Alex Wright comes up huge with late sack and safety vs. Jaguars

The third-year player continues to make plays on the field.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Alex Wright came through when the team needed it most, securing a sack and safety with less than two minutes left in the game in their win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After a fantastic punt by punter Corey Bojorquez that went out of bounds at the one-yard line, the defense immediately went to work. Wright made the sack on Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence on the first play of the drive. Lawrence was quickly surrounded by multiple Browns defenders and had nowhere to go when Alex Wright took him down in the end zone.

This is Wright’s sixth sack of his NFL career and his first of the season. He has spent all three years of his professional career with Cleveland after being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The Browns’ defense has made some dominant plays this afternoon thanks to Wright and other star defenders.

The Browns currently hold an 18-13 lead and are working towards securing this victory in Jacksonville.

Browns WR David Bell carted off with hip injury vs. Jaguars

Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell left the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a hip injury. He will not return.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell left the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a hip injury. Bell injured his hip when he was tackled by Jaguars’ defensive tackle Arik Armstead. Bell left the field on the injury cart keeping his right leg elevated. He has been ruled out with a hip injury.

Bell re-signed with the team earlier this week after being placed on the practice squad before the Browns home opener. Bell was a surprise cut heading into the first game. The move was made to foster some roster shuffling ahead of the Cowboys game.

Bell played well in his first game back with the team. The wide receiver caught all three targets for 27 yards in the first half. Bell is a trustworthy target for quarterbacks despite his limited athleticism. The offense will miss his consistency.

The Browns’ offense started hot against the Jaguars. The Browns are leading the Jaguars 16-3 at the start of the second half.

RT Dawand Jones leaves Jaguars game with cramps Questionable to Return

The Cleveland Browns right tackle Dawand Jones exited the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with cramps.

The Cleveland Browns right tackle Dawand Jones exited the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the second quarter. The second-year tackle was shown heading into the locker room with a couple of trainers.

Jones is suffering from cramps and his return is questionable. The Browns are playing in Jacksonville.

The tackle was starting in place for an injured Jack Conklin. Conklin was listed as inactive by the Browns this morning. Germain Ifedi has replaced Jones in the lineup. Hopefully, Jones can return later in the game. The Browns need him healthy this season.

The Browns have started hot. The Browns have bullied the Jaguars on both sides of the ball. The defense has shut down the Jaguars to a handful of plays. The Browns offense has steamrolled over the Jaguars’ defense on two drives. The Browns must continue dominating the Jaguars in the trenches for them to secure a win today.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram injures hamstring in warmups; out vs. Browns

That’s one less weapon to defend.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced that starting tight end Evan Engram is out against the Cleveland Browns for today’s Week 2 matchup.

After being projected to start for the Jaguars this week, Evan Engram was announced as out late this morning. Engram aggravated his hamstring during his pregame warmup routine and was not comfortable enough to participate in today’s game. There are no details as to what Engram was doing when the injury occurred. The extent of his injury is also unclear and we will most likely find out more after this afternoon’s contest. Luke Farrell will look to replace Engram.

In week 1, Engram did not perform his best but still saw four targets from his QB and caught one pass for five yards. This is a tough loss for the Jaguars as Trevor Lawrence lost a much-needed blocker and one of his favorite targets.

This is a break for the Browns defense who will now look to focus more on wide receivers Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Brian Thomas Jr.

RB Jerome Ford gets wrist X-rays following Browns win vs. Jaguars

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford gets X-rays on his arm and wrist following the victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford got X-rays on his wrist after the victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jerome Ford briefly exited the game with a wrist injury. The starting running back was injured when he was tackled for a loss during the fourth quarter. The trainers immediately began testing Ford’s arm and wrist area after he walked to the sideline with pain visible on his face. Ford continued to play through whatever pain or injury he suffered as the Browns went on to beat the Jaguars.

Ford had for 42 yards on nine carries, and he caught four passes for 26 yards before his injury. He finished the game with three more carries for nine yards and a reception for seven yards. The toughness Ford displayed today will win fans and the admiration of his teammates.

The season’s theme for the Cleveland Browns is resiliency. The team has battled their way through injuries all season, and at 8-5 on the season, they’re winning a majority of those battles. Ford will have a week to heal before the Browns take on the Chicago Bears next Sunday.

Browns Injury Alert: S Grant Delpit leaves Jaguars game with groin injury

Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit exits the Jaguars game with a groin injury.

Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit went down with an injury during the fourth quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The veteran safety injured his groin while he was blitzing Trevor Lawrence. Delpit jumped into Lawrence’s passing window and landed on Myles Garrett. Delpit was down on the field for quite a while before trainers were able to escort him off the field and into the medical tent. Delpit was later driven into the locker room on the cart. He is questionable to return. He is one of many starters to exit with an injury.

Grant Delpit played an up-and-down game against the Jaguars. The safety had a crucial sack on third down that knocked the Jaguars out of field goal range. However, Delpit found himself targeted in two major plays between Evan Engram and Lawrence. One resulted in a touchdown, the other resulted in a first down.

Delpit signed a three-year thirty-six million dollar extension this morning. Delpit has been an integral piece of the Browns number one number-one-ranked defense and the team cemented him as a long-term piece.

Browns Injury Alert: CB Cameron Mitchell leaves game vs. Jaguars

Cleveland Browns CB Cameron Mitchell leaves the Jaguars game with an injury.

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Cameron Mitchell exited the game against the Jaguars during the third quarter. Mitchell was slow to get up after Travis Etienne’s touchdown run and walked off the field with the athletic trainers. He was escorted to the medical attempt immediately.

The rookie cornerback is playing his first game all month after being activated from injured reserve. Mitchell suffered a severe hamstring injury in the game against the Cardinals.

Mitchell started at nickelback as the team moved Greg Newsome II outside to replace Denzel Ward. Mitchell is a great option at slot, he seeks out ball carriers with the intensity of a safety, and can still cover wide receivers. Mitchell has a bright future with the team.

The Browns have struggled mightily at the slot role over the last month as the team has lost multiple cornerbacks to injury. The team needs to find a way to replace the backup if he’s unavailable to play. The Browns are currently beating the Jaguars 21-14 heading into the fourth quarter.

Browns Injury Alert: DT Jordan Elliott ruled out with concussion vs. Jaguars

Cleveland Browns DT Jordan Elliott exits game vs. Jaguars for a concussion evaluation

Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Jordan Elliott exited the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an injury. He left at the two-minute drill during the second quarter. He has a concussion per Mary Kay Cabot. The Browns have been plagued with concussion injuries over the past month, as they’ve lost multiple starters to the injury.

Elliott is an important part of the defensive tackle rotation. His unique blend of size, speed, and strength makes him an asset against the run and passing game. He’s a valuable starter. The Browns have a deep defensive tackle room and will rely on Maurice Hurst II and Shelby Harris during the second half. The veteran duo are a commendable pair and should have no problem facing a depleted Jaguars offensive line.

The Browns’ defense has suffocated the Jaguars so far in the matchup. Elliott contributed for one tackle. The Browns are currently beating the Jaguars 14-7 heading into halftime.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence to start vs. Browns

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to start against the Cleveland Browns

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to start against the Cleveland Browns this afternoon. Lawrence suffered a high ankle sprain against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. The injury looked severe in real time, as many on social media expected the quarterback to miss multiple weeks if not the entire season.

The Jaguars want to see how Lawrence does in pregame warmups before announcing him as the starter. He practiced with the Jaguars’ starters for most of the week heading into the Browns game. The Jaguars signed their practice squad quarterback Nathan Rourke on Friday as their emergency quarterback in case Lawrence and backup quarterback C.J. Beathard cannot play against the Browns.

Remarkably, Lawrence has never missed a game in his college or professional career due to injury. The franchise quarterback spent the entire week aggressively rehabbing his ankle. Lawrence needs to be at full health to take on the Cleveland Browns’ pass rushers. The Browns defense will look to terrorize Lawrence to secure a win. The Browns are 1.5-point favorites against the Jaguars.
