HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES
(On if there are any injury updates on QB Baker Mayfield, WR Chris Godwin Jr. or T Tristan Wirfs)
"[They are] all questionable for Sunday – trending in the right directions. We'll see what happens tomorrow with Tristan and Chris. Baker should be okay for Sunday, but he was limited today."
(On how WR Chris Godwin Jr.'s practice ramp-up period is going after Godwin Jr. got a day off of practice on Thursday)
"I mean, it went well, but he was off yesterday after he practiced Wednesday. We'll see how he feels tomorrow."
(On whether Friday was the first time in the week that QB Baker Mayfield threw the ball)
"No, he threw it earlier in the week. He didn't throw a lot, but he threw it. He threw the ball more today."
(On DL Logan Hall's status)
"He's in play for Sunday as well."
(On if he can name any players that are definitely out on Sunday)
"'Izzy' (Christian Izien) and probably Mike [Evans], and we'll go from there."
(On what the offensive line configuration might look like if T Tristan Wirfs plays on Sunday)
"We've been mixing and matching all week, so we have plans A, B, and C in place – if he can and if he can't go – so, we'll be okay."
(On the offensive line's versatility and ability to interchange positions)
"I mean, the more you can do, [the better]. Those guys did a great job preparing. They do a great job in trying to help us win in any capacity, and that shows by the position flex."
(On QB Baker Mayfield's audible to a different play call during the final possession against the New York Jets, and Mayfield's overall ability to process things at the line of scrimmage)
"I think his second year in the offense, the intelligence he's shown – taking it over and understanding what's trying to be done to him and checking to the right play – speaks volumes. He's been doing that the last two minutes the past couple weeks, so it's been great to see."
(On OL Luke Haggard and Elijah Klein's early penalties in Week 3, and what Bowles' expectations are for them moving forward)
"[My expectations are] to get the penalties down for sure, but to play at a high level and just cut the penalties down."
(On whether penalties are also about having playing experience and understanding officiating tendencies)
"We understand how they're going to call the game. We understand the officials every time we go play. I don't care if he's a rookie or a 20-year vet – I don't need the penalties."
(On whether he's figured out how to limit opposing team's ability to score on their opening possession)
"I'll let you know Sunday at 4."
(On how NT Desmond Watson has looked this week in practice)
"[He displayed] good quickness, a lot of technique. It's just a matter of getting the system down, but he gave us a great look this week. He'll get more reps next week, and we'll keep working him."
(On Watson's body composition and fitness)
"He looks good."
