Oakland Raiders quarterback Charlie Frye has been cleared to play after sustaining a concussion against Denver last week and will start Sunday's game against his former team, the Cleveland Browns.

Frye was injured after being hit by Denver linebacker Andra Davis in the fourth quarter of the Raiders' 20-19 win over the Broncos. He was replaced by former top overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who directed a game-winning touchdown drive in the final minutes.

After undergoing a series of tests this week, Frye was cleared by team doctors and practiced without restrictions Wednesday. He showed no lingering symptoms from the concussion, encouraging news for the Raiders, who earlier in the day signed quarterback Jeff Otis to their practice squad.
