Suiting up Week 5 Clowney (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Chargers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact Clowney was optimistic regarding his availability for the Browns' Week 5 matchup and will be active for the first time since Week 2. He'll return as a key pass rusher along the defensive line, as he has tallied 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in his 75 snaps this season.

Believes he'll play Week 5 Clowney (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is optimistic that he'll be available to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Clowney will likely be put through a pregame workout before the Browns offer clarity on his status one way or the other with the release of their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Clowney is cleared to return from a two-game absence, the Browns will have both of their top edge rushers available; star defensive end Myles Garrett (biceps/shoulder) has already been cleared to play after sitting out the Week 4 loss to the Falcons while recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident.

Impact Clowney was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he returned to the field in a limited capacity Friday. The 29-year-old has missed the last two games due to his ankle injury but will have a chance to suit up for Sunday's Week 5 tilt. If Clowney is held out, Alex Wright and Isaac Rochell will likely see increased playing time once again.

Although he was limited in practice all week, he'll be able to return to action following a one-game absence. Over his first three appearances of the season, he tallied seven tackles (five solo), including three sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.

Puts in full practice Njoku (knee/rest) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Njoku sat out the Browns' first Week 5 practice session a day earlier, but the fact that he had a "rest" designation attached to his name along with the knee injury suggested his status for Sunday's game against the Chargers was never in much question. His return to practice as a full participant verifies that, and Njoku should remain one of Jacoby Brissett's favorite targets this weekend. Over the past two games, Njoku has drawn 17 looks and has turned them into 14 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown.

Returns to practice Bryant (illness) was able to practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact Bryant sat out practice Wednesday due to the illness, but he returned in some form Thursday. The Browns have not released their official practice report yet, so it's not clear if he was a limited or full participant. However, either would be a step in the right direction for the third-year tight end. With David Njoku (knee) and recent signee Pharaoh Brown (hip) both questionable for Sunday against the Chargers as well, Bryant could potentially find himself in a significant role, if he plays.

Back at practice Njoku (knee/rest) returned to practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact It remains to be seen if Njoku -- who sat out Wednesday's session -- will be listed as a limited or full participant by the Browns, but the tight end's return to practice Thursday presumably puts him on track to suit up Sunday against the Chargers.

Signing becomes official Brown (hip/shoulder) finalized a contract with the Browns on Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brown's signing was made official after he passed his physical earlier Wednesday, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Though Brown had been dealing with hip and shoulder injuries and missed Week 4 action before he was released by the Texans on Tuesday, the Browns were comfortable enough with what they saw to officially bring him on board. With David Njoku (knee) and Harrison Bryant (illness) both questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Brown could step into some kind of role with his new team right away if he can prove he's healthy enough to suit up.
