Dylan Sampson Questionable For Week 17

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He was limited in practice all week. The rookie has been sidelined since Week 14. If he’s able to return for this one, he’d be the best bet for touches in Cleveland’s Quinshon Judkins-less backfield and land in RB3 territory in the Week 17 rankings. We’ll look for further updates on Sampson’s status and get the Browns’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. If he’s out, Raheim Sanders will likely operate as the lead early-down back, with Trayveon Williams handling passing downs.
