Browns' Dylan Sampson: Nine touches in return
Sampson carried the ball six times for 45 yards and caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans.
Seeing his first action since Week 1, and his first offensive snaps of the season, after recovering from a knee injury, Sampson saw nine touches to Quinshon Judkins' 18 in impressive performances from both. Sampson is the clear No. 2 RB when the Browns' backfield is at 100 percent, but there could be enough volume for Sampson to have fantasy value in that role given the team's fairly underpowered aerial attack. Sampson will look to stay productive in Week 8 against the Steelers.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Activated from injured reserve
Sampson (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Sampson also had his questionable injury designation removed and has been cleared to play against the Titans on Sunday. He's missed the Browns' last five games due to a knee injury, but his return means Cleveland's backfield will have its top backfield options in Sampson and Quinshon Judkins (ankle) for Week 7.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Listed as questionable Sunday
Sampson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
With Sampson still on injured reserve, the Browns will need to activate him by Saturday evening to have him available for Sunday's game against the Titans. Starting running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) has been cleared to return from a one-game absence, in any case, which potentially limits Sampson to a passing-down role if he plays.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Another limited practice
Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Since being designated for return from injured reserve last week, Sampson has turned in four consecutive limited practices. While the Browns haven't indicated that Sampson has experienced any setbacks with his knee since making his return to practice, he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to put himself on a path to come off IR prior to Sunday's game against the Titans.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Sampson (knee) was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com previously noted that coach Todd Monken indicated that he was optimistic Sampson -- who last saw action in Week 1 -- will be able to come off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. The Browns may also welcome lead RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) back to the lineup this weekend, and if both Judkins and Sampson are available versus Tennessee, Sampson figures to work as a pass-catching complement behind Judkins (ankle).

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Tracking toward return Sunday
Browns head coach Todd Monken said that he's optimistic that Sampson (knee) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Sampson landed on IR after tweaking his knee in the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, but he had his 21-day evaluation window opened last week when he first eligible to resume practicing with the team. The second-year back turned in a pair of limited practices in Week 6 before ultimately sitting out Cleveland's 13-10 win over Baltimore, but if he can upgrade to full participation at some point before Friday, he'll likely get the green light to play this weekend. Once he's reinstated, Sampson will likely settle back in as a pass-catching complement behind lead back Quinshon Judkins (ankle), whom Monken is also optimistic will be able to play against the Titans after being inactive for the Week 6 win.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Remaining on injured reserve
Sampson (knee) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Sampson has been sidelined since injuring his left knee during a Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, and while he was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't do enough in practice since then to warrant activation. With Sampson still sidelined and Quinshon Judkins' (foot) status up in the air for Week 6, the Browns may be looking at a situation in which Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are powering the ground game this weekend.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Limited in return to practice
Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Though the Browns officially designated Sampson for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't end up taking any reps in the team's first Week 6 practice session. Sampson was back on the field a day later as a limited participant, but in order to have a shot at being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, he may need to upgrade to a full practice Friday. Lead back Quinshon Judkins (foot) hasn't been able to practice in any fashion this week and looks to be trending toward sitting out versus Baltimore, so Sampson could be in line for a prominent role if he ends up getting activated this weekend.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: No practice activity Wednesday
Sampson (knee) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Despite being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Sampson didn't end up logging any reps after having his 21-day practice window opened. Prior to the Browns' first Week 6 practice, head coach Todd Monken told Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram that Sampson has a chance at being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, but the second-year back would likely need to put in a full workout Thursday or Friday to make that a reality.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Back practicing Wednesday
The Browns designated Sampson (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The transaction clears the way for Sampson to practice Wednesday and opens a 21-day window for the Browns to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. The second-year back has been sidelined since sustaining the left knee injury during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, but head coach Todd Monken suggested that Sampson could have a shot at playing Sunday versus the Ravens, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. Sampson will likely need to turn in at least one full practice over the next three days for the Browns to feel comfortable activating him from injured reserve ahead of their Week 6 matchup.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Could return to practice this week
Head coach Todd Monken said Monday that there is a "possibility" that the Browns open the 21-day practice window for Sampson (knee) this week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Sampson was placed on injured reserve in mid-September due to a left knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Monken opened the door for Sampson to be designated to return from IR during Week 6 prep, though his practice participation over the coming days would ultimately determine whether he would be ready to play against the Ravens on Sunday. Sampson's potential return could be an important one for the Browns, given that Quinshon Judkins (foot) and Raheim Sanders (hip) both left this past Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets due to their respective injuries.
