Browns have four players exit Commanders’ game

Cleveland Browns starters Denzel Ward and Charlie Hughlett are ruled out against the Washington Commanders. Defensive starters Grant Delpit and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah are questionable to return.

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.

Browns: David Njoku lands in the top 10 in Madden 24 tight end rankings

The Browns’ TE1 finds himself as the ninth ranked at his position in this year’s game

With Madden 24 set to release next month, EA Sports continues to release the player ratings position-by-position. With the tight end rankings dropping today, the Cleveland Browns have one player ranked in the top ten in David Njoku who ranks ninth at an 84 overall.

Even though he is ranked in the top ten he is the third highest rated tight end in the AFC North behind the Raven’s Mark Andrews at three, with a 95 overall, and the Steeler’s Pat Freiermuth and eight with an 85 overall. Let’s look at how the Browns’ tight end group ranks out in the game.

Note: UDFA’s haven’t been added so some of the Browns training camp players are not rated.

Browns make Charley Hughlett highest paid long snapper in NFL history

The Browns have given their long snapper Charley Hughlett the biggest contract a long snapper has ever seen.

The longest-tenured Cleveland Browns player (well, tied for the longest with guard Joel Bitonio) Charley Hughlett is not going anywhere anytime soon. The Browns have given their long snapper a new contract, extending him for an additional four years according to his agent Brett Tessler.

According to Tessler, the Browns have handed Hughlett the largest signing bonus, the most guaranteed money, and the largest contract in overall value that a long snapper has ever received. Drafting Cade York in the fourth round and signing Corey Bojorquez to a two-year deal, the Browns will have continuity in the special teams room heading into 2023. Well, except for maybe a new coordinator.

If it isn’t broken don’t fix it.
