The Cleveland Browns are expected to activate running back Terrance West on Sunday, after he was a healthy scratch one week ago.
Entering Week 6, rookie running back Terrance West was the Cleveland Browns’ leading rusher. However, he was a healthy scratch and ruled inactive for the team’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

That will likely change on Sunday.
According to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal, Browns head coach Mike Pettine said that West had a good week of practice and he expects the rookie to be active when the Browns take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7.
By being inactive last weekend, West is now third on the team in rushing.
Ben Tate leads the team with 243 yards and two touchdowns, fellow rookie Isaiah Crowell has 237 yards and a team-leading four touchdowns, and West has 235 yards and two scores.

With West back in the lineup, the belief is that Tate will resume as the starter, while West and Crowell split carries as the change of pace back.
Crowell has received a bulk of the goal line carries, but that could change if West is able to build off of his good week of practice and turn that into an impressive performance against the lackluster Jaguars.
