Deion Jones will not make Browns debut vs. Patriots

The Browns will not activate Deion Jones from Injured Reserve for their matchup against the Patriots.

While cornerback Greedy Williams is set to make his season debut for the Cleveland Browns, newly-acquired linebacker Deion Jones will not be activated from Injured Reserve. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, we will have to wait another week to see Jones rep the brown and orange for the first time.

Jones was designated for return by the Browns this week, but the team has 21 days to activate him from that moment. With just one week of practice under his belt since shoulder surgery in May (as well as learning a new defensive playbook), it makes sense for the Browns to keep a roster spot for a player that can make an impact against the New England Patriots.

The Browns enter a back-to-back stretch of division rivals after this Sunday, so that would be great timing for Jones to suit up.

Browns won’t rule out LB Deion Jones for Sunday vs. Patriots

With the potent running attack of the Patriots approaching, the Browns are not ruling new LB Deion Jones out.

There is still a solid chance that newly acquired linebacker Deion Jones could make his debut for the Cleveland Browns this Sunday against the New England Patriots. Head coach Kevin Stefanski spoke to the media today and stated they are not ruling Jones out for the matchup after designating him for return from Injured Reserve today.

Jones also spoke to the media today for the first time and sounded optimistic about his chances of getting back onto the field:

“Today will just be my first day of practice and we will see from there… It’s been a process just getting healthy, just like any injury. I feel good, I am glad I got [shoulder surgery] done, and I can’t wait to get back to work”

With the struggling play of the defensive tackles and of middle linebacker Jacob Phillips, Jones (even in his 2021 form) can’t cause any more damage than has already been done.

Browns missing 5 players from practice on Wednesday

The Browns are missing five players from practice on Wednesday

As the Cleveland Browns prepare for the New England Patriots, the continue to get players back on their roster. Linebacker Deion Jones has been designated for return, Greedy Williams might be back, and they have a short list of players missing from practice.

As we hit the mid-week mark, the point where injury reports begin to drop, the Browns are only missing five players from practice. With plenty of time to return to the practice field, the Browns are without wide receiver Amari Cooper, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, guard Joel Bitonio, cornerback Denzel Ward, and safety Ronnie Harrison.

Only one of these players, however, has a lingering worry as Ward remains in the concussion protocol after leaving the game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Otherwise, the other players have had scheduled rests or are in a situation where rest makes sense. Harrison is not practicing with an illness, but that is not expected to be game-threatening either.

Browns CB Denzel Ward leaves game with concussion vs. Chargers

The Browns may be without Denzel Ward the rest of the way as he has left the game with a concussion.

The Cleveland Browns may be without starting cornerback Denzel Ward the rest of the way as he has left the game with a potential concussion. For a defense that is already struggling this is not a break they can afford.

Offensively, the Browns have been able to move the ball at will, scoring four times today, including two Nick Chubb touchdown runs. They are keeping the scoring pace with Justin Herbert and the Chargers, but this game has the making of one that will come down to who has the ball last.

Perhaps he can come back from the protocol, but it is not looking good for Ward.

Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney, Taven Bryan all back vs. Chargers

The Browns are getting all three of their missing defensive linemen back vs. Chargers

It is gameday and the Cleveland Browns will get a massive boost along their defensive trenches as all three starters who missed out a week ago with start against the Los Angeles Chargers. We knew Myles Garrett would be active earlier this week, but both questionables in defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and defensive tackle Taven Bryan will return to the starting lineup today.

Going against the 30th most efficient team on the ground, a poor run defense may catch a break. The stars may just be aligning for the Browns to advance to 3-2 on the season as they could be catching the beat up Chargers at the right time.

Greedy Williams not expected to play vs. Chargers despite return to practice

We will have to wait until next week to see Greedy Williams back in a Browns uniform

Despite being designated for return and practicing all week, the Cleveland Browns are not expected to activate cornerback Greedy Williams off of Injured Reserve just yet. According to The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook, Williams is not expected to play as the Browns get set for battle against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Browns technically have 21 days after designating Williams for return to bring him back to the roster. With M.J. Emerson playing at a decent level, there is no need to throw Williams back out onto the field before he is 100 percent healthy and ready to return. Perhaps we see Williams make his return next week against the New England Patriots.

Jadeveon Clowney returns to practice with Chargers game in sight

The Browns might get a big boost against the Chargers as Jadeveon Clowney has returned to practice.

The Cleveland Browns continue to get healthier and healthier as the Los Angeles Chargers get set to travel to FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday. As their injury list gets less concerning, their biggest question mark for this week has also returned to practice as Jadeveon Clowney is once again in uniform. He spoke to the media yesterday and reiterated how unpleasant it has been to watch from afar. And now he rejoins his teammates.

The Browns need all the help they can get along their defensive interior after getting gashed on the ground against the Falcons. Returning to full health plus trying out a defensive tackle or two has been on the menu for the Browns this week as they look to take down the Chargers.

See for yourself as Clowney is back on the practice field with his teammates.

Greedy Williams back at practice, designated for return from IR

In good news, Greedy Williams has returned to practice for Browns and has been designated for return from Injured Reserve.

The Cleveland Browns get some good news on the injury front as cornerback Greedy Williams is expected to return to practice. As he has served his four weeks on Injured Reserve, he has also been designated from return by the team as they prepare for the high flying Los Angeles Chargers’ passing attack.

The secondary has begun to hit their stride over the past two games, and getting Williams back will be an added bonus after a heartbreaking loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Should he return, expect him and rookie M.J. Emerson to compete for that first spot off the bench when the Browns come out in nickel and dime looks.

Browns still in wait and see mode with Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney

The Browns will have to wait until Wednesday to get a status update on Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney

After getting gashed against the Atlanta Falcons on the ground, the Cleveland Browns are hoping to have three of their starters back up front defensively. We may not know the status of both defensive ends until the middle of the week, however, as head coach Kevin Stefanski has stated the Browns are still not ready to make a determination.

There is no doubt their presence was missed on the field, and now as they plan for a talented Los Angeles Chargers team, the Browns are almost banking on their health. Also snake bitten by injuries, the Browns could potentially be catching the Chargers at the right time should they return to a clean bill of health by Sunday.
