D’Ernest Johnson’s big night helps relieve some of the pressure

The current injury situation for the Cleveland Browns - especially on the offensive side of the ball — has become almost comically absurd at this point.

Consider that the Browns:

  • are down their top two running backs in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt
  • have seen starting offensive tackles Jedrick Wills Jr. and Jack Conklin both miss multiple games
  • have wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry both dealing with injuries that will bother them the remainder of the season
  • saw wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones hurt himself in pregame warmups before Thursday night’s game against the Denver Broncos
  • are dealing with quarterback Baker Mayfield working his way through a completely torn labrum and fractured humerus bone in his left (non-throwing) shoulder that will not just magically heal itself overnight

There are a few bright spots amid all the doom and gloom, however.
