Man, the injury bug is absolutely *devouring* the Browns right now. Defensive lineman Mason Graham, running back Quinshon Judkins, and linebacker Carson Schwesinger were all still nowhere to be seen at Thursday’s practice, making an already tough week even tougher as they prepare for a big Sunday showdown.
The Big Three And Their Road to Recovery
These aren’t just minor nicks, either. Mason Graham, a critical piece of that defensive line, was out for last Sunday’s loss against the Jets with both knee and ankle injuries. That’s a brutal combo that takes time. Then you’ve got Quinshon Judkins and Carson Schwesinger, who both went down during that very same Jets game, each with ankle injuries. Talk about adding insult to injury! Earlier this week, both Judkins and Schwesinger were tagged as “day-to-day.” If they want to create *any* confidence they’ll be out there against the Ravens this Sunday, hitting the practice field on Friday is pretty much non-negotiable. Missing another day is a huge red flag for their availability.
The Walking Wounded List Keeps Growing
But wait, there’s more bad news. It’s not just those three. The list of missing players during the open portion of practice kept going. Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. (ankle), defensive end Derek Barnett (ankle), offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (back), and defensive tackle Kalia Davis (quad) were *also* sidelined. That’s seven guys confirmed out of practice! It’s like a never-ending cycle of bad luck for them right now. On the bright side, at least defensive tackle Maliek Collins (foot) was back out there after missing Wednesday’s practice. That’s one small piece of good news in an otherwise grim injury report.
All eyes will be on Friday’s practice report for the Browns. With the Ravens looming on Sunday, they desperately need some of these key guys back on the field, even if it’s just in a limited capacity, to have a fighting chance.
