Browns get multiple injured players back on the practice field Wednesday

Cleveland could have reinforcements on the way

Injuries have been a big part of the season for the Cleveland Browns despite the 7-5 record. They have battled down several key players at premium positions but help is on the way. Cornerback Denzel Ward has been fantastic this year and the team has missed him the last two weeks, he is returning to the practice field Wednesday which comes at a great time.

On top of that rookie Cameron Mitchell who has been on IR should return to the field as Cleveland has designated him to return. The secondary has had two bad games so getting two corners back, especially their best one, will be welcome to Kevin Stefanski and his staff.

On top of that quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson who remains in concussion protocol will also practice as well as wide receiver Marquise Goodwin who also has missed time with a concussion. The Browns control their destiny as far as making it into the playoffs and getting these players back would be huge.

Browns Inactives: Juan Thornhill in, Anthony Walker Jr. out vs. Broncos

The Browns have announced their inactives as Juan Thornhill will play. Anthony Walker Jr. is out against the Broncos

Coming into this Week 12 matchup against the Denver Broncos, the Cleveland Browns saw two starters with questionable designations. Safety Juan Thornhill and linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. were not 100 percent to give it a go this week in practice. However, as the Browns release their inactives list, Thornhill will play in the Mile High City, while Walker Jr. will miss this matchup against the 5-5 Broncos.

Look for Sione Takitaki to start at MIKE linebacker in Walker Jr.’s absence, with Tony Fields II taking over as SAM (Takitaki’s usual post). The Browns did get linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk back from Injured Reserve this week as well to soften the blow of Walker Jr.’s nagging hamstring. To help fill the void of their missing defensive backs, the Browns also brought up two young guns from the practice squad.

Here is the full list of inactives as the Browns look to make it four straight, taking on the Broncos on the road.

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 lose another WR as Marquise Goodwin exits vs. Cardinals

The Browns are already down a wide receiver and just lost another one as Marquise Goodwin exits against the Cardinals.

The Cleveland Browns entered the week down two wide receivers already after trading away Donovan Peoples-Jones, and David Bell was ruled out with a knee injury. And now they lose another one against the Arizona Cardinals as veteran Marquise Goodwin has exited the game with an apparent head injury.

Failing to haul in a deep ball down the field from Deshaun Watson through contact, the veteran speedster took a shot to the back of the head. He stayed down on the field after the play before eventually walking off with the training staff.

This leaves a bigger workload on the plate of third round rookie Cedric Tillman as the wide receiver depth of the Browns is being tested.

The Browns currently lead the Cardinals 13-0 as they look to advance to 5-3 on the season. Can the thin wide receiver room step up in the second half of this Week 9 matchup against the Cardinals?

Draw It Up: How the Browns used reverse plays to beat the Colts

How the Browns used WR reverses to beat the Indianapolis Colts

In this week’s installment of “Draw It Up,” we’ll explore the use of reverse plays by the Cleveland Browns. The Browns only ran one reverse against the Indianapolis Colts, but they incorporated the reverse motion into a handful of run plays.

Reverse plays are always controversial. When they work, the coach looks like a genius, but when the play fails, the coach is a moron with worms for brains. Last week, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman participated in a role reversal when he grilled a reporter, the coach of the flag football team Freeman’s son plays for, on his decision to call a reverse pass that failed in the red zone.

No play is more criticized than the reverse. That’s why I want to look at the process that goes into a play that’s solely dictated by its results. Kevin Stefanski does love his reverse plays, a tendency that he receives plenty of criticism for. The goal of the reverse is to outflank an over-aggressive opponent. It’s a good way to keep defenders honest and make them defend every yard on a football field. 

Browns Injury Report: Jerome Ford, Jedrick Wills questionable vs. Seahawks

The Browns enter their matchup against the Seahawks healthier than the week started!

The Cleveland Browns are looking to advance to 5-2 on the season as they take on the Seattle Seahawks in the Pacific Northwest on Sunday afternoon. However, two key players– running back Jerome Ford and left tackle Jedrick Wills– will enter the matchup as questionable to play.

Ford, of course, has surprised the Browns by how quickly he has returned to the practice field after suffering an ankle sprain in the team’s Week 7 win. This led to the team signing three different running backs to the practice squad this week.

Notable players who are not on the injury report for this game, however, are defensive ends Ogbo Okoronkwo and Alex Wright. Okoronkwo was dealing with a rib injury this week while Wright left the win against the Indianapolis Colts with concussion symptoms. Linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. also practiced in full on Friday and was not given a gameday designation.

Here is the full list of players who were limited in practice, were not able to practice, and were given a gameday designation.

Browns Injury Report: A flurry of injuries overwhelm Wednesday’s practice with Seahawks next

The Browns enter Week 8 quite banged up…

Sitting at 4-2, the Cleveland Browns are once again looking to shock the world as they will start P.J. Walker at quarterback against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle, also sitting at 4-2, enters this matchup as banged up as the Browns, who were without tight end David Njoku, running back Kareem Hunt, and a laundry list of other players on Wednesday.

Dealing with injuries for the past four weeks, however, the Browns have managed to squeak out wins against the San Francisco 49ers and the Indianapolis Colts in back-to-back weeks. They will be looking for similar luck this week as they travel out west for a two-game road trip against the Seahawks this week, then the Arizona Cardinals the week after that.

Here is the full list of players that were either limited in practice or missed practice for the Browns as they prepare for their Week 8 showdown in the Pacific Northwest. With two days of practice left, let’s hope this trends in the right direction.

Browns Injury Report: Juan Thornhill misses practice with Bengals 3 days away

Thursday’s injury report isn’t crowded, but a starter missed practice.

We have made it. The offseason is over and we are officially into game week as the Cleveland Browns get set to welcome their inter-state rival Cincinnati Bengals in their Week 1 bout. As announced yesterday, cornerback Denzel Ward has returned to practice after entering the concussion protocol after the preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, as one member of the secondary returns, another missed practice on Thursday as safety Juan Thornhill was sidelined with a calf injury.

Outside of Thornhill, however, Thursday’s injury report remains rather short for the Browns as they will take on Cincinnati near full strength. Quarterback Joe Burrow will play in this one despite missing all of training camp, so having a team at full health is of utmost importance for the Browns.

As we sit just three days away from the season opener against the Bengals, here is the Browns’ Thursday injury report headlined by the sidelined Thornhill.
