The Browns opened the practice window for Reid on Dec. 17, as he makes his return from injured reserve. He did not participate throughout the week with a back injury, but head coach Kevin Stefanski said he was a participant in walk throughs.

“All a part of his rehab,” Stefanski said.

Sampson did not participate throughout the week with a hand injury.

Ward did not participate on Wednesday and Thursday of practice as he works through a calf injury. Ward did not play in Week 15 against the Bears after first enduring the calf injury in Week 14 against the Titans.

“He’s trying really hard to get back and can’t rush those types of things, but we trust those guys that are out there,” Stefanski said. “He’s pushing very hard. With all injuries, you have to take a lot of things with how they look, how they are pushing through. So, it’s not a lack of want to in this case, just not yet ready.”
