Hillis was missing for the 15-minute period open to reporters on Friday as the Browns prepared to play the Miami Dolphins.
At the start of Thursday's practice, Hillis appeared to injure himself during a drill but stayed on the field for the remainder of the workout and reported no problems afterward.
Team spokesman Neal Gulkis said Browns coach Pat Shurmur would address Hillis' status following practice.
Hillis, who rushed for 1,177 yards last season, is in negotiations for a contract extension with the Browns.
He scored two touchdowns last week in Cleveland's win at Indianapolis.

So posting two news bits is an over reaction???

News bit #3 for all you over reactors out there!

Browns | Montario Hardesty ready to step up if needed Fri Sep 23, 09:05 PM Cleveland Browns RB Montario Hardesty took all the first-team reps at practice Friday, Sept. 23, and said he is ready if needed in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins with RB Peyton Hillis (illness) under the weather. 'I'd like to see him play early in the game, so where that ends up being, it would definitely mean the first half and probably the first quarter,' head coach Pat Shurmur said. 'It was good for Montario to get with the (first team) in most of the reps today.'
Our view: Hardesty might be worth picking up in very deep leagues on this news, but Hillis should still be a fine RB2 start vs. Miami.
