BEREA, Ohio - Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III has been cleared for full contact and is eligible to start against the Bengals Dec. 11 at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Coach Hue Jackson said he'll decide later if Griffin, who's missed the past 11 games, will start.
The Browns have their bye this week, and will be off after today until Monday.
The Bengals have a formidable defensive front, but they're struggling this season and have tumbled to 3-7-1. They have won only one of their last seven games -- against the winless Browns, a 31-17 victory in Cincinnati.
