Not on injury report Moore (rib) doesn't appear on the Browns' Week 7 injury report.
Impact Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, head coach Kevin Stefanski relayed after this Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles that Moore was dealing with a rib issue, however that's evidently not a concern for the wideout as this weekend's contest against the Bengals approaches. Through six games to date, Moore has caught 16 of his 23 targets for 95 yards, but going forward he could see added opportunities in Cleveland's offense following the departure Amari Cooper, who led the team with 53 targets prior to the his trade to the Bills on Tuesday.

Opens week as limited participant Hicks (elbow/triceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Hicks aggravated his elbow injury in Week 4 against the Raiders, which caused him to miss the Browns' last two games. He was limited in all three practices leading up to Week 6 against the Eagles, so he may need to upgrade to full participation over the next two days in order to play in Sunday's AFC North bout against the Bengals. Mohamoud Diabate stepped in as Cleveland's starting middle linebacker against Philadelphia on Sunday and finished with seven tackles (four solo).

Limited Wednesday Delpit (concussion) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report.
Impact Delpit was held out of practice all week leading up to Sunday's game against the Eagles. His limited participation Wednesday indicates that he's progressing through the league's concussion protocols. However, even if Delpit logs a full practice session this week, he's not guaranteed to return for Week 7 against the Bengals unless he satisfies the league's five-step protocols.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Full go Wednesday Emerson (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Emerson sustained a rib injury in the Browns' Week 6 loss to the Eagles, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's already moved past the issue. Expect the third-year pro out of Mississippi State to continue starting alongside Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greg Newsome as part of the Browns' top cornerback trio ahead of Cleveland's Week 7 matchup against the Bengals.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Logs full practice Chubb (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Impact Chubb remains on the PUP list, but he's been practicing since Week 5 and is expected to make his season debut this Sunday against the Bengals (per ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi). This is his first time being listed as a full practice participant, furthering the notion that he's on track to play. Fellow Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) missed Wednesday's practice after making an early exit from the 20-16 loss at Philadelphia on Sunday.

Could return in Week 7? Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Wednesday that Hines (knee) is doing "very well," Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hines has yet to play this season after being placed on the Browns' non-football injury list in late August. However, he was designated to return on Oct. 2 and has practiced in a limited fashion since. The veteran running back has until Oct. 23 to be activated to Cleveland's active roster before reverting to the non-football injury list, but Stefanski's comments Wednesday suggest that Hines will likely return for the Browns' Week 7 matchup against the Bengals.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Designated to return Thornhill (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Thornhill missed Cleveland's last five games after sustaining a calf injury late in the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, but it now appears he's nearing a return to the field. The 28-year-old's participation Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can return for the Browns' Week 7 matchup against the Bengals. However, Cleveland must still activate Thornhill to its active roster in order for him to suit up Sunday.

Slated to miss practice Ford (hamstring) isn't in line to practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Ford not practicing Wednesday comes as no surprise, with coach Kevin Stefanski having previously called the running back week-to-week, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. While Ford's availability for Sunday's game against the Bengals is cloudy, Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to rejoin the Browns' backfield this weekend.

Logs seven tackles in return Diabate finished Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles with seven tackles (four solo).
Impact Diabate missed the last four regular-season games while on injured reserve due to a hip injury. He saw a heavy workload immediately as he served as the starting middle linebacker Saturday due to Jordan Hicks (elbow) being inactive. Diabate should start again in Week 7 against the Bengals if Hicks cannot suit up.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IR The Browns placed Harris (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact Harris fractured his fibula on the Browns' third offensive play of Sunday's game against the Eagles. He'll be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season games, but given the severity of the injury, he could be held out beyond the minimum window. With Harris sidelined, Michael Dunn could serve as the Browns' starting center for Week 7 against the Bengals if Ethan Pocic (knee) cannot play.

Role enhanced following trade Njoku is expected to be a target leader for the Browns after the team traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact Cooper's departure reverberates through the wide receiver room, creating a new order on the depth chart, but don't sleep on the benefit that will accrue to Njoku. He led the Browns in targets and catches in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, his first full game of the season. In addition to Njoku's enhanced role, Jerry Jeudy steps up as the No. 1 receiver. Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman will get more playing time, but the early read is that Njoku and Jeudy will be the primary beneficiaries of the trade.

Likely to move into starting role Tillman is expected to move into a regular role in three-receiver sets after the Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Bills on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore (ribs) remain ahead of him on the depth chart and will likely rank as higher priorities in the passing game, but Tillman should move into a starting role for Cleveland with Cooper no longer in the mix. Through the Browns' first six games, Tillman had mustered just three catches for nine yards on five targets while playing 114 total snaps on offense. Even though his playing time is expected to rise, Tillman still looks to be largely off the fantasy radar with struggling quarterback Deshaun Watson having yet to complete more than 25 passes or clear 200 passing yards in any game this season.

Ascends to No. 1 role Jeudy is expected to become the Browns' new No. 1 wide receiver after Cleveland traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact Through the Browns' first six games, Jeudy recorded just four fewer catches (20) and two fewer receiving yards (248) than Cooper, but the trade clears the way for Jeudy to serve as Cleveland's clear top wideout. With Cooper out of the mix, Jeudy and fellow wideouts Elijah Moore (ribs), Cedric Tillman as well as tight end David Njoku could see their involvement pick up to varying degrees, though poor quarterback play from Deshaun Watson could cap the upside for each of those pass catchers.
