Browns have one important injury heading into Week 1 versus Bengals

With the way the Cleveland Browns handle training camp and preseason, it is sometimes hard to know whether a player is injured, a veteran or the team is just being cautious. Many players saw the field in the third preseason contest, but not everyone, which begged the question about who was injured and who was not.

Of the list of players who did not hit the field against the Los Angeles Rams, we knew for sure the following were dealing with injuries:

  • CB Denzel Ward
  • CB Greg Newsome II
  • QB Deshaun Watson
  • WR David Bell
  • WR Cedric Tillman
  • QB Kenny Pickett
  • LB Winston Reid
  • OL Cornelious Lucas
  • LB Mohamoud Diabate
  • DT Mike Hall Jr.

Pickett was traded away, Bell was placed on the NFI list, Watson on the PUP list and Reid on IR. Hall passed his physical to make the initial 53-man roster.

The Browns have put out their unofficial depth chart for Week 1 versus the Cincinnati Bengals and have just one player listed as injured, Hall, which does not bode well for his chances to play this week. No one else on the depth chart has the injury designation but Ward, Newsome and Diabate could still see limitations during the week.
