The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are both heading into Monday night’s game with some injury issues, with the Browns potentially adding one more to the list.
In addition to defensive tackle Siaki Ika and safety Jaun Thornhill, who are both considered questionable, star wide receiver Amari Cooper is also there with a groin injury. An injury that according to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter is likely to keep him out of Monday’s game against the Steelers.
Browns’ WR Amari Cooper, who aggravated a groin injury at practice Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday night, is considered unlikely to play vs. the Steelers, per source.

The Steelers are also minus their top receiver this week. Diontae Johnson suffered a hamstring injury in last week’s game and won’t play this week as well. If Cooper doesn’t play, that will certainly lighten the load on a secondary that struggled a great deal against the 49ers.
