David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Ethan Pocic news is concerning for Cleveland

The Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Chargers Week 9 matchup could be an interesting one on the field as the AFC playoff picture plays out down the road. Both teams had high expectations and had long injury lists to start this week.

With LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah out this week and CB Denzel Ward in concussion protocol, the Browns roster is a little limited. We also had TE David Njoku added to the list of players not participating for Cleveland in Thursday’s practice.

The second injury report of the week had one side mostly getting better and the other getting worse (Changes are in bold below):
