Denzel Ward Cleared to Play Against Chargers

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward has been cleared from concussion protocol and is set to play against the Los Angeles Chargers after suffering his sixth career concussion last week. Despite initial concerns, Ward returned to limited practice on Friday and has been deemed fit for action. He leads the NFL with 13 pass deflections and has recorded 15 tackles so far this season, showcasing his crucial role in the Browns' defense. In contrast, linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has been placed on injured reserve due to a serious neck injury sustained in the previous game against the Ravens. The Browns face a pivotal matchup against the Chargers, aiming to improve their 2-6 record before heading into a bye week. This game marks a significant opportunity for Cleveland as they look to bounce back in the second half of the season.
