In Berea, Ohio, the Cleveland Browns’ coaching staff has announced several key players will be sidelined for their upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Tight end David Njoku, who has been recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the season opener, returned to practice on Thursday but will not participate on Friday and will miss his third consecutive game.
Additionally, starting offensive tackles Jedrick Wills Jr. and Jack Conklin have been ruled out. Wills, who recently returned from a season-ending knee injury, suffered a new knee injury in a game against the New York Giants. Although an MRI revealed no serious damage, he will not play on Sunday. Conklin, who has been recovering from a severe knee injury since Week 1 of the 2023 season, suffered a minor hamstring setback last week that will keep him out of the lineup.
Running back Pierre Strong Jr., who sustained a hamstring injury in Week 2, will also miss the game. The Browns will need to rely on their depth chart to fill the gaps left by these key players.
