BEREA -- Browns running back Peyton Hillis participated in team drills today and expects to play Sunday in Cincinnati.
Ccoach Pat Shurmur said he is a game-time decision.
"I'm excited I feel 100% again,'' he said. "It's looking very positive for this game.''
Hillis took plenty of reps in practice today and is on pace to play for the first time since early on in the Oakland game Oct. 16.
"We're all shooting for this Sunday,'' he said. "I'm working my best to get out there, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity. I'm eager and excited about it."
On Monday, Shurmur had ruled Hillis out for Sunday's game, but Hillis made such strong progress Thursday and today that he's expected to play.
Hillis said his recovery was hastened by a Platelet Rich Plasma injection in the hamstring about two-and-a-half weeks ago.
Running back Montario Hardesty is expected to start and share the running load with Hillis and Chris Ogbonnaya. Shurmur said that when all three are healthy, Hillis will start, Hardesty will be No. 2 and Ogbonnaya No. 3.
