The Cleveland Browns host the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon. Rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston is questionable due to a toe injury. However, Boston is expected to play, barring a surprise, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. His availability would be a welcome development for quarterback Deshaun Watson. The latter himself will return after clearing concussion protocol. Here's everything we know about Boston's injury and his playing status against Houston.

Denzel Boston's injury status vs. Texans
Boston missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices before returning as a limited participant on Friday. His progress has reportedly put him on track to suit up against the Texans. Having Boston available would give Watson another perimeter option alongside KC Concepcion and tight end Harold Fannin Jr.
The timing could not be much better for Cleveland. The Browns enter Week 10 at 5-4 after consecutive losses. Watson's return offers an opportunity to stabilize an offense that has struggled behind an injury-hit offensive line. Boston gives Watson another option in a crucial matchup before the Browns' Week 11 bye.
As for the question of whether Denzel Boston is playing in Week 10 against Houston, the latest report points to yes, barring an unexpected setback.
