• The Browns’ injury report trended up: Denzel Ward (shoulder) moved to limited, Joel Bitonio returned to full, Myles Garrett practiced fully, and DTs Mike Hall Jr. and Shelby Harris upgraded to limited, while Jack Conklin remained limited.
• Lions updates included Al-Quadin Muhammad improving to limited, Taylor Decker listed as a DNP, Derrick Barnes limited, DJ Reed full, and Zach Cunningham added as limited with a hamstring issue.
• Lions OC John Morton said Cleveland hasn’t seen a rushing attack like Detroit’s and emphasized staying in manageable third downs, while stressing the need to prevent Garrett from wrecking the game.
• Browns DC Jim Schwartz declined to engage in bulletin-board exchanges, saying the plan is to let his aggressive front and coverage dictate the game.
• Cleveland leads the league in fewest total and rushing yards allowed and has forced an NFL-high 12 three-and-outs, while Detroit has stacked 900-plus yards and 90-plus points over two games without a sack or turnover, and is favored by roughly 9.5–10 points.
