Fresh off a road win over the Tennessee Titans, the Cleveland Browns hit the road again for a huge AFC North showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

Wednesday's opening injury report presents new challenges, however, with several starting players nursing injuries.

Here is Wednesday's initial practice participation report for Week 8.

Did not participate

• Right Tackle Tytus Howard (Concussion)

• Center Elgton Jenkins (Knee)

• Defensive End Jared Verse (Knee)

Starting right tackle Tytus Howard entered concussion protocol and was unable to practice on Wednesday.

He was joined on the sideline by starting center Elgton Jenkins, who sat out due to a knee issue, and edge rusher Jared Verse, who missed the session with a knee concern of his own.

Limited practice

• Safety Grant Delpit (Neck)

• Defensive Tackle Mason Graham (Ankle)

• Defensive Tackle Mike Hall Jr. (Ankle)

• Cornerback Myles Harden (Hamstring)

• Running Back Dylan Sampson (Knee)

Seven players were managed with limited workloads on Wednesday. On defense, safety Grant Delpit (neck), rookie defensive tackle Mason Graham (ankle), interior rusher Mike Hall Jr. (ankle), linebacker Carson Schwesinger (ankle), and defensive backs Myles Harden (hamstring) and Daniel Thomas (ankle) were all limited.

On offense, running back Dylan Sampson logged limited reps as he works through a knee issue.

With first place in the AFC North on the line in Pittsburgh, Thursday and Friday’s practice sessions will be crucial as head coach Todd Monken and the staff evaluate the status of key starters Howard, Jenkins, and Verse.
