Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Hines (knee) is doing "very well" and could be activated from the non-football injury list ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Hines has yet to play this season while he continues to recover from the torn ACL in his left knee that he suffered last summer. However, he was cleared to resume practicing Oct. 2 and seems to have responded well to taking reps over the past couple of weeks. The Browns will likely wait and see if Hines can upgrade to full participation in practice this week before making a ruling on his status for Sunday.
