Will Cedrick Tillman Return vs. Broncos?
Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports

The Cleveland Browns got back in the win column with an upset victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.

The Browns may have left with a victory against a division rival, but they didn't leave unscathed. Sophomore receiver Cedric Tillman, who was coming off breakout performances in prior weeks, suffered a concussion in the game.

According to coach Kevin Stefanski, Tillman will remain in the concussion protocol to begin the practice week, but since the Browns won't play until Monday night, there is a chance he could recover before the primetime matchup against the Denver Broncos.

In his previous four games, Tillman had 24 catches for 302 yards and three touchdowns.

Meanwhile, left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. continues to nurse a knee injury that has lingered all season. Wills had originally lost the starting job to Dawand Jones until Jones suffered a fractured ankle in Week 11 and was placed on injured reserve.

Stefanski gave a much more vague update on Wills at the start of the week.

"He's trying," Stefanski said. "He's gonna keep doing everything he can to try and make it to the games. Just not ready yet. You have to treat the symptoms, treat how the guy feels. And he is doing everything he can, it's just not responding just yet."

Although the Browns' playoff chances are slim, it's clear that they're still capable of playing spoiler for teams that are in postseason contention, especially with Jameis Winston starting at quarterback.
