Just days after getting running back Kareem Hunt back from the non-football injury list , the Cleveland Browns got another ball carrier back on the field.Undrafted rookie running back Trayone Gray was activated from the non-football injury list on Monday after passing a physical. Gray had missed the start of training camp due to a calf injury.Gray was a rotational option at the University of Miami (FL) behind starter Travis Homer, who was a sixth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks. Gray appeared in 10 games for the Hurricanes last year, rushing for 83 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries and catching four passes for 37 yards.Gray will try to find his way into a roster spot alongside Hunt , Nick Chubb, Duke Johnson, Dontrell Hilliard , D'Ernest Johnson and A.J. Ouellette. With Hunt set to serve an eight-game suspension to start the year, that could leave one extra spot available for the first half of the season. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns rookie Denzel Ward remains in concussion protocol after getting hurt in Sunday’s loss at Houston.Ward got injured in the first half and did not return in Cleveland’s 29-13 loss to the Texans , who won their ninth straight game.Interim coach Gregg Williams said Ward was initially checked for a neck “stinger” before he was evaluated for a head injury. The No. 4 overall pick in this year’s draft, Ward has three interceptions this season.Williams has been critical of Ward’s tackling in the past and said the former Ohio State star needed to be lower before he took contact.Williams said defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi is still being evaluated for a biceps injury. Ogunjobi also got hurt in the first half and kept playing before sitting out the second half.It’s too early to say if either Ward or Ogunjobi will be available Sunday when the Browns (4-7-1) host Carolina.
