There is some relatively positive news on Browns defensive tackle Mason Graham.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Graham is expected to miss a few weeks with an MCL sprain and an ankle sprain.
Graham underwent an MRI on Friday, which revealed that Graham is not believed to have suffered an injury that will keep him out long-term. rocore.sbs
Graham, the No. 5 overall pick in last year's draft, had registered 4.0 sacks in Cleveland's first three games. That mark leads the team.
Head coach Todd Monken praised Graham earlier on Friday for how hard he has worked to improve.
Cleveland will have some time before its Week 5 matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 11. The club will then face the Ravens at home in Week 6 before taking on the Titans on the road in Week 7.
Jalen Coker is questionable for the Panthers, Xavier Legette ruled out
Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was able to play in Week 3 after being listed as questionable and they'll be hoping for the same outcome on Sunday night.
Coker was limited in practice by a quad injury for the second straight day on Friday and the Panthers have slapped another questionable tag on him ahead of their game against the Lions. Coker has also dealt with an ankle injury this season and has 18 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns on the season.
The Panthers will be without wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) for the second straight game. They have also ruled out guard Damien Lewis (elbow). Cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are not on the injury report, but the starters will be missing after landing on injured reserve earlier this week.
Right tackle Monroe Freeling returned to full practice, but is listed as questionable pending final clearance from concussion protocol. Defensive tackles Lee Hunter (foot) and Cam Jackson (knee) are also listed as questionable.
Mercedes put team first as Russell and Antonelli face off on F1’s return to Sepang
Title rivals bring upgrades to first Grand Prix in Malaysia since 2017 on a demanding but well liked circuit
While the byzantine nomenclature of this weekend’s “Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia” will have Formula One’s statisticians muttering darkly under their breath for years to come, the import of the sport’s return to the Sepang circuit remains all too straightforward at the sharp end. Complicated only perhaps by a Red Bull resurgence and an enthused Max Verstappen, determined to make his mark on the championship run-in.
The return to Malaysia for its first race since 2017 has been welcomed in F1. It is a much-liked circuit among drivers, albeit the high temperatures and humidity make for an enormous physical challenge.

Christian Parker is a first-time defensive coordinator who was charged with fixing a unit that allowed the most points in the NFL last season. The Cowboys currently rank 30th in yards allowed and 25th in points.
It's better but not much better.
Parker has taken some heat for his decision to play man defense with seven seconds left against Lamar Jackson, who completed a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers that set up Tyler Loop's game-winning, 56-yard field goal.
Parker admitted this week he erred with the play call.
"Oh, for sure," Parker said, via Schuyler Dixon of the Associated Press. "You know, I had an original call in mind, but overthought the situation, relative to what their mindset was going to be going to overtime, trying to get something quick, Hail Mary, all those things. So, I definitely would make a different call if that the situation came up again."
Former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, now an analyst for NBC Sports, called Parker's decision to play man coverage "somewhat negligent" during a halftime segment on Sunday Night Football. Tomlin said Parker should have called for zone coverage in that situation to protect against what happened.
Parker said he does not listen to "outside noise."
"To be honest with you, I don't pay it any mind," he said. "We have more than enough on our plate in here to worry about what the outside noise is, whether it's good or bad. I think that regardless of how that outside noise creeps in the building, it can affect you in multiple ways. So we've just been focusing on trying to get this next one."
Trey Hendrickson out for Week 4 after undergoing procedure for broken finger
The Ravens will be without Trey Hendrickson for this week's game against the Titans, but he should be back soon.
Head coach Jesse Minter told reporters in his Friday press conference that Hendrickson underwent a procedure to repair his broken finger and is out for Week 4.
“We were able to get the finger fixed,” Minter said. “We think it’ll be [a] very, very short term [absence], but just in a quick way to get that fixed and get him back, I think that’s going to be best for us moving forward long term.”
Hendrickson’s finger had been broken in multiple places.
In three games so far this season, Hendrickson has registered one sack, a tackle for loss, and three quarterback hits.
Baltimore’s full injury report with game statuses will be released later on Friday.
