Browns and Lions could connect on a Za’Darius Smith trade before the NFL trade deadline

The Cleveland Browns are not in fire sale mode with the NFL trade deadline almost two weeks away but the Amari Cooper trade told other teams that they are open for business. We’ve shared that the Browns roster has a few players that could provide some decent returns in trades as well as two players who were projected in NFL trades on Saturday.

NFL trade rumors have been sparse so far with some names bandied about as options but very little reporting. Cleveland is aggressive...

The latest Cleveland Browns news and notes from around the NFL in the Sunday Dawg Chow.

The Cleveland Browns host the Cincinnati Bengals this afternoon in a game that has become known as “The Battle of Ohio.”

While that is true from a geographical perspective as both teams are located in the state of Ohio, it still rings a bit hollow because rarely have both teams been good at the same time.

That does not mean there have not been some memorable meetings over the years in Cleveland.

The first meeting between the two teams was in 1970, marking Paul...

Nick Chubb’s injury return has been the story all week

The story of the Cleveland Browns season will hopefully be all about RB Nick Chubb and the team overcoming a terrible start to compete for a playoff spot by the end of the season. The second part is highly unlikely but Chubb’s return is right on track.

Week 7, a matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, is usually all about the Battle of Ohio. Not this year. This year, it is all about “Cleveland’s Batman.”

Chubb’s letter to the City of Cleveland was emotional as the Browns prepared for his return....

Also, the safety room gets a jolt.

Here is your Week 7 injury wrap-up as the Cleveland Browns take on the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday.

Biggest Injury Storylines

• Nick Chubb is back. That’s the biggest storyline of the season, by far. We’ll see what his pitch count ends up being. There is other running back injury news, though. Jerome Ford is out this week with a hamstring injury. Nyheim Hines was a full participant in practice all week, which made me think we’d see his debut. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Friday that Hines is...

Can Cleveland be 1-0 in the AFC North?

This Sunday, the Cleveland Browns take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Below, we analyze a few advantages, disadvantages, or general thoughts about the two teams before getting to our predictions for the game.

Game Analysis

Having the Bengals’ Number?

• The Browns have had Cincinnati’s number for a few years now, and it’s not just luck. I believe there are two teams in the AFC who play a style of offense that Cleveland’s defense thrives against: the Jaguars and the Bengals. Both teams can have some explosive offenses, but...

Also, fans still see a Cincinnati victory this week and the team dropping to 1-6.

Each week during season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.

After their loss to the Eagles in Week 6, the Browns’ confidence went up to 9%, an increase of 4 percentage points from the previous week. It’s within the margin for error in which I would say there was no improvement, but I guess you could say that the return of Nick Chubb swayed some votes.

The Bengals’ confidence...

Rumors will start to swirl soon around the NFL, Greg Newsome and Elijah Moore could be part of them

The Cleveland Browns already made one big move well in advance of the November 5th NFL trade deadline. The trade of WR Amari Cooper for a third-round pick (along with two late picks being moved) was a value move for the 1-5 Browns who were likely losing Cooper this offseason anyway.

That doesn’t mean Cleveland GM Andrew Berry is done but rumors of a “fire sale” seem unrealistic as well. The Browns have at least 11 untradeable players, for a variety...

Nick Chubb, Deshaun Watson, Ja’Marr Chase among keys for Browns

I understand the negativity is hovering over the fanbase right now but tighten up, there is a football game on Sunday that will be played. The Cleveland Browns will play their next three games at home with the first game being against AFC North rival, the Cincinnati Bengals.

We’ve already covered three names, two bigger and one lesser known, that could cause problems for the Browns on Sunday.

Kickoff is at 1:00 PM EST. After spending time on FOX, Cleveland returns to CBS. Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta and Aditi Kinkhabwala...

The latest Cleveland Browns news and notes from around the NFL in the Saturday Dawg Chow.

The Cleveland Browns will bring a four-game losing streak into Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

That skid has the Browns sitting at the bottom of the AFC North standings and squarely in the hunt for the No. 1 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Normally that would make Sunday’s match-up a bit of a bland affair, even if it is against Cleveland’s kid brother from the southern part of the state. But it may be no ordinary game in the middle of...

Nick Chubb leads the questionable Browns with Jerome Ford out against Bengals

While it is Battle of Ohio week in the NFL, it is clearly Nick Chubb week as the Cleveland Browns face off with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7 of the NFL season. Both teams have had disappointing starts but look to turn things around as they enter AFC North play.

The vibes were obviously high as Chubb’s Browns teammates cheered for him as he started his press conference. While Chubb was a full participant all week, HC Kevin Stefanski reported he would be listed as questionable. Cleveland’s...

The Browns are back home and struggling with a four-game losing streak. But are the Bengals the cure? Here is everything you need to know. about the game.

The Cleveland Browns return home on Sunday to face the Cincinnati Bengals.

Playing in front of the home fans for the first time in a month would normally be a comforting thought, but with the Browns currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak with a historically bad offense, the home fans are going to be on edge.

The Bengals may be the perfect opponent, however, as their two wins have...
