Denzel Ward is ACTIVE (right hand) for #Browns v #Titans Inactives: QB Taylen Green (3QB) LB Justin Jefferson CB No Via @RuiterWrongFAN on X

What happened: Cleveland cleared its starting cornerback following pregame warmups ahead of kickoff against Tennessee. Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. (ankle), running back Audric Estime, cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, linebacker Justin Jefferson, and center Parker Brailsford are inactive for the Browns. Taylen Green will serve as the inactive third quarterback.

Why it matters: Keeping the 2018 first-round pick in the lineup steadies Cleveland's secondary as the club defends its postseason positioning. Estime remains out of the lineup after signing with the Browns on Oct. 13, while Hall's absence thins the interior defensive line rotation.

By the numbers: Cleveland (4-2, No. 4 seed) and Tennessee (1-5, No. 14 seed) both enter the scheduled 0-0 game on one-game winning streaks.

What to watch: Monitor Ward's snap count and right hand durability once play gets underway in Tennessee.
