Misses another extra point York converted his lone field-goal attempt and two of three extra-point tries in Thursday's 29-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 3.
Impact York's miss clanged off the upright and was his second in as many weeks. His miss last week was not the sole reason for Week 2's loss to the Jets, but it was part of a team-wide collapse. The rookie kicker was not given a chance for a second field goal just before halftime, when the Browns decided to go for it on 4th-and-2 at the Pittsburgh 31. York has 27 points through three games.

Handles punt returns Rogers did not play on offense and returned two punts for 11 yards in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Steelers in Week 3.
Impact Rogers was promoted from the practice squad and replaced Demetric Felton (inactive) as the primary returner on punts. He's unlikely to make an impact in an offense that runs more than throws, but the team is searching for consistency in the return game, and Rogers could find a home there.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Logs another catch Bell caught his lone target for six yards over a season-high 40 snaps in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Steelers in Week 3. He also returned one kick for 12 yards.
Impact Bell, who has a pair of six-yard catches over the first three weeks, saw increased playing time Thursday -- his 56% share nearly doubled his snap allotment in the first two weeks. He plays mostly in the slot, but the Browns' offense is heavy on multiple tight-end sets and don't often use three wideouts. It's uncertain if Week 3's usage is an outlier, but the rookie has moved ahead of Anthony Schwartz in terms of playing time.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Playing time dwindling Schwartz was not targeted and played five snaps in Thursday's 29-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 3.
Impact Schwartz's playing time has dropped in successive weeks, from Week 1's 22 snaps to 12 then five. He has return experience and was in the mix during preseason, but those chores have gone to others the first three weeks. Schwartz is offering little to the Browns or fantasy managers.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Three targets in Week 3 Peoples-Jones caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 29-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 3.
Impact Peoples-Jones had a season-high 88% (63 of 72) share of the offensive snaps but was quiet for the second straight week. After an 11-target opening week, DPJ has just four targets over the last two weeks, as Amari Cooper has become the unquestioned leader among Cleveland wideouts.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sees time at tight end Dunn played 12 snaps as an eligible receiver in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Steelers in Week 3.
Impact Dunn is an offensive lineman, but he's giving the Browns extra heft on some running packages. He reported eligible five times, including at the goal line, on an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended in Nick Chubb's touchdown run to increase the lead to 23-14. At this point, there are no plans to convert Dunn.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Minimal role in win Forristall did not catch his lone target and played four snaps in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday.
Impact Forristall was promoted to the active roster with Jesse James (biceps) inactive. The Browns will also use offensive lineman as eligible receivers in some packages. Both Michael Dunn (12 snaps) and Hjalte Froholdt (one snap) reported as eligible.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Handles regular workload Bryant was not targeted over 34 offensive snaps in Thursday's 29-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 3.
Impact Bryant battled thumb and thigh injuries on the short week but managed to play 47% of the offensive snaps, which is his average through three games. Not targeting him may have been part of the plan to limit exposing Bryant to injury. That worked out well for primary tight end David Njoku, who broke out with nine catches (10 targets) for 89 yards and a touchdown.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
No offensive snaps Johnson played 15 special-teams snaps and did not line up on offense in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Steelers in Week 3.
Impact Johnson was active for the first time this season, as Demetric Felton was given the night off. He has experience as a returner, but the Browns did not have him return punts or kicks, choosing to use Chester Rogers on punts and Jerome Ford or David Bell on kickoffs. It's possible the Browns don't want to expose Johnson to injury as a returner, so that he could be used as a trade chip later in the season.

Trubisky, Steelers' offense bog down in loss to Browns

Mitch Trubisky's starting job is safe

Will undergo MRI Wills (ankle) is set to undergo an MRI on Friday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wills was temporarily forced to exit after getting rolled up on his left ankle during the second half of Thursday's win over Pittsburgh, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal. However, the third-year left tackle was able to return later on, and he said postgame that he had "just a little sprain." Nevertheless, the results of Friday's MRI should provide more clarity on Wills' health status moving forward.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Set for MRI on Friday Owusu-Koramoah said that he will undergo an MRI on Friday on his injured groin, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact It was initially reported that Owusu-Koramoah was forced to exit with a quadriceps injury during Thursday's 29-17 win against Pittsburgh, but Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said postgame that he was actually dealing with a groin issue. The second-year linebacker recorded 76 tackles, 1.5 sacks and four passes defended over 14 appearances last season, and the results of Friday's MRI should provide more clarity on his status heading into Week 4.

Another solid complementary effort Hunt rushed 12 times for 47 yards and brought in three of four targets for 14 yards in the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.
Impact As customary, Hunt was the ideal complement to lead back Nick Chubb, offering the latter a breather on occasion and also contributing in the passing game with the third-most receptions on the team. Hunt has no fewer than 11 carries and has recorded multiple receptions in the Browns' first three games, a reliable workload that can afford him some fantasy success with enough touchdown equity. The veteran back will look to continue building on his successful start versus the Falcons in a Week 4 road battle a week from Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Set for MRI Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Walker will undergo an MRI on his sprained left knee, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact Walker was carted off with an air cast on his left leg after he suffered a knee sprain in Thursday's 29-17 win against Pittsburgh. While these MRI results will reveal more about the exact severity of this injury, it's possible that the middle linebacker will be sidelined for an extended period of time. Walker recorded 113 tackles over 13 regular-season games for Cleveland last year, so his potential absence would be a major hit for the team's defense moving forward.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
New career high in receptions Njoku corralled nine of 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.
Impact The tight end set a new career high in receptions after previously counting a pair of seven-catch tallies as his personal best in that category. Njoku consistently got open against Steelers linebackers, and his seven-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter snapped a 7-7 tie while serving as his first trip to the end zone since Week 17 of last season, also versus Pittsburgh. Njoku's target tally was also his highest since back-to-back games with 11 in Baker Mayfield's rookie 2018 campaign, sending the 2017 first-rounder into a Week 4 road matchup versus the Falcons a week from Sunday with plenty of momentum.

Seven catches in Week 3 win Cooper secured seven of 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.
Impact Cooper paced the Browns in receiving yards and targets for the second straight game while adding an 11-yard first-quarter touchdown. The wideout, who also found the end zone this past weekend against the Jets, has displayed excellent chemistry with Jacoby Brissett after a quiet Week 1, and he could once again have his share of opportunities versus the Falcons in a Week 4 road dome environment a week from Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eclipses century mark in win Chubb rushed 23 times for 113 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target during the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.
Impact The highlight of Chubb's night against a Steelers defense that did a good job containing him in both 2021 matchups was a 36-yard run in the first half, as he was held to 77 yards on his 22 other carries. However, the veteran back was effective when needed for the most part, and he's now encouragingly logged 62 carries over his first three games. Chubb will get some time to rest after that early robust workload before facing the Falcons in a Week 4 road matchup a week from Sunday.

Sharp, efficient in Week 3 win Brissett completed 21 of 31 passes for 220 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night. He also rushed three times f...
Impact The veteran quarterback turned in one of his prototypical efficient performances that was free of turnovers, keeping the Browns rolling with multiple long drives throughout the game. Brissett also maintained the momentum he'd built with Amari Cooper in Week 2, hitting the wideout for an 11-yard touchdown to open the scoring late in the first quarter and recording seven completions for 101 yards on 11 targets to him overall. Brissett also displayed plenty of chemistry with David Njoku, who finished with a career-high nine receptions and caught the second of his scoring tosses. Brissett and his teammates will now get extended time to prepare for a Week 4 road battle against the Falcons a week from Sunday.

NFL Week 3: Browns defeat Steelers on Thursday Night Football
Questionable to return Thursday Bryan (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Steelers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Bryan appeared to suffer a hamstring at some point before the fourth quarter of Thursday's matchup. With the defensive tackle questionable to return, expect Perrion Winfrey to see an extended workload until Bryan can get back onto the field.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Hurts quad Thursday Owusu-Koramoah (quadriceps) was ruled questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Steelers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact Owusu-Koramoah was seen heading to the locker room after he exited during the second half against Pittsburgh, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. With the second-year linebacker temporarily sidelined, Cleveland will turn to Tony Fields and Jacob Phillips to step up after Anthony Walker (lower leg) was ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game.
