BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs has been cleared to practice after a concussion last week from a helmet-to-helmet hit by Steelers linebacker James Harrison. Coach Eric Mangini says Cribbs should play Sunday in New Orleans.
Cribbs was hit on the left side of the helmet by Harrison on a running play. Cribbs was knocked out momentarily by his former Kent State teammate. Cribbs tried to talk his way back onto the field, but was kept out by Cleveland’s medical staff. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday.
Cribbs has returned more kickoffs for touchdowns than any player in NFL history.
Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi is still not practicing. He was also laid out on a hit by Harrison, who was fined $75,000 for the blow.
