Browns cornerbacks Joe Haden (oblique) and Buster Skrine (concussion) both practiced today and said they'll play Sunday against the Steelers.
Haden sat out last week's 23-20 overtime loss in Dallas, and Skrine was knocked out of the game in the fourth quarter with a concussion.
"Yep, ready to go,'' said Haden. "(I'm) 90%. It's good enough. I can do everything.''
Haden said he was close to playing in Dallas.
"I went out early with a coach and was running around,'' Haden said. "The first time I really went for a ball I said, 'Oh (shoot).'' I wasn't quite ready. Coach was like 'Look, Joe, you know we need you to cover Dez (Bryant) and if you can't do that, then just shut it down. I was like 'Yeah, that's probably best."
With Haden out, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw for 313 yards, Bryant caught 12 passes for 145 yards and the defensive backs were penalized seven times.
Skrine left in the fourth quarter after his head-to-head collission with receiver Kevin Ogletree, who was knocked into Skrine after a blow by T.J. Ward. Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer Attached Thumbnails
