The Cleveland Browns sorely need a win on Sunday with the Houston Texans coming to town. Another loss would knock the Browns back to .500 and make a potential playoff push in the top-heavy AFC a lot more difficult.
The Texans may be just 3-5, but they are better than their record indicates and are not to be taken lightly. They started 3-5 last year and finished 12-5. They’ll be looking to do the same thing in 2026 and it all starts with the Browns, who are relatively healthy heading into this matchup aside from one pivotal player who is currently listed as questionable.
Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 shared that rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston remains questionable for Sunday due to the toe injury that kept him out of practice most of the week. He did log a limited session on Friday, which is a good sign of his availability for Sunday, while star corner Denzel Ward has no injury designation whatsoever and should be just fine.
“#Browns Denzel Boston questionable with toe injury, no designation for Denzel Ward (quadriceps),” Wilson said.

Boston has been looking more and more comfortable of late, catching a career-high six passes in each of the last two games. He has 19 targets over those two games and showed strong chemistry with Shedeur Sanders in their first game together, just like he did with Watson.
Boston will have his hands full against one of the league’s most dangerous secondaries. Derek Stingley and Kamari Lassiter make up one of the NFL’s best corner duos and this will be quite the test for Boston and fellow rookie wideout KC Concepcion.
On the other side of the ball, a healthy Ward will also have his hands full with Nico Collins and Tank Dell. He is in the midst of one of the best years of his career and the Browns can’t deal with having him unavailable even for just one week.
Hopefully Boston is good to go for Sunday and can give this offense the boost that only he is capable of providing.
