Browns RT Tytus Howard clears concussion protocol will play Sunday

Cleveland got good news on Saturday ahead of the rematch with Pittsburgh.

The Cleveland Browns are aiming to secure a potential sweep and their first regular season victory in Pittsburgh since 2003 when they face the Steelers on Sunday. The team seeks to achieve their sixth win in eight games at the start of the 2026 NFL season. A significant morale boost came on Saturday as veteran right tackle Tytus Howard cleared concussion protocol with no injury designation for the upcoming match.

Initially, it seemed the Browns might have to start Dawand Jones at right tackle against the formidable TJ Watt and the Steelers, as Jones has had a challenging season so far and struggled in Howard's absence. However, Howard's recent improved performance at right tackle and his enhanced effectiveness as a run blocker have become crucial factors against a player like Watt.

Moreover, the Browns' running game, which gained momentum in Tennessee, is expected to maintain its form and contribute to slowing down the Steelers' pass rush.
