2. Browns are getting healthy

Before the Browns went Bye, the team got linebacker Joe Schobert (hamstring) back, and he was a playmaker in the win over the Falcons. Having him makes you realize how valuable he is to the defense.

The Wisconsin product is the second-highest graded linebacker entering Week 12, according to Pro Football Focus.

Now, the Browns will get corner Terrance Mitchell back for Week 12.

Mitchell was having a solid year before he got hurt, although T.J. Carrie and E.J. Gaines (until he got hurt) played well while he was out.

Now the Browns have some serious depth returning for interim coach Gregg Williams.

Mitchell is relentless on making plays on the ball and has three passes defensed, and interception, in addition to forcing two fumbles in four games.

The Bengals game will be the first time since Week 4 that Cleveland will field its Opening Day starting secondary.
