What happened: The Cleveland Browns listed Tytus Howard, Myles Harden, and Thomas as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Howard remained off the practice field Friday while progressing through concussion protocol. Harden logged practice reps during the week while managing a hamstring injury.

Why it matters: Cleveland enters Sunday's matchup at 5-2 after winning two consecutive games, including a 27-24 road victory against Tennessee. An absence for Howard would elevate Dawand Jones into the starting lineup at right tackle against Pittsburgh's pass rush. The Browns currently hold the No. 3 seed in the AFC standings.

What to watch: Game-day inactives will be confirmed 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. kickoff at Acrisure Stadium. Cleveland will finalize whether Howard clears protocol in time to suit up.
