Gabriel (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

The Browns opened Gabriel's 21-day return window on Oct. 6. If the second-year quarterback is not activated by Tuesday's deadline, he will be forced to spend the remainder of the 2026 season on IR. The Browns have been struggling to make decisions at quarterback, so it remains unclear if the team will activate him, keep him stashed on IR, or waive him once a judgment call is forced.

Thornton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Thornton logged a trio of full practices during Week 7 prep, but head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters Friday that the second-year wide receiver will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week. Thornton's 21-day practice window opened Oct. 7, and he would be forced to miss the rest of the 2026 season if the Raiders do not activate him from IR by Wednesday.

McDuffie (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Despite not practicing all week, head coach Sean McVay indicated Friday that McDuffie has a chance to return from a one-game absence due to a groin injury. In his absence, Jaylen Watson and Josh Wallace will serve as the Rams' starting outside cornerbacks for Sunday's matchup. McDuffie's next chance to play is Week 8 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Graham (knee/ankle) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Graham missed consecutive games due to knee and ankle injuries but is ready to return to the field in Week 7. The second-year defensive tackle is all set to suit up alongside Maliek Collins in the contest, leaving Adin Huntington as the sole reserve option on the 53-man roster.

Marks is lined up to start at running back against the Giants on Sunday with David Montgomery (groin) ruled out.

With Montgomery sidelined this past Sunday against Jacksonville in London, Marks put up a 15-56-0 rushing line while catching two of three targets for 25 yards. That production was very similar to the previous week versus Tennessee, when Marks played the bulk of Houston's offensive snaps due to Montgomery's early exit and posted a 15-62-0 rushing line along with a 4-23-0 receiving line. Montgomery has yet to practice since getting hurt, so it's possible Marks could lead the backfield again Week 8 versus the Chargers, though next week's practice reports will shed more light on that scenario.

Delpit (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Coach Todd Monken said Delpit is close to clearing concussion protocol and hopes he will be cleared Saturday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. The strong safety will need full vetting and approval from one of the NFL's independent neurologists to suit up for Sunday's contest. If Delpit cannot play, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren will likely start at strong safety for the Browns as they take on the Titans.

Landman (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Landman entered the league's concussion protocol following the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals, and he was unable to practice all week. His next chance to play is Week 8 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 1, though he would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at playing in that contest. The Rams may turn to Grant Stuard, Shaun Dolac or practice squad linebacker Eric Kendricks in Landman's absence.

Hall (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Hall will miss his third consecutive game with an ankle injury he suffered against the Steelers in Week 4. The defensive tackle's absence matters less now that Mason Graham has returned to the lineup to start alongside Maliek Collins. Hall's persistent injury means that Adin Huntington remains the only rotational defensive lineman on the 53-man roster.

Williams (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans but expressed optimism Friday that he would play, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Williams didn't practice Thursday due to a neck injury, but he was cleared to return for Friday's session, for which he was listed as a limited participant. The veteran linebacker told reporters that he was at full speed during Friday's practice, but his official status may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which is when the Browns will announce their list of inactive players. If Williams cannot play, then Justin Jefferson and Winston Reid would be the top candidates to start alongside Carson Schwesinger and Easton Mascarenas-Arnold at linebacker.

Davis (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Davis will remain on injured reserve through the Browns' Sunday contest against the Titans. The defensive tackle's 21-day practice window opened Oct. 6, meaning that if he is not activated by Tuesday, he will need to remain on IR for the rest of the 2026 season.
