2024 Browns injury report: player and Nick Chubb lead Cleveland’s list of injuries that might halt the season
I think Kevin Stefanski is a magician.
At least, that is how it feels. Throughout the 2024 season, injuries have decimated the Browns coaching staff. And yet, with two games remaining, Cleveland is firmly established in a postseason spot.
Since the 41-year-old’s arrival in 2020, Stefanski’s time under the 216 sun (smog?) hasn’t exactly gone as planned. After three seasons under Stefanski, the Browns have yet to make it to the postseason in two of those years. Before signing Deshaun Watson to a fully guaranteed deal, they publicly courted him despite multiple claims of sexual misbehaviour, which infuriated many onlookers.
But the Browns are doing well on the pitch. They’re acting in a fairly
But the Browns are doing well on the pitch. And they’re doing it in rather challenging conditions. Much of the 2023 season has seen Cleveland without some of its greatest players.
Still, Stefanski and company continue to triumph. With wins over the 49ers and Ravens already this season, it’s difficult to overlook the amount of play Stefanski is getting out of his mismatched playthings.
Despite the absence of several of their finest players, the Browns are close to making the playoffs. Even after Watson, Nick Chubb, or Grant Delpit suffered (normal) season-ending injuries, they didn’t lose a beat.
So, as we approach the end of the season, here’s what you need to know about Cleveland’s injured reserve list.
Browns injury report 2023
With significantly fewer than a full roster, the Browns take on the Jets on Thursday night. Long-term injuries will prevent Watson (shoulder), Chubb (knee), Delpit (groyne), and Ogbo Okoronkwo (pectoral) from participating in the combat. After being caught in a crunching tackle in Week 2, Chubb was the first to go down, tearing his meniscus, MCL, and medial capsule.
After breaking a bone in his shoulder during Cleveland’s historic Week 10 comeback against Baltimore, Watson was subsequently declared out.
Delpit and Okoronkwo were admitted to the clinic due to illnesses they suffered earlier in December.
But they’re not the only ones. Famous actor Dustin Hopkins has also withdrawn from the celebration due to a groyne injury. Punter Corey Bojorquez, who was listed as doubtful due to a quad injury, could accompany him on the sidelines.
By this time of year, everybody has something to cope with. As seen by their official injury report, which lists 21 players with various ailments, the Browns are not an exception. Among them are starters Amari Cooper (heel), Myles Garrett (shoulder), Kareem Hunt (groyne), David Njoku (knee), and Joe Flacco (calf).
Four of the five players mentioned above, along with the vast majority of players on Cleveland’s injury report, participated in practice on Tuesday in some capacity. Cooper is the exception; he was deemed questionable for Thursday night’s game after missing the first two days of practice.
However, if past performance is any guide, the Browns will still win even without him.
