Browns postgame injury update: Denzel Ward’s status improves

Stefanski had positive news on a few players in his Monday press conference

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski offered an update on the list of injured players during his Monday press conference. Coach Stefanski had some encouraging news on a few fronts.

Most notable is the update on cornerback Denzel Ward. Stefanski used the term “day-to-day” to describe Ward and not the “week-to-week” terming he’s used with the Pro Bowl CB the last two weeks. Ward has a calf strain and has missed the last two games.

Stefanski also advised that linebacker Mack Wilson did not suffer a concussion during Sunday’s win over Tennessee. Wilson left the game and was evaluated for a brain injury but tests cleared Wilson.

On the wide receiver front, Taywan Taylor is still sidelined with a neck injury. The team is “gathering more info” on Taylor but he remains out for the immediate future. KhaDarel Hodge joined Ward in “day-to-day” status after missing Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury.

Lastly, defensive end Porter Gustin is “making progress” in getting activated from the team’s reserve/COVID-19 list. Gustin is the only player still on the list. Stefanski is hopeful Gustin can return for the Week 14 Monday Night Football matchup with the Ravens.
