The battle in the Browns’ wide receiving corps is rounding third and heading home as we’ll soon know who fill out the bottom of the depth chart.

Many Buckeye fans will wonder if Braxton Miller has enough time to make a push to get on the squad.

He helped himself agains Buccaneers, as he barely practiced yet still turned in two catches against the Bucs.

With the Battle for the Barge set to shine the spotlight on backups as the starters rest, Miller will certainly get his fair share of opportunities against the Lions.

With Antonio Callaway suspended, and Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins having jobs looked up, it’s likely Jaelan Strong has the fourth spot, while Damion Ratley and Derrick Willies will round out the final two spots.

D.J. Montgomery was a contender to take a roster spot, but has since been played on Injured Reserve.

If things go as expected and Willies and Ratley make the team, something will have to give when Callaway becomes eligible.
