The Cleveland Browns announced their inactives for today's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For much of the week, we thought the team would have to do some maneuvering of moves on the offensive line, since RT Tytus Howardmissed practice all week with a concussion. However, on Saturday, the team got some good news on his status, and he is active for today's game.
Also active is CB Myles Harden, who was the lone player in doubt with a questionable status heading into the game. All things considered, Cleveland is as healthy as can be heading into this game.
The biggest question mark heading into the game was who the team's backup quarterback would be, now that QB Dillon Gabrielis back for the first time this season. Head coach Todd Monkendid confirm on Friday that QB Shedeur Sanderswould be the team's backup still, so then the question shifted to who would be designated as the third quarterback on the inactive list. The answer is in: it's Gabriel, meaning QB Taylen Greenis ineligible to play for the first time this season. Gabriel will only play if both Sanders and QB Deshaun Watsonsuffer injuries. The rest of the Browns' inactives are the usual crew:
QB Dillon Gabriel(third QB)
QB Taylen Green
RB Audric Estime
C Parker Brailsford
LB Justin Jefferson
CB Noah Igbinoghene
QB Will Howard(third QB)
QB Drew Allar
RB Eli Heidenreich
WR Ben Skowronek
CB Brandin Echols
CB Doneiko Slaughter
Meanwhile, the Steelers, also don't have any major additions to their inactive list. However, it is worth noting that wide receivers Michael Pittman Jrand Roman Wilsonare on injured reserve, and the team elevated WR Brandon Smithfrom the practice squad for some depth help.
