Pete Werner, Jamaal Williams, Lucas Patrick all miss the first 2 practices

The Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints playing in Week 11 of the season was expected to have a little meaning. Instead, both teams are near the bottom of their respective conferences and have very little to play for the rest of the season.

The first injury report of the week saw the Browns as mostly healthy while the Saints had three key contributors not practicing. 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.

Following practice for both teams, we have our second injury report of the week with slight improvements for the home team but still three key players out (Changes are in bold):

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

No change for Cleveland is a good sign.

Saints Injury Report

  • OL Lucas Patrick - Ankle - DNP
  • LB Pete Werner - Hand - DNP
  • RB Jamaal Williams - Groin - DNP
  • DB JT Gray - Hip - Limited
  • S Jordan Howden - Shoulder - Limited to Full
  • OL Erik McCoy - Groin - Limited
  • CB Kool-Aid McKinstry - Hamstring - Limited to Full
  • WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. - Shoulder - Limited
  • LB Nephi Sewell - Knee - Full

A couple of positive updates for the home team but still concerns with Patrick, New Orleans starting left guard, and Werner, starting linebacker. Williams is a key contributor behind star Alvin Kamara.


We will keep you updated all week as the teams prepare for their matchup in Week 11
