The Browns just dropped their final injury report for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, and cornerback Tyson Campbell is officially listed as questionable. This is a big one for their defense, especially with how early we are in the season.
Campbell’s Ankle: What We Know
Campbell’s status shifted fast this week. He was added to the injury report after missing practice on Thursday because of an ankle injury, which is never what you want to hear for a key defensive back. The good news? He did return to practice on Friday. Head coach Todd Monken is playing it smart, though, saying the team needs to see how Campbell responds before making any final calls on his game status. Losing him, even for a single game, makes a tough matchup even tougher.
O-Line Shuffle Continues for Week 2
On the other side of the ball, the offensive line is still shuffling. Guard Teven Jenkins has been ruled out with a back injury, and this is the second week in a row he’s sidelined. Rookie Austin Barber is stepping up again at right guard. Barber got the start in last Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars, and he’s set to start again this weekend. It’s a lot of pressure on a young guy, but someone has to fill that spot. The rest of the Browns roster looks clean, with no other injury designations heading into Week 2.
So, the Browns are heading into Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers with some real question marks, especially in the secondary and on the offensive line. How Campbell’s ankle responds before kickoff is going to be massive. Can Barber hold down the fort for another week? We’ll see how it all plays out, but it definitely adds some drama to this early-season matchup.
