What happened: Head coach Todd Monken confirmed Friday that Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mason Graham will play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The return ends a two-game absence that began after Monken first awaited word on Graham's status in early October.

Why it matters: Reinserting the 2025 fifth overall pick out of Michigan bolsters Cleveland's interior defensive line as the Browns defend the No. 4 seed following an Oct. 18 win over Baltimore. Tennessee enters the matchup seeking consecutive victories after topping Indianapolis last Sunday.

By the numbers: Cleveland holds a 4-2 record (No. 4 seed) coming off a 13-10 win over the Ravens on Oct. 18, while Tennessee sits at 1-5 (No. 14 seed) after a 26-20 road win over the Colts. Graham returns to the lineup after missing two games.

What to watch: Graham re-enters Cleveland's defensive tackle rotation Sunday against Tennessee.
