJu Smith-Schuster’s season-ending injury. Reserve running back Antony McFarland Jr. and offensive tackle Zach Banner both dealt with knee injuries, but fully participated in Wednesday and Thursday practices.
Full Participation – Browns: LB Tony Fields II (Illness), LB Mack Wilson (Calf)
The Cleveland Browns add linebackers Tony Fields II and Mack Wilson as full participants after limited participation on Wednesday. This news provides the Browns with more hope about its linebacker core, which started the week with three limited players.
