Browns vs. Bills officially moved to Detroit due to weather

The Browns vs. Bills is officially on the move to Detroit as Buffalo is set for heavy snow.

The NFL had no choice but to move the matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills to Ford Field in Detroit. It was rumored to be an option, and now the league officially makes the call. While another snow matchup of Browns vs. Bills would have been a load of fun, there is no space on the NFL schedule for a potential cancellation should the weather turn out to be too severe.

Both the Browns and the Bills have already sat out their bye week, and with Buffalo set to play again on Thanksgiving day on Thursday, the league needed this game to be played on Sunday. It is an unfortunate but necessary call to make to keep the gears turning.

David Njoku returns to practice after missing 2 games

After missing the last two games for the Browns, tight end David Njoku has returned to practice with the Bills up next.

After missing the last two games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins, the Cleveland Browns saw the return of tight end David Njoku to practice today. Resting his ankle for three weeks now including the bye, getting their breakout tight end back on the field in time for the snowy affair against Buffalo Bills would be a massive deal.

Njoku was on pace for 1,000 yards receiving before spraining his ankle against the Baltimore Ravens. Getting one of the bigger mismatch nightmares around the league back (and one of the better blocking tight ends) will also allow linebackers and safeties to think for an extra second. This should help jumpstart the run game after struggling against the Dolphins as well.

This is just a practice, but Njoku seems to be trending toward playing against the Bills.

Browns vs. Bills could be moved to Detroit pending forecast

As the NFL keeps an eye on the weather in Buffalo, there is a chance the Browns vs. Bills could be moved to the Motor City

As the weather forecast looks fierce in New York, the matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills could be on the move. As they did in 2014, the NFL is discussing the possibility of moving the Browns vs. Bills to Detroit should the weather turn for the worst in Buffalo.

With the Bills set to play on Thanksgiving day, and with both teams already burning their bye week, the NFL does not have an option but to get this game played this week. Playing in the snow would give the Browns an advantage given the strength of their run game and the lack of a rushing attack the Bills possess. Playing in a dome, however, puts the ball back in the Bills’ court.

This will be a situation to monitor closely.

Browns vs. Bills: David Njoku, two others not practicing Wednesday

The Browns are missing David Njoku and two others from Wednesday’s practice as they prepare for the Bills.

The Cleveland Browns are getting a big name back at practice today, but are missing three others as they get ready for a potential snowy game against the Buffalo Bills. Tight end David Njoku is the headliner who is out of practice, still nursing a high ankle sprain.

The other two names missing are reserve players in offensive guard Michael Dunn, nursing a back injury, and safety D’Anthony Bell, who is dealing with a concussion. This does, however, mean that linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is back at practice for the Browns.

In desperate need of an upset win, the Browns are trending in the right direction health-wise.
