Browns call Andrew Hawkins a game-time decision vs. Bengals

Could Andrew Hawkins actually miss his Cincinnati reunion on Thursday Night Football?

Probably not, but the Browns are keeping their cards close to the vest as the receiver deals with a knee and thigh injury that caused him to miss practice Monday. Head coach Mike Pettine said that Hawk will be a game-time decision for Thursday Night Football.

However, expect Hawkins to be active when he faces the Bengals for the first time since leaving to sign with Cleveland this offseason.
