Cleveland Browns tight end Gary Barnidge and wide receiver Travis Benjamin are officially active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Barnidge and Benjamin were listed as questionable Friday after a limited week of practice due to ankle and shoulder injuries, respectively.

The presence of the team's two leading receivers will give Johnny Manziel an opportunity to capitalize on the matchup with a 28th-ranked 49ers defense in his return to the starting lineup.

Barnidge has posted 817 yards on a team-high 60 receptions thus far, while Benjamin leads the club with 826 yards on 54 catches.

Terrelle Pryor is also active for the first time in 2015, making his debut as a wide receiver after transitioning from quarterback.

The Browns' inactives include CB Joe Haden, CB Justin Gilbert, CB Pierre Desir, WR Andrew Hawkins, WR Taylor Gabriel, WR Dwayne Bowe, and OL Gabe Ikard.
