The Cleveland Browns travel to the Music City to face the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Week 7 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS. After a full week of practice, the team has ruled four players out, while four players are listed as questionable to play.
Defensive tackle Kalia Davis and quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who had their 21-day practice window opened in early October, have been ruled out. A decision on the rest of their season will need to come in the next couple of days. If the players are not activated, they would be lost to the reserve/injured list for the rest of the season.
Running Back Quinshon Judkins is Back for Week 7
After missing the Week 6 home victory against the Baltimore Ravens, with running backs Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime stepping in and stepping up, Judkins returns to his starting role in Week 7. He was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, before taking part in a full practice on Friday. He was removed from the injury report when the official designations were revealed.
Judkins will get to work against a Tennessee Titans rushing defense which allows just 3.8 yards per carry, although they’re 24th in the NFL with 735 yards allowed on the ground. Tennessee has given up six rushing touchdowns, too.
In addition, rookie wide receivers Denzel Boston (foot) and KC Concepcion (calf, quadriceps) were each able to take part in their first full practice of the week on Friday, and both players were removed from the injury report, too. So, quarterback Deshaun Watson will have his top two receivers at his disposal, as well as his top running back. That’s good news for an offense which can use all the help it can get.

Starting offensive tackle Tytus Howard (knee) and starting center Elgton Jenkins (knee) were each able to take part in a full practice on Friday, and they’ll be good to go against the Titans on Sunday.
The Browns continue to waste a roster spot, as offensive guard Teven Jenkins (back) did not practice again this week, and he has been ruled out. He hasn’t played at any point this season after suffering a back injury in practice on the Wednesday leading up to the Week 1 road trip to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
