Ward (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Titans.
Ward sustained an apparent calf injury in the second half of the game, and he'll now be sidelined for the stretch run. In his absence, Sam Webb and D'Angelo Ross stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Tennessee.

Browns' Mike Hall: Good to go Week 14
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Hall drew the questionable tag for Week 14 after his practice reps were limited due to a knee injury. The second-year defensive tackle has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups, and he'll provide rotational depth behind starters Shelby Harris and rookie first-rounder Mason Graham.

Browns' Isaiah McGuire: Cleared to play vs. Tennessee
Rotowire
McGuire (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
McGuire had his practice reps limited during Week 14 prep due to a knee injury, but the third-year defensive end has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has accumulated 29 tackles (17 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through 12 regular-season games.

Browns' Mason Graham: Good to go for Week 14
Rotowire
Graham (ribs) is active for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee.
Graham managed a rib injury during the week and didn't practice at all Friday. He entered the weekend deemed questionable for Sunday but is going to be able to give it a go. Graham should thus take on his usual starting role along the Browns' defensive line.

Browns' Alex Wright: Good to go
Rotowire
Wright (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Wright missed the Browns' Week 13 loss to the 49ers with a quadriceps injury, but three practices capped off with a full session Friday were enough to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest. The return of the starting defensive end opposite Myles Garrett is a huge boon for a Browns defensive line that is already without Maliek Collins (quadriceps) and potentially without Mason Graham (ribs).

Browns' Mike Hall: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Hall (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Hall managed to log two limited sessions this week after he was added to the injury report Thursday. His availability for Sunday will be key for a Browns defense that is littered with injuries at defensive tackle. The second-year tackle has maintained a defensive snap share of at least 31 percent for three consecutive weeks, and if cleared to suit up Sunday, will likely make it four.

Browns' Mason Graham: Questionable with rib injury
Rotowire
Graham (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Graham was able to log only a single limited practice Thursday and downgraded to a non-participant Friday. The reduction in participation is a red flag for the defensive tackle's ability to play Sunday, but the Browns' defensive line depth situation may swing the needle. Without the rookie first-rounder, the Browns have only two healthy defensive tackles cleared for Sunday on the roster, Shelby Harris and Sam Kamara. If Graham and fellow tackle Mike Hall (knee) are unable to suit up, Simeon Barrow is a Week 14 candidate for a practice squad elevation.

Browns' Devin Bush: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Bush (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Bush managed to upgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice after being unable to participate earlier in the week. The strongside linebacker is in danger of missing his first game, but his ability to practice Friday and be tagged as questionable instead of doubtful are both good signs that indicate he'll be able to take the field Sunday. If the starter can't go, Jerome Baker will likely take over his duties Sunday.

Browns' Mason Graham: Limited with rib issue
Rotowire
Graham (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Graham did not appear on Wednesday's injury report, which indicates that the rib issue is a new one. The downgrade to limited participation Thursday isn't ideal, but it doesn't significantly diminish Graham's chances of suiting up for Sunday's contest against the Titans. With Mike Hall (knee) and Adin Huntington (quadriceps) questionable and Maliek Collins' (quadriceps) placement on injured reserve Tuesday, Graham's availability is crucial to the Browns' defensive line. If the defensive tackle is unable to go, Shelby Harris and Sam Kamara will likely start on the interior of Cleveland's defensive line Sunday.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Limited again by ankle
Rotowire
Schwesinger (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Schwesinger was limited for a second consecutive practice, presumably with the same ankle injury that the rookie linebacker dealt with last week. He's been limited during practices with ankle or shoulder injuries the last month, but Schwesinger logged double-digit tackles in four straight contests. That four-game stretch was influential in him being named the Defensive Rookie of the Month for November, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site.

Browns' Adin Huntington: Not at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Huntington (quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Huntington missed last week's game with this injury, and he's in danger of missing a second straight game in Week 14 versus the Titans. The undrafted rookie is a reserve option on the Browns' defensive line, as he has produced 12 tackles (five solo) and 0.5 sacks through 10 games.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Dealing with hip issue again
Rotowire
Ward was limited in Wednesday's practice because of a hip injury.
Ward managed with a hip issue during much of October, but it didn't cause him to miss any games. It's not clear if his current injury is a recurrence of that problem. Regardless, Ward may not be dealing with a major issue given his ability to log a limited practice to begin the week, though a full session by the end of Friday may be needed for the veteran cornerback to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Limited Wednesday due to ankle issue
Rotowire
Schwesinger (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Schwesinger produced double-digit tackles for the fourth straight week against the 49ers on Sunday, but he also suffered an ankle injury during the loss. It's promising that he was able to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, and the rookie linebacker will have two more days this week to return to full participation. In the event Schwesinger isn't able to suit up Sunday versus Tennessee, Jerome Baker could step into a more prominent role.

Browns' Devin Bush: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bush (foot) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Bush has stacked up 82 tackles, five pass breakups, 2.0 sacks and a pick-six through 12 games this season. He's in danger of missing his first game of the season unless he can practice in a limited fashion by Friday. Jerome Baker likely will start at strongside linebacker if Bush can't go.

Browns' Sam Kamara: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
Kamara was signed to the Browns active roster Tuesday.
Kamara, who had been on the team's practice squad, replaces defensive tackle Maliek Collins (quad). The latter was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the season. Kamara is in his fourth season with the Cleveland organization and had a career-high 15 tackles in 2024.

Browns' Maliek Collins: Moved to IR
Rotowire
The Browns placed Collins (quadriceps) on the injured reserve Tuesday.
Collins was carted off the field in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss to the 49ers with a severe hip injury. The defensive tackle requires season-ending surgery, so the move to injured reserve is no surprise. Shelby Harris is the likely starter at defensive tackle opposite Mason Graham for the rest of the 2025 campaign.

Browns' Maliek Collins: Done for season
Rotowire
Collins' quadriceps injury will require season-ending surgery, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Collins was carted off the field after sustaining a quadriceps injury in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the 49ers, and he's now set to miss the remainder of the season. The 30-year-old was having one of the best seasons of his career through 12 games, recording 25 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery. While he's sidelined for the rest of 2025, expect Shelby Harris to start on Cleveland's defensive line.

Browns' Maliek Collins: Dealing with quad injury
Rotowire
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Collins suffered a quad injury during Cleveland's loss to the 49ers on Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN reports.
Collins is set to undergo imaging on his quad after being carted off in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup. If the 30-year-old is forced to miss any games, Shelby Harris should fill in as one of the team's starting defensive tackles.

Browns' Maliek Collins: Carted off field
Rotowire
Collins (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Collins had to be carted off the field early in the third quarter after sustaining a knee injury. While he undergoes further tests to determine the severity of the injury, Shelby Harris and Mike Hall will see more defensive snaps in the second half.

Browns' Tyson Campbell: Cleared for Week 13
Rotowire
Campbell (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against San Francisco, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Campbell's practice reps were limited earlier in the week, but he's ready to roll after piling up a career-high 10 tackles in last Sunday's win over the Raiders. Campbell should see a lot of Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall in coverage against the 49ers.
