Matt Zenitz shared the information on X:
“A source confirmed to @CBSSports that the plan is for #Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) to play today against the #Texans.”
He also added:
“Leads Cleveland and all NFL rookie receivers with 507 receiving yards.”
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler also reported that Boston is expected to play, barring an unexpected setback. His availability would be a significant boost for Cleveland's passing attack.
Boston has been one of the Browns' biggest offensive bright spots this season. He leads Cleveland and all NFL rookie wide receivers with 507 receiving yards. The second-round pick has also recorded 32 receptions and three touchdowns through nine games.
The rookie showed his importance to the offense during Cleveland's previous outing against the New Orleans Saints. He finished with six receptions for 98 yards, providing a consistent option for quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
However, Boston's availability comes with some injury concerns. He missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices before returning as a limited participant on Friday.
Browns head coach Todd Monken provided an encouraging update after Friday's practice.
"He came out there today and moved around, moved around pretty good," Monken said, via the official Browns website. "Went through our walk. Took a full walk. But then when we got out there, we limited his reps. So, we'll have to see how he progresses tomorrow and then Sunday. But it's trending in the right way."
Boston's return could be particularly important with Deshaun Watson back as Cleveland's starting quarterback. The veteran is set to return after missing last week's game while dealing with a concussion.
Having Boston available gives Watson another reliable target on the outside. The rookie's ability to make contested catches and generate yards downfield could help Cleveland create more opportunities against Houston.
The Browns will also be looking to bounce back after their narrow 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints.
