The Cleveland Browns will enter the Week 2 home opener against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals shorthanded thanks to a crowded final injury report. Four players were ruled out of Thursday’s game in the team’s final official injury list.
CB Kevin Johnson (liver), LB Jacob Phillips (knee), CB Greedy Williams (shoulder), LB Mack Wilson (knee) will all miss the game. None of those are surprising developments; all but Phillips also missed Week 1 with their injuries suffered in training camp. Phillips was injured in Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens and was in a large knee brace later that night.
Three of the six players designated as questionable are offensive tackles. Starting left tackle Jedrick Wills (shin), right tackle Jack Conklin (ankle, finger) and top backup Chris Hubbard (ankle) are all game-day decisions to face the Bengals.
They’re joined by WR Jarvis Landry (hip), C JC Tretter (knee) and DE Olivier Vernon (abdomen) with the questionable designation. All six questionable players were limited participants in practice on Wednesday.
