Works on side Njoku (ankle) was part of a group of players that worked off to the side with trainers during Wednesday's practice session, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact Njoku missed the Browns' previous game before the team's bye, and his status remains uncertain heading into Sunday's contest in Miami. While the tight end and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (knee) worked out on the side Wednesday, both were officially listed as non-participants on Cleveland's injury report, with Easterling noting that head coach Kevin Stefanski remains non-committal about either player's Week 10 status.

Set to miss practice Wednesday Njoku (ankle) isn't in line to practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact When previously asked if he would be able to play this coming Sunday against the Dolphins, the tight end told Cabot that he expected to be available. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski told Cabot on Wednesday that he isn't sure Njoku will be able to return to action this weekend. In any case, Njoku's absence in the Browns' first post-bye practice suggests that his status will need to be monitored closely ahead of the Week 10 game in Miami. In his absence during the Browns' 32-13 win over the Bengals in Week 8, Harrison Bryant and Pharaoh Brown saw added snaps at tight end, though neither player recorded a catch in the contest.

Misses practice Wednesday Owusu-Koramoah (knee) was unavailable for Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact Owusu-Koramoah was inactive for the Browns' last contest in Week 8 versus the Bengals while nursing a knee injury he suffered the week prior against Baltimore. The linebacker remains hobbled by the injury now in Week 10 following Cleveland's bye week and can be considered questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If he's unable to go, Jordan Kunaszyk will likely see a slight uptick in usage once again.

Not on field Monday Owusu-Koramoah (knee) was not on the field for Monday's workout, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact Owusu-Koramoah missed the Browns' win over the Bengals in Week 8 before the bye due to a knee injury suffered in Week 7's loss to the Ravens. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski was noncommittal when asked about the linebacker's availability for Sunday's meeting with the Dolphins.

Returns to practice after bye Ward (concussion) was present at practice Monday ahead of Sunday's game at Miami, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Impact It's the first time Ward has been at practice since Week 5, when a concussion forced him out of a loss versus the Chargers early. The update suggests the two-time Pro Bowler may be able to play in Week 10, but if not, Greedy Williams and A.J. Green should continue to fill in on the boundaries.

Back at practice after bye Teller (calf) was present at practice Monday ahead of Sunday's game at Miami, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Impact It's the first time Teller has been at practice since Week 6, when a calf injury forced him out of a loss versus New England early. The update suggests the Pro Bowler may be able to play in Week 10, but if not, Hjalte Froholdt should continue to fill it at guard.

Plans on playing in Week 10 Njoku (ankle) plans on playing Sunday against the Dolphins, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Njoku was ruled out for Week 8 due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7. The tight end appears to have benefitted from the team's Week 9 bye and is planning on playing in Week 10. After a slow start to his career, Njoku has developed as a pass catcher over the last two campaigns and has 34 receptions for 418 yards across seven appearances this season, putting him on pace to shatter his career-high numbers (36 receptions for 475 yards) from a year ago.

Coming back from hamstring injury Cleveland designated Winovich (hamstring) to return from its injured reserve list Monday ahead of Sunday's game at Miami.
Impact Winovich was placed on the injured reserve list ahead of Week 3 with a hamstring injury that had been bothering him since the preseason, but it now appears he's nearly ready to return to action after missing the Browns' last six contests. Once he's back, he'll rotate in behind Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney on the edge.

Designated to return from IR Ford (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday.
Impact The Browns now have a 21-day window to either activate Ford or leave him on IR for the remainder of the season. The running back has been out since suffering a left ankle injury in Week 4 versus the Falcons and would likely slide back into a prominent role as a return specialist for Cleveland once healthy.

Deshaun Watson to start vs. Texans after suspension, GM says
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry expects suspended quarterback Deshaun Watson to play on Dec. 4 in Houston — against his former team — when his 11-game ban ends for vi...NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Still on track for Week 13 start Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Wednesday that Watson (suspension) will start Week 13 against the Texans on Dec. 4, the first game the quarterback will be eligible to make...
Impact Though Berry noted that fill-in starter Jacoby Brissett has been "everything we hoped" while directing the offense through the team's first eight games, the Browns didn't trade for Watson and then sign him to a lavish extension to have him sit on the bench. Berry's comments thus don't come as a surprise, but they at least indicate that Watson has been able to stay on track in his preparation for returning to the field since he began serving his 11-game suspension following the preseason. Per the terms of his suspension, Watson was able to return to the Browns' team facility Oct. 10 to take part in meetings and workouts, but he's not eligible to resume practicing until Week 11. Assuming the Browns' plan to have him start Week 13 doesn't change, Watson will be making his first regular-season appearance since Jan. 3, 2021, as he sat out the entire past season while he was still a member of the Texans.

Second-leading tackler Monday Emerson collected nine tackles (six solo) and two passes defended in Monday's 32-13 win against the Browns.
Impact The 22-year-old logged a season high in tackles as starting cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) missed his third-straight game Monday. Emerson also finished with a team-high two passes defended in this contest. The rookie third-round pick has totaled 19 tackles (16 solo), one sack and four passes defended while playing nearly every defensive snap since Week 6; though, should Ward return following Cleveland's bye week, Emerson's playing time could take a step back against Miami on Sunday, Nov. 13.

Notches first sack with Cleveland Jones recorded five tackles (three solo) and a sack during Monday's 32-13 win over the Bengals.
Impact Jones contributed one of the five sacks on quarterback Joe Burrow on Monday night. The 2017 Pro Bowler also played 77 percent of Cleveland's defensive snaps while starting for the first time with his new team. Jones has recorded 10 tackles over his first two games with the Browns, and he is expected to continue playing a prominent role during the team's next contest against Miami on Sunday, Nov. 13.
