Cleveland Browns lost a rash of starters during the third quarter against the Washington Commanders. Two two longtime starters were ruled out. Franchise cornerback Denzel Ward exited the game with a hamstring injury. The Browns also lost their longest tenured player, long snapper, Charlie Hughlett with a rib injury.
Defensive stars Grant Delpit and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah walked to the locker room with medical trainers during the third quarter. They are questionable to return. The Browns have struggled to stay healthy during the start of the season.
Denzel Ward had a rough game against the Commanders. Ward was beat one time on a deep ball after Ward failed to gauge the ball’s distance and tried undercutting the long pass. Ward wasn’t aware of how good Jayden Daniels is. Daniels tested Ward during the second quarter and Ward almost intercepted the pass. A Commanders’ receiver broke up the pass at the catch point.
Hughlett has battled injuries all season. The Browns brought in long snapper Rex Sunahara during the preseason to give Hughlett time to recover. The Browns might bring back the local standout if Hughlett doesn’t recover.
