It only took one play for the Cleveland Browns to fall behind the injury bug as center Ethan Pocic has left with a knee injury. Pocic is questionable to return for the Browns as Hjalte Froholdt has entered the game at center for Cleveland.

Up 7-3 on the Buffalo Bills after an Amari Cooper touchdown on the opening drive of the game, the defense has bucked up on two straight drives. The Browns, however, have not had much luck running the football, and the loss of Pocic has been the primary factor in this one. The Browns are looking to get their fourth win of the season and steal one from the Bills here.

CB Greg Newsome being evaluated for concussion after collision in practice

The Browns are listing Greg Newsome as questionable after suffering a collision in practice. He is being evaluated for a concussion.

Just as the Cleveland Browns begin to get healthy while the Buffalo Bills rule out starters, they get hit with bad news after Friday’s practice. As they prepare to travel to Detroit to take on the Bills, cornerback Greg Newsome suffered a hit in practice that has landed him in the concussion evaluation process.

The Browns just got Denzel Ward back, and it seems they cannot keep both starting cornerbacks on the field at the same time. In addition to a potential concussion, Newsome was listed as questionable for this weather-induced neutral site game with an oblique injury.

Needing all the help they can get to limit the Buffalo passing attack in a weather-controlled environment, losing Newsome would be a big blow to the Browns.

Browns Injury Alert: Wyatt Teller exits in first quarter vs. Dolphins

After missing the past few weeks with an injured calf, Wyatt Teller has exited the game against the Dolphins as well.

The Cleveland Browns will likely be without their starting right guard the rest of the way against the Miami Dolphins. After missing multiple weeks with an injured calf, right guard Wyatt Teller exited this game in the first quarter as well.

In his relief, the Browns will count on Hjalte Froholdt to hold down the fort the rest of the way in this one. Froholdt started in the absence of Teller as well and did so without drawing much negative attention to his play. Down by three points coming off of a Harrison Bryant touchdown and a Nick Chubb fumble, the Browns look to stay in this one against the Dolphins.

Browns Injury Alert: Jack Conklin makes early trip to locker room vs. Bengals

Browns’ Right tackle Jack Conklin has exited early at the half against the Bengals

Just before the half struck, the Cleveland Browns were left without right tackle Jack Conklin. The starting right tackle was seen pointing to his foot as he entered the locker room early, leaving second-year tackle James Hudson to take over his post. Hudson has started two games for the Browns this season and played quite well. He may have to take over the rest of the way tonight.

Conklin has seen his career derailed by injuries over the past two seasons after being named an All-Pro in 2020. He almost retired this past offseason before returning to the Browns. As his contract is set to expire after the season, we hope this is not how he ends his time in Cleveland.

Injury Alert: Browns TE Pharaoh Brown also leaves game vs. Ravens

The Browns are now down two tight ends as Pharaoh Brown has also left the game against the Ravens.

After the Cleveland Browns ruled out tight end David Njoku with an ankle injury against the Baltimore Ravens, they have lost another tight end as well. Brown is currently being evaluated for a concussion for the Browns, leaving just Harrison Bryant as the only active tight end on the roster.

The Browns currently sit within striking distance of the Ravens after a Kareem Hunt touchdown, down just three points with about four minutes left in this contest. They will need the defense to make a stop and force just a field goal, and then they will need to adjust offensively given the injuries at tight end.

What a way to celebrate National Tight Ends Day.

Injury Alert: Browns TE David Njoku goes to locker room vs. Ravens

The Browns may be down one of their top pass catchers as David Njoku has headed to the locker room vs. the Ravens

The Cleveland Browns were leaning heavily on tight end David Njoku against the Baltimore Ravens. However, their offensive plan of attack might have to change as their breakout star has headed to the locker room with the trainers at the end of the third quarter. His injury is undisclosed at this point.

Njoku is the Browns’ leading receiver in this game, as he has racked up 71 yards on seven catches thus far. Harrison Bryant will take over as the primary tight end should Njoku be unable to return. Losing Njoku would be a huge blow in a game the Browns currently only trail by seven.
