AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith return fully to practice while

When the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles matchup in Week 6, it feels like a game between two teams that need a win desperately to keep up with preseason expectations. The Eagles are healthy coming off of their bye week while the Browns continue to lick their wounds (both figuratively with a 1-4 record and dealing with injuries).

We knew that the expectation was that Philadelphia would get both of their star wide receivers, AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, back this week while 10 Cleveland players were non-participants to start practice on Wednesday.

Wednesday evening we received the first of three injury reports for both teams and the difference is startling. The bye week obviously helped the home team but it is still a case of a very injured team versus a very healthy team:
