Browns, Vikings inactives: Great news for Cleveland, interesting left tackle decision

The Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings face off at 9:30 AM Eastern, 2:30 PM local time on Sunday, with injuries being a huge issue for the Vikings, while the Browns moving on to QB Dillon Gabriel has led the discussion on their side.

On Saturday, Cleveland elevated two cornerbacks, which seemed to indicate that CB Greg Newsome II would not be able to play, while a late Saturday report indicated that OL Jack Conklin would return in Week 5 in London. With 90 minutes left until kickoff, both teams have submitted their inactive reports, which had positive news for both...

Unique London issue could impact Browns, Vikings in Week 5

Unique London issue could impact Browns, Vikings in Week 5

There is nothing normal about the “International Series” games that the NFL puts on. That is part of the intrigue and interest in these games. American Football is being played in football/soccer stadiums, at a very different time than usual in front of fans of both teams, as well as those just fans of the NFL in general.

When the Cleveland Browns face off with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, fans will be getting up early in Ohio and Minnesota to watch the game. The weather is expected to vacillate between sunny and cloudy, but no rain is currently in...

Cleveland Browns vs. Minnesota Vikings – 1st Quarter Game Thread

Today, the Cleveland Browns are playing internationally in London as they take on the Minnesota Vikings. Will the Browns’ change at quarterback with Dillon Gabriel prove to help the offense, so the defense can actually take over a game?

Here are some features we’ve had this week to help preview the game:

Browns rumors: Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson expectations in 2025

The Cleveland Browns head into Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season already starting their second quarterback of the year, Dillon Gabriel, in place of Joe Flacco, but those two quarterbacks are not the biggest names on the team. As the Browns prepare to play the Minnesota Vikings early Sunday morning, a rumor report came out Saturday night about what to expect from Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson this season.

Sanders excited the football world in college, but fell from many expecting him to be selected in the first round to being taken by Cleveland in the fifth round. [Watson...

Browns injury update: Report on Jack Conklin’s status vs Vikings, Week 5 in London

The Cleveland Browns will lineup with the Minnesota Vikings with a distinct injury advantage in Week 5, live from jolly London town. The Vikings final injury report on Friday included ruling six players out and listing three as questionable, while the Browns ruled out DT Mike Hall Jr. and listed OT Jack Conklin and CB Greg Newsome II as questionable.

Cleveland made two roster moves on Saturday, elevating two cornerbacks from the practice squad, which seemed to indicate that Newsome could miss the game. Both corners were elevated last week as well, but the team has since released CB **Cameron...

Sunday Dawg Chow (10/5): Time to sink the Vikings!

It is an early start for the Cleveland Browns today as they take on the Minnesota Vikings in London.

If Cleveland’s first international game since 2017 is not enough to get people excited, quarterback Dillon Gabriel will be making his first NFL start as head coach Kevin Stefanski looks to jumpstart an offense that has not scored more than 17 points in nine consecutive games.

While everyone grabs a cup of coffee, ponders whether or not to indulge in a full English breakfast, and prepares for kickoff, let’s take a run through the latest news and notes about the Cleveland...

Cleveland Browns vs. Minnesota Vikings Week 5 Predictions – London calling for Dillon Gabriel

Cleveland Browns vs. Minnesota Vikings Week 5 Predictions – London calling for Dillon Gabriel

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

Dillon Gabriel and Changes Offensively

It kind of sucks that before the season started, fans were eying this week’s game against the Vikings and saying, “Well, at least Flacco will start those first several games, and then maybe it’ll be Gabriel time when Week 5 hits.” Browns fans are so used to dismal displays by the team that we can even predict our own...

Browns fans taking over London for Week 5 Vikings game: Pics, videos included

The Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings face off in a Week 5 game in the United Kingdom. For the Vikings, playing the first-ever NFL game in Ireland in Week 4, then staying overseas for Week 5, their third game in London in four years, has become all about their injuries. For the “home team” Browns, the schedule and plan in England is one they feel good about based on the stability and seclusion together.

Cleveland has a few injury concerns as well, as the Ohio team visits London for just the second time, the first was in 2017 against this...

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski’s dad gets new pro sports job

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski’s dad gets new pro sports job

It runs in the family for the Cleveland Browns top two decision makers. GM Andrew Berry’s twin brother, Adam, has risen through the ranks of the NFL quickly and is now the vice president of football operations and strategy with the Philadelphia Eagles.

When the Browns hired HC Kevin Stefanski, many learned about his father, Ed Stefanski, and his pro sports experience.

The elder Stefanski, like his son, attended Penn but played basketball instead of football. In the mid-70s, Stefanski played in 80 games in three seasons and played well enough (despite just 2.4 points per game) to be drafted...

Browns elevate 2 from practice squad for Week 5, Greg Newsome injury indication?

The Cleveland Browns head into Week 5’s matchup with the Minnesota Vikings with a new starting quarterback, potentially a new starting left tackle, new hope for the fans and a clear injury advantage. The Browns feel good about their travel schedule and time together secluded, almost two hours away from London, for this week’s game preparation.

While the Vikings had six players ruled out and three questionable, Cleveland’s injury report was much smaller with only one player ruled out (DT Mike Hall Jr.) and two starters questionable (OL Jack Conklin and CB Greg Newsome II). HC Kevin Stefanski was vague...

Two matchups to watch in Browns vs. Vikings

Two matchups to watch in Browns vs. Vikings

The Cleveland Browns may be catching the Minnesota Vikings at a good time when the teams meet on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Injuries have hit Minnesota’s offensive line, and the Vikings will be without three starters in center Ryan Kelly, right tackle Brian O’Neill, and left guard Donovan Jackson, along with backup center Michael Jurgens.

That leaves Blake Brandel making his NFL debut at center, and undrafted rookie Joe Huber making his first start at left guard.

The Browns will counter with a defense that is No. 1 in the NFL in pass-rush win rate, which means...
