Denzel Ward, the Browns' cornerback, has returned to practice and may play against the Chargers if he clears concussion protocol. This follows his sixth concussion sustained during the Week Eight victory over the Ravens.

Additionally, tight end David Njoku and left guard Joel Bitonio practiced without injury designations. However, linebackers Jordan Hicks and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah are out, and Khaleke Hudson has been added to the questionable list due to an ankle injury.
