Overview

• Denzel Ward was added to the Browns’ injury report with a shoulder issue after Week 3 and also has a toe concern.
• After sitting out Wednesday, Ward told reporters Thursday he will be ready for Detroit and confirmed he practiced.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team is taking Ward’s status day-by-day to ensure he feels right before playing.
• With starting corner Martin Emerson Jr. lost for the season to an Achilles tear, Ward’s availability carries added weight.
• If Ward is limited or unavailable, Cleveland’s secondary faces a tougher task against a high-scoring Lions offense at Ford Field on Sunday.
