Cleveland BrownsThe Cleveland Browns, who are 7-3, continue to battle injuries as they look to qualify for the postseason.
Several offensive linemen have already left and now this defense must deal with uncertainty at several key positions.
As Cleveland wraps up its week of practice ahead of the game against the Denver Broncos, the team has listed veteran linebacker Anthony Walker as questionable.
Walker is dealing with an injury suffered in last week’s game against the Steelers.
Meanwhile, guaranteed safety Juan Thornhill joins Walker as questionable after missing the Steelers game with a calf injury.
The former frontman picked up the injury in week 10 against the Crows.
Thornhill’s possible absence is a major threat, especially with Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward ruled out for Sunday.
Ward is currently dealing with a shoulder injury and could be out for several weeks.
Additionally, the team placed safety Rodney McLeod on IR earlier this week, leaving rookie Ronnie Hickman and sophomore D’Anthony Bell as the remaining backups to Thornhill and fellow starter Grant Delpit.
Along with Ward, wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was ruled out.
He remains in concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head in Week 9.
On the bright side, the Browns activated linebacker Jordan Kunasik from IR this week and he is listed as questionable for the team’s trip to Denver.
Meanwhile, Cleveland’s Davend Jones had a full practice Thursday and Friday after injuring his knee and limited hitting in Pittsburgh.
The Browns’ official questionable status will be known 90 minutes before Sunday’s kickoff at 4:05 E.
