Bitonio (foot) will play Sunday versus the Chargers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. A foot issue caused Bitonio to miss the first two practice sessions of the week, but he was able to return to a limited practice Friday. That appears to be enough for the offensive guard to suit up Sunday. Bitonio has yet to miss an offensive snap through eight games this season.

That appears to be enough for the offensive guard to suit up Sunday. Bitonio has yet to miss an offensive snap through eight games this season.
Bitonio (foot) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Bitonio played 100 percent of the Browns' offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Ravens, however, it appears he sustained a foot injury in the process. The veteran offensive lineman will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 9, when the Browns host the Chargers.
Bitonio has been a full participant in practice during training camp, Patrick Warren of the Browns' official site reports. Bitonio suffered a high-ankle sprain in Cleveland's wild-card loss to Houston in January, but he's since fully recovered. The veteran lineman is slated to work as the Browns' starting left guard once again in 2024.
