Could return Sunday Hall (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Hall must still be activated to Cleveland's active roster in order to play Sunday; however, he appears to be trending toward suiting up after upgrading to a full practice session Friday. If the rookie defensive tackle is sidelined for the fifth consecutive game in Week 15, expect Jowon Briggs to serve as the Browns' top backup interior defensive lineman.

Ready to rock Thrash (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Thrash upgraded to full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, indicating that he's moved past his shoulder injury in time for Sunday's contest. Expect the rookie wideout from Louisville to serve as the Browns' No. 4 wide receiver in Week 15, playing behind Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and Michael Woods.

Hopes to play Sunday Njoku, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, said Friday that he's dealing with tightness in his calf but hopes to play this weekend, Scott Petrak of...

Impact After coach Kevin Stefanski deemed Njoku day-to-day due to a hamstring injury Wednesday, the tight end proceeded to sit out all three Week 15 practices. The Browns are keeping the door open for Njoku to suit up this weekend, and he even noted Friday that the team will have a better idea of his status Sunday morning, implying his availability will be tied to a pregame workout. Ultimately, Cleveland will reveal whether or not Njoku will be able to play about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable to face Kansas City Njoku (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com and Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram report.

Impact Njoku didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and also wasn't spotted at Friday's session, but the tight end evidently has a chance to suit up Sunday. Look for added context regarding his Week 15 status to arrive prior to the Browns' 1:00 ET kickoff, but heading into the weekend, Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart are the team's top available TE options.

Won't play Sunday Tillman (concussion) will be out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com and Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram report.

Impact Per Petrak, coach Kevin Stefanski relayed Friday that Tillman -- who practiced in a limited capacity this week -- didn't clear the NFL's concussion protocol. With Tillman still sidelined and tight end David Njoku (hamstring) listed as questionable, the Browns' top healthy pass catchers heading into the weekend are Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Njoku (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Njoku also missed practiced Wednesday and Thursday, and the tight end's continued absence Friday doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Chiefs. If Njoku is ruled out for the contest, Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart would be in line to see added Week 15 snaps, with Tre' McKitty and Cameron Latu representing potential practice-squad elevations.

Thrash has appeared in five games and on 50 offensive snaps this season, making three catches for 22 yards and no scores. With Cedric Tillman (concussion) returning to practice this week.

Remains limited Thursday Tillman (concussion) was limited at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Tillman was also limited Wednesday, but he'll have one more chance to practice fully before Week 15 injury designations are assigned. Tillman has missed the Browns' last two games, but his ability to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, suggests that he has a chance to gain clearance to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

Another missed practice Njoku (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Back-to-back absences from practice cloud Njoku's status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, with offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey noting Thursday that if the Browns' top tight end is unavailable this weekend, the team would employ a committee approach at the position. In that scenario, Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart would see added Week 15 opportunities, with Tre' McKitty and Cameron Latu being potential practice squad elevations.

Will come off IR Harden (shin) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Harden, who hasn't played since Week 1, was designated to return Nov. 27. He's still in the 21-day window, but with Greg Newsome (hamstring) placed on injured reserve this week, there's a need for additional bodies in the secondary. Cameron Mitchell will start in place of Newsome, while Harden provides depth.

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Filling in at slot CB Mitchell will replace Greg Newsome (hamstring) as the slot cornerback in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Newsome injured his hamstring late in last Sunday's loss to the Steelers and eventually landed on injured reserve. Mitchell, a fifth-round draft pick in 2023, was in a similar position during his rookie season, filling in for injured starters late in the season. He recorded 18 tackles, 1.0 sacks and two passes defensed last season and has played all 13 games in a depth role in 2024.

Returns to practice Kamara (concussion) was a limited participant in Cleveland's practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Kamara has missed the team's past two games due to a concussion but managed to return to practice Wednesday. However, the 26-year-old will still have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be able to play Sunday versus Kansas City.

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Ford (concussion) was a limited participant in Cleveland's practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Ford is still in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during the team's Week 14 loss versus the Steelers. While the 29-year-old will look to be good to go for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, if he ends up being unable to play, Chigozie Anusiem would likely see increased playing time.

Limited Wednesday Thrash (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Thrash was inactive for the Browns' Week 14 loss to the Steelers after registering a DNP/LP/LP practice schedule prior to the game. If the 2024 fifth-round pick from Louisville is forced to miss his second consecutive game in Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs due to this shoulder injury, expect Michael Woods to have an expanded role in Cleveland's offense.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In line for limited practice Tillman (concussion) is slated to return to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Tillman has missed the past two games, but after not practicing last week the wideout's return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity, has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Tillman's potential return arrives at an opportune time, with fellow key pass catcher David Njoku dealing with a hamstring issue that could impact his Week 15 status.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in practice Wednesday Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Tillman (concussion) will participate in practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tillman has missed Cleveland's last two games and didn't practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 14, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field Wednesday. In order to suit up Sunday versus the Chiefs, though, Tillman will need to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist.

Pressure mounting? Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Hopkins will continue to handing starting reps, but the team "will work through" continuing evaluations at the kicker position...

Impact Hopkins missed two field-goal attempts during Cleveland's 27-14 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 14, and across 13 appearances this season he's converted just 16 of 25 attempts. The veteran's current 64 percent conversion rate stands as the worst mark of his career by a significant margin. The Browns signed kicker Riley Patterson to the practice squad on Tuesday, an indication that continued struggles on Hopkins' part could lead to a change at the position.
