Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season kicked off with a wild overtime matchup in the NFC South. Prior to that, the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders had their second practices in advance of their Week 5 matchup in our nation’s capital.
The first injury report was loaded with 14 players not participating. Thursday we saw some changes with some of them positive for the visitors. Cleveland did lose DE Alex Wright for the season due to injury, however.
