Amari Cooper, Juan Thornhill active vs. Steelers as Browns name 5 inactives

The Cleveland Browns get some great news as they get set to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just 90 minutes away from this AFC North showdown on Monday Night Football, wide receiver will be active and play in this one after tweaking his groin late in the week. Safety Juan Thornhill will also make his Cleveland debut after missing the first week of the season with a calf injury.

This is a huge boost for a team looking to get off to not only a 2-0 start for the first time in 30 years, but to a 2-0 start in the AFC North as well. With a win, the Browns would sit atop the AFC North, taking the tiebreaker over the Baltimore Ravens (who they will play in Week 4) with more divisional wins.

With just about an hour until kickoff, the Browns have listed five players as inactive. Here is the full list.
