The Cleveland Browns enter Sunday’s matchup against the New York Jets with a couple of young pass rushers on the mend. Both wide receiver Cedric Tillman and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. entered the game listed as questionable to play.
However, thanks to a late-night update from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Browns and their fans have more clarity on the gameday status of both Fannin and Tillman. According to Schefter, both players, despite working through ailments, are expected to suit up and play in a winnable game for the Browns.
Browns TE Harold Fanin, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a hamstring injury, is expected to play vs. the Jets, per source.

Getting Tillman back, who has missed the last four weeks while on Injured Reserve with a hampered hamstring, will give the Browns’ wide receiver room a boost. It remains one of the worst in the NFL, so there is only room to improve the rest of the way out.
For Fannin, he has acted as a great compliment to David Njoku. The Browns have had their most success out of 12 personnel (two tight ends, one running back), so getting Fannin on the field is huge for an offense that needs to find any sign of life.
