Denzel Ward will get an MRI on his injured calf

Browns CB Denzel Ward will get an MRI on his injured calf

Denzel Ward turned in a dominant performance on Sunday in the Browns win over the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. The Pro Bowl cornerback broke up four passes, intercepting one of those, and had a QB pressure that forced Eagles QB Carson Wentz to throw a pick-six to LB Sione Takitaki.

Ward apparently performed his heroics despite playing through a calf injury. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said during his Monday press conference that Ward will need an MRI on the injured calf to determine the severity and his availability for the Week 12 trip to Jacksonville.

Ward did not miss a single snap during the game and showed no ill effects of any injury late in the game. Calf injuries can be tricky, however; right guard Wyatt Teller missed four games with a calf strain that didn’t initially appear serious.

This is the first time this season Ward has had any notable malady. He’s missed time in each of his first two seasons with shoulder and hamstring issues.

Browns final injury report for Week 11 has no players ruled out

The injury report has 2 starters listed as questionable

No players were ruled out due to injury for the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. That’s the good news from the team’s final injury report of the week, following Friday’s practice session in Berea.

Two players, right guard Wyatt Teller and linebacker Mack Wilson, are designated questionable for Sunday’s matchup at FirstEnergy Stadium against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. Both Teller and Wilson were limited participants on Friday. Teller is still nursing a calf strain while Wilson continues to be limited with a hip injury. Both played in Week 10.

The injury list is different than the reserve/COVID-19 list, however. And that list remains populated with several useful Browns. Most notable is Myles Garrett, who will not play on Sunday after being placed on the list on Friday.

Right tackle Jack Conklin and kicker Cody Parkey are both still on the list. If they test negative for COVID-19 again before Sunday, Conklin and Parkey can be activated in time to play against the Eagles.

Final Browns Week 2 injury report: 4 out, 6 questionable for Thursday’s game with the Bengals

The top 3 offensive tackles are all questionable

The Cleveland Browns will enter the Week 2 home opener against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals shorthanded thanks to a crowded final injury report. Four players were ruled out of Thursday’s game in the team’s final official injury list.

CB Kevin Johnson (liver), LB Jacob Phillips (knee), CB Greedy Williams (shoulder), LB Mack Wilson (knee) will all miss the game. None of those are surprising developments; all but Phillips also missed Week 1 with their injuries suffered in training camp. Phillips was injured in Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens and was in a large knee brace later that night.

Three of the six players designated as questionable are offensive tackles. Starting left tackle Jedrick Wills (shin), right tackle Jack Conklin (ankle, finger) and top backup Chris Hubbard (ankle) are all game-day decisions to face the Bengals.

They’re joined by WR Jarvis Landry (hip), C JC Tretter (knee) and DE Olivier Vernon (abdomen) with the questionable designation. All six questionable players were limited participants in practice on Wednesday.
