Scott Fujita Unlikely To Play Sunday Against Eagles

By Patrick Hayes  @patrick_hayes on Sep 9 2012, 10:03a +

Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita is still unlikely to play Sunday, but he could dress, according to Albert Breer of NFL.com:

Also, like I said earlier, Fujita a likely healthy scratch, tho roster issues elsewhere could force Browns to dress him. Leg not an issue.

Fujita was originally suspended for the first three games for his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, but he was one of four players to successfully appeal and have his suspension lifted. Fujita injured his ankle early in the preseason and has missed significant practice time.

The Browns play the Eagles at 1 p.m. Sunday. Cleveland's defense will get a boost from another formerly suspended player who won his appeal, defensive back Joe Haden.
