Browns Injury Report: Juan Thornhill, Denzel Ward among 11 who miss Wednesday’s practice

The Browns are looking for their fourth in a row, but they are missing key members of their secondary in Juan Thornhill and Denzel Ward

The injuries continue to pile up. Despite sitting at 7-3 on the season, the Cleveland Browns continue to lose key players. Most recently, this was safety Rodney McLeod, who was placed on Injured Reserve with a bicep injury. To make matters worse, three other members of the secondary in cornerback Denzel Ward, and safeties Grant Delpit and Juan Thornhill missed Wednesday’s practice with an injury as well as the team prepares for the Denver Broncos.

All in all, the Browns were without a staggering 11 players from their first practice of the week. While new quarterback Joe Flacco put on the orange helmet for the first time, the number of banged-up Browns is getting alarming. They will get linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk back into the lineup after he returned from IR, but there are bodies down across the board.

Here is every player who was either out of practice or participated in a limited fashion in Wednesday’s practice for the Browns.

Juan Thornhill, Marquise Goodwin headline Browns’ inactives vs. Steelers

The Browns will take on the Steelers without Juan Thornhill and Marquise Goodwin today.

The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers are getting set in a clash of 6-3 AFC North teams looking for the edge. The Browns will not only be without quarterback Deshaun Watson for the rest of the season, but they will be without wide receiver Marquise Goodwin and safety Juan Thornhill as well.

This means that undrafted free agent safety Ronnie Hickman will dress in this one, and wide receivers Cedric Tillman and David Bell may see more targets coming their way.

Goodwin and Thornhill are just two of the inactives announced by the Browns in this Week 11 matchup as they look to jump to 7-3 on the season. The Steelers will be without safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Montravious Adams, and safety Keeanu Neal in this showdown at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Here is the full list of inactives released by the Browns as they prepare to get another win at home with Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center.

Browns Injury Report: Juan Thornhill out, Dawand Jones questionable vs. Steelers

As the Browns look to make it five of their last six against the Steelers, they will be without Juan Thornhill and Marquise Goodwin

After starting the week with some uncertainty, the Cleveland Browns enter their matchup looking fairly healthy outside of the devastating loss of quarterback Deshaun Watson. In this game, only wide receiver Marquise Goodwin and safety Juan Thornhill have been ruled out against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite being listed as questionable, standout rookie offensive tackle Dawand Jones has stated he is good to go on Sunday.

Despite Michael Dunn returning from Injured Reserve, the Browns will start Geron Christian at left tackle once again, meaning Joel Bitonio will not kick out as he has done once before. If Jones suffers a setback before gametime, the Browns will start James Hudson III at right tackle in his absence again.

The Browns have released their final injury report as their preparation for the Steelers is complete, with just a total of four players on Friday’s edition. Here are the only players to appear on Friday’s report.

Browns Injury Report: Denzel Ward returns to practice, Dawand Jones remains out Wednesday

The Browns get set to take on the Steelers shorthanded at QB and at RT with Dawand Jones. However, Denzel Ward returned to practice.

The Cleveland Browns got some devastating injury news on Wednesday, as it was announced that quarterback Deshaun Watson will miss the rest of the season with a broken shoulder. That is not the only concern with the Steelers on deck as right tackle Dawand Jones remains sidelined. On a bright note, however, cornerback Denzel Ward was a limited participant in practice as the Browns get set to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers despite leaving the game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Ward is not the only player to show up on the injury list, however, as there is a laundry list from Wednesday’s practice. A handful of players were resting on the first day of practice this week, so a bit of sifting through the names has to be done.

Here is the long list of players who did not practice or practiced on a limited basis as the Browns look to advance to 7-3 on the season against the Steelers on Sunday with an opportunity to take hold of the top spot in the AFC North.

Browns safety Juan Thornhill exits Ravens game with calf injury

Cleveland Browns safety Juan Thornhill left the Ravens game with a calf injury.

Cleveland Browns safety Juan Thornhill exited Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens at the start of the third quarter.

Thornhill was injured after making a touchdown-saving tackle against Ravens receiver Zay Flowers. Thornhill was quickly rushed to the medical tent while Flowers limped off the field. Thornhill is currently in the locker room with a calf injury. He is questionable to return.

Thornhill was a key addition to the defense this offseason. The safety has helped lead the Browns’ defense to a historically great start. Cleveland needs Thornhill back. The defense gave up a long touchdown pass to former Browns and current Ravens receiver Odell Beckham Jr. immediately after he exited the game.

The Browns have replaced Thornhill with Rodney McLeod Jr., another veteran leader. Cleveland’s defense needs to play much better as the defensive backfield has suffered multiple injuries during the Ravens game.

Cornerback Denzel Ward was previously ruled out with a neck injury he sustained during the first quarter.

PFF’s 10 highest-graded Browns’ defensive players vs. Colts

It wasn’t the defense’s best performance

Coming off an impressive performance against the San Francisco 49ers the defense of the Cleveland Browns had a bit of a letdown defensively against the Colts. They struggled in zone coverage again like against the Baltimore Ravens, it is clear that the team is much more successful when they play man coverage. But it was far from just a bad day as defensive end Myles Garrett had one of the most impressive games of his career.

It’s the second time this year that he took over a game and put up a defensive player of the year type performance. Two sacks, two forced fumbles one of which was recovered for a touchdown, and a blocked field goal.

The Colts came to play and Shane Steichen called an impressive game for their offense. Let’s take a look at the ten best performances for the Browns on defense according to PFF in the 39-38 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Kevin Stefanski classily drove out to the home of injured Nick Chubb to deliver a game ball

We’re not crying. You’re crying!

In a very classy move, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski drove out to running back Nick Chubb’s house after the Browns beat the Titans on Sunday to deliver a game ball.

Chubb, who is out for the season after a severe knee injury, missed Sunday’s 27-3 rout. To be clear, the Browns throttled the Titans. The Titans only had 94 yards of total offense, and the team’s offensive line gave up five back-breaking sacks, including 3.5 sacks to Myles Garrett.

After the game, Stefanski addressed the locker room, saying, “The guy that we don’t have right this minute with us — but he’s always with us — is number 24. He’s getting this game ball because he’s so important to this team.”

Then, Stefanski kept his word by driving the ball to Chubb’s house, according to cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.

When asked about Stefanski’s classy gesture, Browns safety Juan Thornhill took a moment to appreciate his head coach.

“It was pretty cool that coach actually kept Nick [Chubb] in his thoughts and gave him that game ball,” Thornhill said.

You love to see it.

Browns working out veteran safety Erik Harris with Juan Thornhill still day-to-day

The Browns have brought in a veteran safety for a workout.

Safety Juan Thornhill was unable to make his debut with the Cleveland Browns a week ago against the Cincinnati Bengals, dealing with a calf injury. He has yet to return to practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers up next in just three days, and the Browns have now brought in a veteran safety in Erik Harris for a workout.

As head coach Kevin Stefanski has stated Thornhill is “day-to-day” with the calf injury, Harris looks to earn a spot on the roster or practice squad as he heads to Berea today.

This is the eighth season of Harris’ career, and the Browns would be his fourth team if signed. He has also spent time with the New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, and Atlanta Falcons throughout his career, starting a total of 43 games over seven seasons. Harris has racked up a career stat-line of 202 solo tackles, seven tackles for loss, five interceptions, 28 passes defended, and two defensive touchdowns.
