*Willie Henry – Important – Injury
DT Willie Henry (hernia) could return to practice this week. However, coach John Harbaugh said Henry’s availability for the game against the Browns depends on a positive prognosis from the team doctors. Henry had a breakout season in 2017 but has yet to play this year.

C.J. Mosley – Important – Injury
LB C.J. Mosley (knee) was able to play Sunday night against Pittsburgh. He played 63 snaps and led the team with eight tackles. Mosley calls plays for the defense. However, safety Eric Weddle had taken over those responsibilities with Mosley out and also called the plays against the Steelers. Coach John Harbaugh has not decided who will call the plays against Cleveland.

Hayden Hurst – Important – Injury
TE Hayden Hurst, a rookie first-round pick, returned to practice last week but was not active against Pittsburgh. He has not played since undergoing surgery Aug. 24 for a stress fracture in his foot.

Harbaugh said Hurst has a good chance to play this week.
