Starting wide receiver Terrelle Pryor will push through a hamstring injury to play when the Browns (0-6) face the Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.

Pryor entered the weekend listed as questionable and didn't practice last week after injuring his right hamstring Oct. 16 in the third quarter of a 28-26 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Pryor finished the game and vowed to do everything in his power to play against the Bengals, who cut him  in June 2015.

Pryor leads the Browns in catches (33), receiving yards (413) and touchdown receptions (three).

The Browns have had preliminary contract extension talks regarding Pryor, who's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden will miss his third game this season and second in a row with a groin injury. He was listed as doubtful entering the weekend.

Veteran cornerback Tramon Williams, who missed two games earlier this season with a sprained shoulder, is expected to start in place of Haden, the Browns announced.

In addition to Haden, quarterback Josh McCown (fractured left collarbone), wide receiver Corey Coleman (broken right hand), cornerback Marcus Burley (hamstring), tight end Seth DeValve (left knee), fullback Dan Vitale and outside linebacker Corey Lemonier will be inactive against the Bengals.

Tight end Randall Telfer (high-ankle sprain) and defensive lineman Xavier Cooper (shoulder) will be active for Browns. They were listed as questionable entering the weekend. Telfer missed the past two games, and Cooper sat out last week.

For the Bengals, quarterback Jeff Driskel, wide receiver Cody Core, cornerbacks KeiVarae Russell, Chykie Brown and Chris Lewis-Harris, offensive lineman Christian Westerman and defensive tackle DeShawn Williams will be inactive against the Browns.

Bengals Pro Bowl tight end Tyler Eifert will play for the first time this season. He missed the first six games with back and ankle injuries and entered the weekend listed as questionable.
