Man, get ready for some tough sledding in Cleveland this Sunday, because the Browns are gonna be thin in the center of their defensive line for their game against the Jets. Both Mason Graham and Mike Hall have officially been ruled out for the weekend, and that’s a brutal hit right to the gut of their defensive front.
Big Guns Sidelined
It’s the injury bug biting hard, plain and simple. Graham’s been dealing with it, missing practice all week after leaving their Week 4 win with knee and ankle injuries. You hate to see it. And Hall, who even snagged a sack in that win against the Steelers, he’s been sidelined since that game, also battling an ankle issue. You can’t just replace that kind of talent and impact in the middle of the trenches, you know?
Who’s Even Left Standing?
With those two gone, and Kalia Davis not even getting activated from injured reserve this week, who’s left to anchor the middle? That means Maliek Collins and Adin Huntington are pretty much the only names left on the 53-man roster to hold down the center of that defensive line. Talk about being shorthanded! And man, the injury report just keeps rolling in. Wide receiver Tylan Wallace is out with a knee injury, offensive lineman Teven Jenkins is sidelined with his back, and tight end Carsen Ryan won’t play due to a calf issue. Even quarterback Dillon Gabriel, dealing with a back injury, won’t be activated before facing the Jets. It’s a M.A.S.H. unit out there.
So yeah, Sunday against the Jets? It’s gonna be a real test for the Browns’ depth, especially up front. Those remaining guys are gonna have to step up big time to stop the run and put pressure on the QB. We’ll be watching to see how they manage to hold it all together.
