Dawgs By Nature
To start the week of practices heading into the AFC North matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens for Week 11, QB Lamar Jackson’s knee injury that kept him out of practice was the big story. Jackson returned to practice on Thursday for the Ravens and does not have an injury designation after Friday’s practices.
For the Browns, health was less of a concern, but the team is understandably a huge underdog heading into the divisional matchup at home. The questions around Cleveland are bigger ones including HC Kevin Stefanski’s hot seat and what fans should be rooting for the rest of the season.
Friday’s injury report saw two new issues for the home team as DT Maliek Collins was listed as limited with an oblique issue, and CB Denzel Ward did not practice due to something going on with his ribs. Baltimore ruled out four players after their final practice this week.
Ward is not listed with a game day designation despite not practicing on Friday. Along with Collins, LB Carson Schwesinger was the only other player limited in the final practice.
Green was limited on Thursday, after being added to the injury report, and then did not practice on Friday at all. After missing Wednesday’s practice, Jackson was a full participant in the final two days of practice.
