Denzel Boston is still out of practice, a kicker that’s gotta sting for Browns fans especially after head coach Todd Monken just yesterday said he was *anticipating* the rookie receiver would be back on the field for Thursday’s session. Talk about a gut punch.
The “Little Toe Issue” Keeps Boston Off The Field
Monken tried to downplay it on Wednesday, calling Boston’s toe injury “a little toe issue” and insisted it wasn’t a concern. But hey, when your leading receiver, a guy who’s already stacked up 507 receiving yards, 32 receptions, and three touchdowns, is still sidelined, “little” starts to feel pretty big. The team’s pre-practice report confirmed he’s not participating, despite the coach’s optimism. You gotta wonder if that “little issue” is becoming a bigger headache than they let on.
More Injury Woes For Cleveland
It’s not just Boston hobbling, either. The Browns are seeing some movement on their injury report beyond the rookie receiver. Starting center Elgton Jenkins, who’s been nursing a knee injury, is making his return to practice today, which is a definite bright spot. But on the flip side, safety Ronnie Hickman (concussion) and fullback Michael Burton (calf) are both still out. It just adds to the challenge for the Browns as they navigate the season, especially when a key playmaker like Boston can’t get back on the field.
So what’s next? For the Browns, it means they are still without their top rookie weapon in practice, leaving questions about his availability moving forward. For now, they’ll have to keep plugging away, hoping that “little toe issue” finally lives up to its name and Boston can rejoin the action soon.
