Browns get huge injury news before Week 8 game vs. Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers ' Week 8 opponents, the Cleveland Browns , received a huge injury boost ahead of their divisional clash this Sunday.

According to KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson, Browns starting right tackle Tytus Howard , who was questionable to play in Week 8, has cleared concussion protocol and isn't carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game.

Howard, who was drafted by the Houston Texans in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, spent his first seven seasons in Houston before being traded to the Browns in March 2026. He suffered a concussion during Cleveland's Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans and did not return to the game. Howard missed all three practices ahead of Week 8 but is now cleared to play against the Steelers .

While Howard is good to go for Week 8, the same can't be said for two other Browns players, who remain questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers. Pittsburgh previously ruled out two players and deemed another questionable to play in Week 8, with the inactive report giving us a better idea of his availability.
