Overview

• TribLive’s Joe Rutter reported both Joey Porter Jr. and Alex Highsmith worked out Monday following the bye and are expected to play against Cleveland.
• Porter told reporters, “I’m back,” after Monday’s session; he had missed the previous two games with a hamstring injury sustained in the team’s second game.
• Highsmith is working back from a high-ankle sprain after exiting in Week 2, and his return could reshape edge snaps with Nick Herbig opposite T.J. Watt.
• Pittsburgh hosts the Browns on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, entering the AFC North matchup at 3-1 in its first division game of the season.
• Analysts note the defense has been uneven against the pass, and reporting that Jalen Ramsey could miss multiple weeks elevates the importance of Porter’s availability.
