Rotowire
Collins (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Harden (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Browns' Daniel Thomas: Nursing ankle injury
Rotowire
Thomas (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Thomas may have tweaked his ankle in Week 7 against the Titans, and his injury limited his practice reps during Week 8 prep. He's mostly contributed on special teams, but his absence would also mean less depth in the secondary for Sunday's AFC North showdown.

Rotowire
Harden (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Harden was limited in practice all week by a hamstring injury that he picked up in the Browns' Week 7 win over the Titans. Mekhi Blackmon and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren figure to be the top candidates for more defensive snaps in the secondary if Harden is not cleared to play in Sunday's AFC North tilt.

Rotowire
Verse (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Verse opened Week 8 prep with a DNP due to a knee injury, but his full practice Friday was enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Sunday's AFC North showdown. The third-year pro has 17 tackles (10 solo) through seven regular-season games and has yet to record a sack in his first year with the Browns after accumulating 12.0 sacks over his first two NFL seasons with the Rams.

Rotowire
Harden (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Browns' Kalia Davis: Done for 2026
Rotowire
Davis (quadriceps) will spend the rest of the 2026 season on injured reserve after his 21-day practice window expired Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Davis injured his quad during training camp in late July and started the regular season on IR. His 21-day window opened Oct. 6, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery to warrant his removal from IR. That means that the 2022 sixth-rounder will be sidelined for the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.

Browns' Quincy Williams: Green light for Week 7
Rotowire
Williams (neck) is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee.
Williams was limited in Friday's practice, an upgrade from his inactivity both Wednesday and Thursday.

Williams has tallied at least six total tackles in four of his last five games.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Good to go against Tennessee
Rotowire
Ward (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Ward popped up on Friday's injury report due to a hand injury, logging a limited session in the process. A late addition to the injury report isn't typically a good sign, but the veteran cornerback has been given the green light to play in Sunday's road game. Ward has 25 tackles (15 solo), three pass defenses (including one interception) and two forced fumbles through six regular-season games.

Browns' Grant Delpit: Questionable with concussion
Rotowire
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.

Browns' Mike Hall: Ruled out for Week 7
Rotowire
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.
