The Week 6 AFC North matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens was already looking like an injury report nightmare, with both teams dropping “CVS receipt” level lists this week. By Thursday, nine players were officially out, including Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and DT Mike Hall Jr., which is a massive blow for Baltimore. But the drama didn’t stop there, with seven more guys listed as questionable, four for the Browns and three for the Ravens.
Browns Make Defensive Line Move
Among those questionable guys for the Browns were DE Derek Barnett, DT Mason Graham, RB Quinshon Judkins, LB Carson Schwesinger, OL Emery Jones Jr., and OL Andrew Vorhees. The Ravens had WR Ja’Kobi Lane on their questionable list. Now, on Saturday, the Browns pulled a move that speaks volumes: they elevated defensive tackles Sam Kamara and Chris Williams to the active roster for the *second straight week*.
What The Double DT Elevation Means For Week 6
Think about it. Kamara, who grabbed his first career sack in Week 5 while playing a solid 40 snaps, and Williams, who saw 17 snaps last week, are back up. Elevating *two* defensive tackles? That just screams one thing, loud and clear: Mason Graham is not going to suit up for Week 6. You don’t make that kind of move if your starter is ready to roll. The good news, though, is that this double DT elevation is “potentially good news” for Quinshon Judkins and Carson Schwesinger. Their chances of playing just got a little boost.
Meanwhile, over in Baltimore, it’s “reportedly set” for Ja’Kobi Lane to return, but the Ravens haven’t made anything official yet. This Week 6 AFC North clash is already missing some serious star power, and the Browns’ defensive line is going to be tested big time. We’ll be watching to see how those practice squad elevations perform and if Judkins and Schwesinger can actually hit the field.
