The Cleveland Browns are seeking their fourth win in five weeks as they get set to take on Jarvis Landry and the New Orleans Saints on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately for the Browns, they are missing a plethora of starting players from practice with just two days until kickoff. Overall, six players missed practice for the Browns yesterday, all of them are starters as well.
All-in-all, ten players were either limited in practice or did not go at all for the Browns. As Wednesday’s injury report dropped, who appeared on that list for the Browns with just two days until gameday in Cleveland?
