BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Browns star cornerback Joe Haden returned to practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Haden injured his right shoulder last week when he fell hard while trying to make an interception in a loss to Cincinnati. He didn't practice two days this week and was limited Friday. Browns coach Mike Pettine says Haden is sore and it's a "timing thing" if he plays.

Browns leading receiver Andrew Hawkins returned to practice after missing one day with an unspecified illness. Safety Tashaun Gipson will miss his fourth straight game with a knee injury. Gipson still leads the AFC with six interceptions.

Linebacker Karlos Dansby is questionable with a knee injury that has sidelined him for four straight games with a knee injury. Rookie cornerback K'Waun Williams has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
