inherits 7% of CLE targets (55% vacated, his claim 12%)
Concepcion (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Just three days after sustaining a concussion when he was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit from the Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick, Concepcion was able to make enough progress through the five-step protocol to open Week 6 prep on the field, albeit in a limited fashion. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full participation and will then need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol. If Concepcion can't play Sunday against the Ravens, Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond would be in line for added reps alongside Denzel Boston (foot) in two- and three-receiver sets.
Concepcion is progressing well in his recovery from a concussion and is set to practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Concepcion told reporters after Wednesday's practice that he's looking forward to carrying his strong play in training camp into the regular season, starting with the Browns' Week 1 clash against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 13, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
"...Seeing that these coaches have trust built up in me to put me in different type of situations, I would say that it only makes me more excited for Week 1," Concepcion shared with reporters Wednesday. Concepcion's lone preseason appearance was against the Bears on Aug. 15, but he looked good in that game and finished with three catches (on four targets) for 27 yards while adding a 14-yard rushing touchdown and a 31-yard punt return. The Texas A&M product was one of the standout players for the Browns in training camp, and the rookie first-rounder has enough trust from his coaching staff to be an immediate contributor on offense. Concepcion, fellow rookie Denzel Boston, veteran Jerry Jeudy, tight end Harold Fannin and running back Quinshon Judkins figure to be the key playmakers for the Browns this season, with Deshaun Watson manning the offense.
Concepcion was Cleveland's most impressive performer in Saturday's 34-10 preseason loss to the Bears, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
The highlight of Concepcion's NFL debut was a 14-yard touchdown run on a jet sweep. The rookie first-round pick also caught three of four targets for 27 yards and added a 31-yard punt return. Cleveland's coaching staff will likely try to scheme the ball into the speedy Concepcion's hands in the regular season, but the team's entire offense could be held back by subpar quarterback play based on Saturday's performance.
