Browns Injury Report: Still no Amari Cooper or Cedric Tillman with Texans two days away

The Browns are getting set to take on the Texans in the Wild Card round, but need to get two receivers back to practice

As the Cleveland Browns prepare to take on the Houston Texans this weekend in the opening round of the playoffs, they are still without wide receivers Amari Cooper and Cedric Tillman in practice.

Cooper missed the final two games of the season against the New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals, and is listed as a rest-related “did not practice.” There is hope there is no fear of his status for Saturday’s game. Tillman, however, suffered a concussion against the Bengals and will be a further shot to suit up.

However, several other starters returned to practice, including Pro Bowlers Myles Garrett, David Njoku, and Joel Bitonio. Safety Juan Thornhill, who has been battling a calf injury all season, has also returned to practice with fellow defensive back Greg Newsome II.

All in all, the Browns are entering this Wild Card matchup as healthy as they have been in quite a while. Can they get Cooper and Tillman back to practice today in their final tune-up before they travel to Houston?

Here is every player who either missed practice or was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Browns Injury Alert: WR Cedric Tillman exits game vs. Bengals with a concussion

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman exits game vs. Bengals with a head injury

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Cedric Tillman suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of the game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Tillman hit his head on the turf after snagging an eighteen-yard pass. The rookie receiver was immediately escorted into the medical tent.

The Cleveland Browns rested most of their starters after securing the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs last week. The team hoped they could decrease the injury risk of their starting unit. Unfortunately, the Browns cannot escape the horrible injury luck that has haunted the team all season.

Tillman was finishing his rookie season on a strong note. The receiver became a big part of the offense after the Browns traded wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones at the trade deadline. Today, Tillman had three receptions for 43 yards.

The Cleveland Browns need Tillman’s physicality as the team starts their playoff run next week. The big-bodied receiver is an important threat on the outside. His style of play compliments fellow receivers Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore perfectly. He is an important piece of the offense.

PFF’s 10 highest-graded Browns’ offensive players vs. Broncos

The offense lost all momentum after the rookie went down

It was a slow start for the offense of the Cleveland Browns, but after they settled in rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson played well. He made several throws that showcased the arm talent he has and started to push the ball down the field which he didn’t do during the win over the Steelers. I think that if he hadn’t gotten injured Cleveland should have been able to win.

The run game was going well at times and Jerome Ford continues to grow as a running back and improve as the season has gone on. He runs hard and is decisive though he struggles to locate some of the cut-back lanes and other opportunities for more yardage.

Though they didn’t convert many drives into points overall it was nice to see the rookie grow. But one thing is clear the Browns cannot start P.J. Walker anymore he just isn’t good enough to play quarterback in the NFL which means if DTR can’t go it should be Joe Flacco as the starter.

4 Downs: Browns drop to 7-4 after sloppy loss to Broncos

The Browns had some momentum built up with Dorian Thompson-Robinson, but could not get out of their own way against the Broncos.

All good things must come to an end. After winning their last three and four of their last five, the Cleveland Browns finally found themselves back in the loss column. After losing rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson to a concussion at the end of the third quarter against the Denver Broncos, the game quickly slipped out of reach.

Before exiting, the rookie quarterback had found a stride. He was connecting with his targets over the middle and down the field, picking up chunk plays for the Cleveland offense. However, once P.J. Walker took the field, the Browns found no success on the offensive side of the ball as Russell Wilson and the Broncos have now made it five in a row.

While it is not a joyous 4 Downs as it has been in weeks prior, here is this week’s edition of the postgame instant analysis column. Let’s hope for a better outcome next week.
