It seemed highly unlikely we would see Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion on the practice field this week after a brutal hit from Minkah Fitzpatrick that knocked him out of the game against the New York Jets in the first quarter on Sunday. However, he returned to practice earlier in the week, has cleared concussion protocol, and is set to play against the Baltimore Ravens
on Sunday.Concepcion might be on a pitch count after the injury, just to be safe, but having him back will be massive for the Browns as they try to get their second divisional win of the season at home. Isaiah Bond struggled to hold onto the ball when Concepcion went down, so having him back will help ease some of the pressure on Bond to make big plays.

Watson was sacked eight times this past week, and part of the problem was not having a quick answer to deal with free blitzers. Concepcion does a fantastic job separating quickly after the snap and will give Watson an outlet in those situations, hopefully helping eliminate some negative plays and giving the offense more easy answers it desperately missed last week.
