AFC Notes: Browns, Jets, Patriots

Browns

• The Browns officially list CB Denzel Ward (hamstring), CB Greedy Williams (hamstring), WR Rashard Higgins (knee), and S Morgan Burnett (quadriceps) as questionable for Monday night’s game against the 49ers. 

Jets

Manish Mehta reports that Jets third-round OL Chuma Edoga is expected to start against the Eagles at right tackle, replacing Brandon Shell.

Jets HC Adam Gase said earlier in the week that they planned on considering some changes to their offensive line.

“I feel like this week has been a really good week of practice for all those guys,” Gase said of the offensive linemen. “They’ve been doing a great job as far as when we’re moving guys around and we’re trying some different guys in some different spots. I feel like the execution has been good in practice. I feel like the energy levels been really good in practice. I feel like the communication as far as what’s going on the field, coming back to the sideline, all those little things that you need to do to make improvement. I feel like guys are trending in the right direction. We’re going to have a hard test and we’ll see how this carries over to Sunday.”
