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' 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' 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.

Graham was limited in practice Wednesday, but it appears he's now ready to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots. The rookie first-round pick played through his knee issue during Cleveland's win over the Dolphins in Week 7, in which he handled his usual workload (74 percent of defensive snaps) and tallied three solo tackles plus one pass breakup.

Browns' Mason Graham: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Graham (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Graham landed on the injury report Thursday with a knee injury and was considered day-to-day. He's quickly moved past the minor injury and will give it a go in Week 7. After a quick start to his rookie season (11 tackles and 0.5 sacks in three games), Graham has cooled off, notching only three tackles in 132 defensive snaps over the past three weeks.
