Browns tackle Tytus Howard clears concussion protocol, will play Sunday

Cleveland Browns right tackle Tytus Howard has cleared concussion protocol and is set to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. This news comes as the Browns aim for their first sweep of the Steelers since 1988 and their first regular season win in Pittsburgh since 2003. Howard's participation is significant, as he had been missing practice throughout the week. Dawand Jones had been expected to fill in at right tackle, a situation that would have posed challenges against Steelers linebacker TJ Watt. Howard's improved performance as a run blocker is anticipated to aid the Browns' offense, especially following a strong running game display in Tennessee.
