Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway is eligible to return to the team after facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

The second-year wideout, who suffered a high ankle sprain in August, is expected to be active for a Week 5 Monday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

"I'm assuming he's ready to go," head coach Freddie Kitchens said Monday, according to Scott Petrak of the Chronicle-Telegram and Medina Gazette. "I expect nothing else out of Antonio. And I'm glad to have him back."

A fourth-round pick in 2018, Callaway recorded 43 catches, 586 yards, and a team-high five touchdowns as a rookie.

The 22-year-old's return comes in good timing for the Browns, as Jarvis Landry suffered a concussion in Week 4 and fourth-year receiver Rashard Higgins remains sidelined with a knee injury.
