7 miss practice Tuesday as Christmas Eve matchup with Saints approaches

The Cleveland Browns are potentially getting a massive boost as center Ethan Pocic has been designated for return from Injured Reserve after his four weeks off. As the New Orleans Saints are next up on the menu, however, the Browns were missing seven players from practice on Tuesday as they work through injuries.

While some were scheduled days of rest, the Browns were missing a handful of key contributors, including running back Nick Chubb, who is battling through a foot injury. Here we take a look at every member of the team who appeared on Tuesday’s injury report and their status.
