BEREA, Ohio -- Browns cornerback Joe Haden said earlier this week he wants a chance a defend two-time Pro Bowl receiver DeSean Jackson on Sunday.

It's appears likely he will get that opportunity. Haden, who's awaiting a ruling on his suspension appeal, practiced again today.

"I'm just going about the week like I'm going to play," he said.

While Haden might ultimately serve a four-game ban for reportedly testing positive for the stimulant Adderall, it's getting late in the week for the NFL to sideline Haden for the opener.

"We have not been instructed to prepare any announcements," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an email today. "Other than that there is nothing else for us to report on this."

Haden will miss time unless he can get the suspension overturned or reduced.
