Whitner (concussion) returned to the practice field on Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of Ohio.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner has missed the last two games due to a concussion he suffered in a Week 8 loss to the Cardinals. His status for Sunday is still unknown, but returning to practice is a good sign for Browns' fans. An official decision on his status for Sunday should be made on Friday.

Whitner (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game.

EDGE Analysis

The Browns have lost multiple starters due to concussions this season, particularly in the secondary. Whitner, one such causality due to the head injury, will now miss his second consecutive game, but with the the Browns on bye next week the 30-year-old will have an additional week to rest and recover before Week 12's contest against the Ravens.

Whitner (concussion) did not participate in practice on Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner missed last Thursday's game against the Bengals due to the concussion. He has yet to practice this week and a decision about his availability for Sunday will most likely be made later in the week.

Whitner (concussion) will not practice Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner missed last Thursday's game with a concussion, so his status at practice Tuesday isn't all that surprising. The 30-year-old will likely need to participate in at least one of the Browns' next couple of practices in order to have a shot to play in Week 10, so fantasy owners should check back in closer to the end of the week to confirm his status.

Whitner (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Whitner and teammate Joe Haden were both ruled out with concussions heading into their contest against the Bengals. With Tashaun Gipson also listed as questionable due to an ankle injury, Cleveland could be down three of their starters in the secondary -- giving Cincinnati's star receiver A.J. Green a potentially juicy matchup Thursday.

Whitner (concussion) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Bengals, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner was forced to exit Sunday's loss to the Cardinals due to a concussion, which will prevent him from being cleared ahead of Thursday's upcoming game against the Bengals, according to teammate Tashaun Gipson. With top cornerback Joe Haden (concussion) also out, the Browns' secondary appears rather thin going into a divisional matchup versus an undefeated opponent.

Whitner (concussion) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a concussion, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner suffered a concussion during Sunday's game, but the degree of the head injury is still unknown. The Browns have a quick turnaround this week with a Thursday night game against the Bengals coming up, which may not offer enough time for Whitner to pass concussion protocol tests. Look for Ibraheim Campbell to play in Whitner's place.

Whitner posted nine tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's victory over the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner remains a highly productive IDP option in leagues that require starting defensive backs, as the 30-year-old has collected five or more tackles in each game this season. He remains in search of his first turnover, however.

Whitner collected a team-high seven solo tackles in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner is neck and neck with Karlos Dansby for the team lead in tackles -- a race that projects to be tight all season. Due to the high tackle totals from the defensive back position, Whitner is a valuable commodity in IDP leagues that require a DB roster spot.

Whitner had a team-high 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Whitner led the entire defensive unit in combined tackles a season ago and picked up right where he left off in the opener. The consistently high tackle totals make him an asset in IDP formats where a starting defensive back is required.
