Browns bring back the throwback uniforms for roadtrip vs. Raiders

The throwbacks have returned

The Cleveland Browns have announced their uniform combination against the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend.

Through three games, the Browns have worn the exact same uniform combination: the brown jersey on the white bottoms. That will change this weekend as they take a trip out west.

The Browns will bring back their white throwback uniforms for this matchup, including the white helmets that they debuted in 2023. This was announced over the summer, then revealed as the Browns wore the white helmets to practice all week, but the team has also now formally announced the uniform reveal on social media.

The Browns wore the white uniforms three times in 2023, going 2-1 in them. This includes clinching a playoff spot against the New York Jets while sporting the throwback, all-white look. Perhaps they can continue their winning ways in the all-white look as they desperately look to right the ship early in the season before it is too late.

The Browns catch a bit of a break as they look to right the ship in Vegas

The Cleveland Browns may be missing players of their own on Sunday, but the Las Vegas Raiders will be without both defensive end Maxx Crosby and wide receiver Davante Adams.

Coming off of a Pro Bowl season in 2023, Crosby is already up to 11 pressures and three sacks for the Raiders in this game. Especially considering the Browns will be without offensive tackles Jedrick Wills and Jack Conklin, this is a huge break for Cleveland.

Without Adams, the Las Vegas wide receiver room is left with just Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, and Ramel Keyton to lock horns with Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome II, and Martin Emerson Jr.

Crosby and Adams are among five total Raiders who will not play in this one. Tight end Michael Mayer, right tackle Thayer Munford, and linebacker Divine Deablo will also miss this Week 4 battle (according to ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez).

Looking to get back in the win column, can the Browns get the job done against a beat up Raiders team?

The veteran team leader may give it a go this week

The Cleveland Browns may soon get some offensive reinforcements from one of their premier pass catchers in the form of tight end David Njoku.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that while Njoku won’t practice to begin the week he may be available for the game against the Raiders.

This is a significant update in Njoku’s recovery and he continues to progress from an ankle injury that forced him to miss each of the last two games. This comes as good news as the Browns continue to see a rash of injuries hit the roster.

In Njoku’s absence the Browns have relied on Jordan Atkins as a replacement and currently has 12 targets for eight catches and 66 yards through three games.

Njoku originally hurt his ankle in the season opener loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He recorded four receptions for 44 yards in just 28 snaps before he exited the game from the injury. With how he ended last season and the emphasis to get him the ball early, it’s clear that the Browns were relying on him to make an impact.

His return is eagerly awaited by the team and fans alike.
