The Cleveland Browns are still on par with the lowly expectations experts had for them back in the offseason, as the team is now 0-4 following a 31-7 beatdown at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
As one of the only four winless teams remaining this season, the Browns obviously need all hands on deck every week as they try to get that elusive first win. A report from a source, per the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, suggests that added help will come the Browns way' in Week 5, with No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett expected to be activated to play.

The rookie defensive end missed the Browns' first four games with an ankle injury. He flirted with making his debut in Week 4 after returning to practice last Thursday but he was ultimately held out by the team. He would’ve given Cleveland’s defense a boost against Cincinnati, with both Danny Shelton and Jamie Collins ruled out for the contest.
As a result, the Bengals had a field day dissecting the Browns’ defense, finishing with 350 total yards. Cleveland’s stop unit did little to slow down Andy Dalton, who completed 25 of 30 passes for 286 yards and four touchdowns.
Should he eventually be green-lighted to make his debut in the Browns’ next game, Garrett will be getting his NFL baptism against a rejuvenated New York Jets team that has cobbled together two straight victories.
