Cleveland Browns get positive news on Tyson Campbell ahead of Week 2 matchup with Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Cleveland Browns received some positive injury news ahead of their Week 2 showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Starting cornerback Tyson Campbell is good to go after suffering an ankle injury late in the week and winding up on the team's practice report. The ailment was bad enough that the 26-year-old entered Sunday with a questionable designation, but after going through a lengthy warm-up session pregame to test the ankle, he was cleared.
The Browns will need Campbell in the secondary if they hope to spoil what's been deemed a "revenge game" for ex-Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.
With Campbell active, there were no major surprises on Cleveland's Week 2 inactive list. Veteran guard Teven Jenkins won't play for the second consecutive week, but that was known in advance of kickoff, as he was the only player ruled out at the release of the team's official injury report on Friday.
Jenkins continues to nurse a back injury, which he suffered during practice ahead of Week 1. In his place, rookie Austin Barber will make his second career start after a solid performance in Jacksonville to open the season. Even if Jenkins had been available, head coach Todd Monken made it known that Barber had done enough to remain the team's starter at right guard. Barber is one of two rookies, along with left tackle Spencer Fano, who are starting along the o-line for Cleveland.
Meanwhile, despite Monken continuing to promote the possibility of a special package for rookie quarterback Taylen Green in a non-QB role, he will once again serve as the team's emergency third quarterback this week, meaning he can only enter the game if both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders leave the game due to injury.
The Browns full inactive list includes:
QB Taylen Green (emergency 3rd QB)
G Teven Jenkins
C Parker Brailsford
LB Justin Jefferson
CB Toriano Pride Jr.
S Daniel Thomas
The Browns and Bucs will kick things off at 1 p.m. from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay.
