LOOK: Browns players soaking in the rays at the Pro Bowl

Here are the best shots from the Pro Bowl, where five Browns players represented the city of Cleveland.

Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, David Njoku, Wyatt Teller, and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah represented the Cleveland Browns at the Pro Bowl this weekend.

While the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs prepare for the Super Bowl, 30 other teams sent representatives to the Pro Bowl, capping off stellar seasons for those players. The Browns sent five this year, with wide receiver Amari Cooper and offensive guard Joel Bitonio opting to decline the event to recover from a season of injuries.

This was, however, the first Pro Bowl for Njoku, who is not as accustomed to the event as the five-timer Garrett.

One day, it would be nice to see the Browns have nobody represented at the Pro Bowl because they are preparing for the Super Bowl. For now, however, we get to celebrate players having a great time at the Pro Bowl that they earned after a hard-fought season.

Take a look at all of the shots of these Browns players enjoying their time at the Pro Bowl.

Browns Inactives: Both Denzel Ward and Juan Thornhill will play vs. Texans

Here are the Browns’ inactives against the Texans

The wait is nearly over as the Cleveland Browns are back in the playoffs taking on the Texans on the road in Houston. And both cornerback Denzel Ward and safety Juan Thornhill will be active in this one.

Ward, who was injured in practice, is active today and will play the Texans. In addition, Thornhill is also active, which is a huge boost having both against rookie C.J. Stroud.

Unfortunately, running back Pierre Strong Jr. will not be able to go today as the team called up John Kelly from the practice squad to replace him. That brings an interesting question about who will take the kick return snaps with Strong out.

After the team talked about Jeff Driskel being the backup he is not active though he is the emergency third quarterback should both Joe Flacco and P.J. Walker get injured. Here are the inactives for today’s Wild Card matchup as the Browns look to advance to the divisional round.

Browns CB Denzel Ward hints he will play vs. Texans

It appears the Pro Bowler will suit up!

While he tweaked his knee in practice on Thursday and is listed as questionable against the Houston Texans, cornerback Denzel Ward hints that he will suit up for the Cleveland Browns.

At least it would be weird if a player posted a hype video the day before he sat out. And that is what Ward did today as the Browns get set for their Wild Card matchup in Houston, the first step toward the first Super Bowl in franchise history.

The Browns have spent all week sharing stories of their playoff experiences, bonding as a team, and getting set for their second season. In just over 24 hours, we will see if the Browns can continue this season that has been nothing short of miraculous thus far. Already beating the Texans once this season, can they do it again?

Getting Ward on the field would be a massive boost to the NFL’s best defense.

Browns Injury Report: Grant Delpit out, Denzel Ward questionable vs. Texans

The Browns have a big matchup on Saturday, but a new addition to the injury report proves worrisome.

The Cleveland Browns will be without Grant Delpit as they get set to take on the Houston Texans, but they may also be without Pro Bowler Denzel Ward.

Delpit, while the Browns have designated him for return and while he has been practicing, is not quite ready as he recovers from surgery on his groin that put him on Injured Reserve a month ago. It looks as though he will be good to go should the Browns find their way into the divisional round.

After tweaking his knee in practice on Thursday, Ward was a late addition to the injury report, he is now listed as questionable to play. However, NFL Network’s Ian Rappoport has reported that Ward is expected to be fine and to play on Saturday afternoon.

Here is every player that either has a gameday designation, was limited in Thursday’s practice, or did not practice ahead of their Wild Card showdown against the Texans.

Browns Inactives: Denzel Ward returns, Anthony Walker Jr. OUT vs. Bears

Now 90 minutes from gametime, the Browns have released their inactives against the Bears as Denzel Ward will make his return

Welcome to Week 15 as the Cleveland Browns host the Chicago Bears on a messy, rainy afternoon. It might be gloomy outside, but the Browns get some good news as Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward is set to return to the lineup after missing the last three games with a shoulder injury. Linebacker Anthony Walker Jr., who was listed as questionable, will not play, however.

For a team as beat up as the Browns, placing four significant contributors on Injured Reserve this week alone, getting Ward on the field as Justin Fields and the Bears come to Cleveland Browns Stadium is a massive boost for the defense.

Given those injuries, we will also see the Cleveland Browns’ debut of rookie defensive tackle Siaki Ika, who has been inactive every game this season. Fourth round defensive end Isaiah McGuire will see his second bout of action as well.

With these two rookies off the bench, who is inactive for the Browns today? Here is the list of players who will not dress against the Bears as Cleveland looks to continue to hold their wildcard slot even tighter.

Browns Inactives: Amari Cooper active, Denzel Ward still not ready vs. Jaguars

One key contributors will suit up for the Browns in this one while another will miss.

The Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars are locked in and set for battle in this Week 15 matchup. And as the Browns look for their eighth win and their first in their last three, they get a massive boost as wide receiver Amari Cooper is set to play. However, cornerback Denzel Ward is still not ready to suit up

Cooper cleared the concussion protocol just in time to suit up in front of the home crowd at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Ward is set to miss his third game with a shoulder injury. His return is much-needed in a secondary that desperately needs to recover their form.

Unfortunately for the Browns, however, right tackle Dawand Jones was a late addition to the injury report after tweaking his knee in practice. He will not play against the Jaguars. Here are the rest of the inactives that join Jones on the bench for the Browns in today’s game.

5 things to watch: How the Browns can end their two-game skid and take down the Jaguars

Here are the key factors to watch for as the Browns look to bounce back at home against the Jaguars

Sitting at 7-5 on the season, the Cleveland Browns desperately need a bounce-back win this Sunday as they return to Cleveland Browns Stadium. The task does not get easier, however, as they are set to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the Browns look set to get cornerback Denzel Ward back on the field, while the Jaguars may be fielding a banged-up Trevor Lawrence (who is questionable and a game-time decision).

The Jaguars sit atop the AFC South, battling with the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans for control. The Browns are second in the AFC North with a firm grasp on a wildcard spot. With a win, the Browns could see their playoff probability skyrocket to right around 80 percent as they could find themselves firmly in the driver’s seat toward their first postseason birth since 2020.

Looking deeper into this Week 14 showdown between the Browns and Jaguars, here are five key aspects of the game that likely decide it.

Browns Injury Report: Amari Cooper, Denzel Ward, Dawand Jones all uncertain vs. Jaguars

Here is the final injury report of this Week 14 game

The Cleveland Browns might be getting as healthy as they possibly can at the right time as the Jacksonville Jaguars come to town. Despite a late injury this week to Dawand Jones that leaves him questionable, the Browns may just get back wide receiver Amari Cooper and cornerback Denzel Ward in time to suit up on Sunday afternoon at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

At the same time, the Jaguars are limping into this Week 14 matchup off of a loss to the Jake Browning-led Cincinnati Bengals on a short week. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is questionable for this game after suffering a high-ankle sprain, but all 10 Jaguars are either out or questionable for this game in Northeast Ohio.

Needing a win to lock in a firm grasp on a playoff spot, the Browns have the opportunity to bounce back at home and advance to 8-5 on the season. Who will be on the field, however?

Here is every Cleveland player who was unable to practice or was limited in practice on Friday during the Browns’ final tune-up.

5 Browns players who could cause problems for the Jaguars in Week 14

Can the banged up Jaguars handle the Browns’ scary defense?

A couple weeks ago, the Jaguars’ Week 14 matchup against the Cleveland Browns looked to be one of the team’s trickiest games of the season. It still is, but mainly because of unforeseen circumstances.

The Browns lost starting quarterback Deshaun Watson a couple weeks ago, and then Trevor Lawrence got injured in Monday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Lawrence is suffering from a high ankle sprain, but he’s already practicing in a limited capacity.

Cleveland will be without Watson for the rest of the season, so Jacksonville has to prepare for a different Browns team.

Here are five Browns players who could cause trouble for the Jaguars in Week 14:

6 Browns who are being snubbed from deserving Pro Bowl opportunities

The Browns have some hilarious omissions in the current Pro Bowl votes…

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero released the current standings in terms of Pro Bowl voting as we have just five weeks to go in the season. And to the dismay of the Cleveland Browns, there are numerous snubs left off of the list. Players like cornerback Denzel Ward and offensive tackle Dawand Jones have been cornerstones of Cleveland’s success this season as they sit at 7-5 on the year.

And yet neither are currently in the top-10 in voting at their respective positions.

The Pro Bowl has been known to be a popularity contest as memorable names tend to get the benefit of the doubt over more deserving breakout candidates. However, Ward has been there and done that before, and yet he is still left off the list at this point.

Ward and Jones are not the only ones, however. Here are six total Browns who deserve more love amongst the rest of the nation and their peers.
