SAD NEWS: Browns news and notes for Week 16: Anthony Walker…..

BEREA — When the Browns play the Texans on Sunday in Houston, they will be missing a number of starters. Joel Bitonio, the left guard, might not be one of those.

For the first time this week, Bitonio went back to practise on Friday. Regarding the All-Pro guard, the Browns officially listed him as doubtful.

a back ailment that first surfaced during the team’s pregame warm-ups before this past Sunday’s victory over the Chicago Bears, though he didn’t exit the game until the first quarter had six minutes remaining. In the Bears game, Michael Dunn started in Bitonio’s place. If he is unable to play in Houston, he will start again.

That’s the Browns’ comparatively excellent news. Unfortunately, for the second time in a row

They will be without defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo (pectoral muscle), safety Juan Thornhill (calf), linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk (calf), and linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. (knee).

When asked if head coach Kevin Stefanski thought Walker may require knee surgery, his response sounded dire. When asked, all he would say was, “We’ll update you in the next couple of days.”

Centre Ethan Pocic will also be available to the Browns again. Pocic did not receive an injury designation for the stinger that prevented him from playing against the Bears and forced him out of the Jacksonville game two Sundays ago.

The Houston Texans have officially ruled out C.J. Stroud.
The Houston Texans declared quarterback C.J. Stroud out of Sunday’s game against the Browns, which was an underwhelming announcement. Following his removal from the Texans’ game against the New York Jets prior to two Sundays.

As Houston media have been stating since Tuesday, Case Keenum will make his second straight start for the Texas football team. He was Baker Mayfield’s backup for the 2020 and 2021 seasons with the Browns.

Browns news and notes for Thursday
Joel Bitonio isn’t ruling out a Sunday comeback against the Houston Texans.
The All-Pro left guard Joel Bitonio did not practise for the Browns on Thursday, but he has not yet ruled himself out of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

We’re still working through it, Bitonio said on Thursday. “I haven’t practiced this week yet.” “I recently completed a little run there, and things are going pretty well. So on Friday, we’ll see how it goes. We’ll just have to take things day by day, but from where I was on Sunday and Monday to where I am now, it’s been fantastic.”

With 6:08 remaining in the first quarter of the Browns’ victory over the Chicago Bears, Bitonio left the game due to a back injury. His problem first surfaced during warm-ups before the game, but he was still able to start before heading off.

Stefanski stated, “Michael Dunn arrived to help buyers comprehend the realities of this game. We don’t dwell in the woulda, coulda, shoulda world very often. Simply take care of what is in front of us. And in my opinion, that speaks highly of the guys.
