Browns, Saints injury report: CLE healthy, NO with 2 starters with DNPs, 5 players limited

Pete Werner, Jamaal Williams, Lucas Patrick all miss the first practice before Browns vs Saints in Week 11

The Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints meet up in Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season with almost nothing to play for. Gone is the 2-0 start for the Saints and the Browns best-case scenario includes losing most of their games.

New Orleans has a few big-name, big-game players that could drastically impact the outcome while Cleveland’s offense has a few X-factor guys that could impact the game greatly. As is true with most NFL games, injuries could play a role in Week 11 but the visitors had good news heading into the first practice of the week.

Following practice for both teams, we have the first injury report of the week:

Browns Injury Report

• OL Joel Bitonio - Pectoral - Limited
• LB Jordan Hicks - Elbow, Triceps - Full
• WR Jerry Jeudy - Knee - Full
• QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson - Right finger - Full
• OL Jedrick Wills - Knee - Full

We will need to keep an eye on Bitonio’s practice status but the veteran is durable and plays through many injuries.
