The Cleveland Browns need to get back on track this Sunday when they welcome the Houston Texans to town. Cleveland is looking to avoid a third loss in a row, which would knock them back to .500 and severely damage their chances of making a playoff run in the AFC.
Things are tightening up after back-to-back losses, but the Browns did get some good news on Thursday. Star rookie receiver Denzel Boston was a little banged up coming out of the New Orleans Saints game, but after missing Wednesday’s practice with a toe injury, he is starting to trend upward.
The Athletic’s Zac Jackson provided an official update, noting that he is feeling better and “trending up.” Boston didn’t get onto the practice field on Thursday, but it’s a great sign for his potential availability on Sunday that he is heading in the right direction.
“Denzel Boston said he’s hoping and ‘working’ to be back to practice today after missing Wednesday with a toe injury. ‘Definitely feel better. Trending up,’” Jackson posted.

He has put up a career-high six receptions in each of the last two games and a career-high 98 yards last week. He had a huge 60-yard catch on a deep ball late in the third quarter on a beautiful connection with Shedeur Sanders and there’s no telling what this offense would look like on Sunday if he were unable to suit up.
His presence as a deep threat has changed this offense from the day he got here and it’s intriguing to see his route tree begin to expand a bit over the past few games. He and KC Concepcion have been exactly what this team needed and are doing something that hasn’t been done in over 80 years, and they’re getting more exciting and more comfortable by the week.
Hopefully Boston can get at least a limited practice session in on Friday, which is often the indicator of whether or not a player is good to go for Sunday. Check back for more updates on Boston tomorrow.
