Kamara (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's clash with the Chiefs, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Kamara missed each of Cleveland's past two contests due to a concussion and logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week. With no designation on Friday's injury report, the defensive end is good to go Sunday against Kansas City. Kamara has been a rotational player for the Browns this season and has accumulated five tackles (three solo) through seven games.
Kamara (concussion) was a limited participant in Cleveland's practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

With Kamara sidelined for Sunday's AFC North clash, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo will serve as the Browns' top rotational defensive end behind starters Isaiah McGuire and Myles Garrett.
Kamara (head) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Broncos, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and James Houston will be the Browns' rotational defensive ends Monday behind Myles Garrett and Isaiah McGuire due to Kamara's injury.
