Suffers hamstring injury Takitaki left Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Takitaki racked up two solo tackles in the team's preseason opener against Jacksonville, and it's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his availability for Sunday's exhibition matchup against the Giants. If the 2019 third-rounder is healthy for the start of the regular season, he's expected to take on a starting role.

Suiting up for finale Takitaki (ankle) is active Week 17 against Pittsburgh.

Impact A week of limited practices won't get in the way of Takitaki taking the field for the season finale, especially after he logged 50 defensive snaps last week. He's lined up to start alongside Jacob Phillips and Mack Wilson to compose the Cleveland trio of linebackers with B.J. Goodson on the COVID list.

Questionable for Sunday Takitaki (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Takitaki has been a limited participant in practice throughout the week, so he may be a true game-time decision Sunday after logging seven tackles (three solo) last week against the Jets.

Bothered by ankle Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Takitaki is day-to-day with an ankle injury, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Takitaki appeared to suffer this injury in a Week 16 loss to the Jets. The second-year linebacker tied his season high with seven tackles in that game. The day-to-day designation is encouraging for Takitaki's chances to play in the season finale against the Steelers; his Wednesday practice capacity should be more revealing about this status.
