The Cleveland Browns have had a lot of struggles with injuries as of late including concerns on their offensive line with Chris Hubbard missing the last game and Jedrick Wills leaving during the game.
In what could have been the biggest story, quarterback Baker Mayfield injured his shoulder making a tackle after an interception against the Houston Texans. Mayfield didn’t miss any snaps but there was lingering concern that he could miss some practice time.
Odell Beckham Jr.’s return has also lingered for the team as head coach Kevin Stefanski and staff made a game-time decision in Week 1 to hold him out before ruling him out for Week 2 to start the week.
Today’s midweek injury report for Browns Vs. Bears lists both Mayfield and Beckham as full participants while Hubbard and Wills did not practice:

J.C. Tretter has missed practices over the last few years to maintain his body while Sione Takitaki becomes the next on the long list of minor hamstring issues.
The Bears have already announced that Justin Fields would start against the Browns due to injury to Andy Dalton while it seems that the other non-participants should be short-term issues with Jimmy Graham just getting a rest day and Akiem Hicks ill.
With Beckham finally getting to fully participate, signs are good that he will be active on Sunday but the Browns will play that day-to-day at this point.
