Browns vs Packers injury report: GB likely without stud TE, CLE lines have concerns

The Cleveland Browns welcome the Green Bay Packers into Ohio for the Week 3 matchup between two teams going in different directions. The Browns need to figure out how to stop Micah Parsons, while the Packers will have their hands full with Myles Garrett.

Unsurprisingly, the home team is a big underdog going into Week 3, but there are a few things they can do a few things to win on Sunday. Getting their special teams fixed would be helpful, but even then, not many are expecting the upset to take place.

We always have reasons for hope and optimism, however.

The first injury report of the week had some concerns for both teams. Thursday’s report continued that trend with Green Bay potentially being without another big weapon and Cleveland’s lines still having concerns.

Changes listed in bold below:
