Browns Wednesday Injury Report: Denzel Ward returns to practice as Bengals near

Welcome to game week! And for the Cleveland Browns, they enter Sunday’s matchup with a clean bill of health thus far as we get closer to game day. The biggest news of the day was the return of cornerback Denzel Ward to the practice field as he is now one step closer to clearing the concussion protocol and is on pace to play this Sunday.

The Bengals also enter the week with a clean bill of health as well, as quarterback Joe Burrow has given the green light that he will play in this Week 1 showdown between interstate rivals. The only player who did not practice for the Bengals on Wednesday was defensive end Joseph Ossai.
