The Cleveland Browns have been the highly injured team throughout the season starting in Week 1 with OL Jack Conklin and Week 2 with RB Nick Chubb. Several key players followed them to the injured reserve including Deshaun Watson, Jedrick Wills, Dawand Jones, Maurice Hurst, Rodney McLeod and Grant Delpit.
Only Delpit has a chance of returning this season while DE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo has the team holding out hope he can play sometime this year despite reports he’d head to injured reserve.
In Week 16 against the Houston Texans, QB CJ Stroud was not expected to play when he didn’t move ahead in concussion protocol on Wednesday.
