What happened: Jaelan Phillips, Nick Scott, and Claudin Cherelus also sat out Carolina's initial Week 3 practice session. Cleveland listed defensive back Noah Igbinoghene as questionable and placed running back Dylan Sampson on injured reserve.

Why it matters: Missing Lloyd would thin a unit relying on his recent NFC Defensive Player of the Week production. Carolina is already adjusting its offensive backfield following the decision to place running back Jonathon Brooks on injured reserve for at least six weeks. The Browns face their own depth challenges as they finalize rotations.

What to watch: Both teams will release updated participation statuses on Thursday. Official game designations are expected after Friday's practice.
