Cameron, Mingo awaiting word

NFL, Cleveland Browns

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns will decide on Sunday if tight end Jordan Cameron and linebacker Barkevious Mingo will play against the Baltimore Ravens.

Both are listed as questionable on the injury report with shoulder injuries. Both missed Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints after being listed as questionable as well, and both were limited in practice all week.

Cameron's progress during the week has been interesting.

On Wednesday, coach Mike Pettine said he was "cautiously optimistic" that the tight end could play. The next day, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan described Cameron as "extremely limited" in practice.

On Friday, Pettine said of Cameron and Mingo: "They got some work done today."

The Browns' tight ends played well in Cameron's absence, with Gary Barnidge earning a game ball after making a key fourth-down reception on the game-winning drive, but Cameron's absence might be felt more strongly against the Ravens.

Baltimore's corners play aggressively, and Cameron's presence could help open up the passing game.

Running back Ben Tate will miss his second game with a knee injury. Tate hopes to return after the team's bye week, when the Browns play at Tennessee on Oct. 5.
