Amari CooperGetthThe wide receiver sees that Amari Cooper and Cleveland Browns play in Seattle Sea.
The 13th week by Joe Flacco was recommended by Los Angeles Rams Rams, and Cleveland Brown was at least a little encouraged, but Tim Field offers bad news in a weak campaign.
The room, the quarter or the Denzy House, an injured event, injured in the north and north of the wounds.
Bad updates take the place of positive ones as the week ends with a decisive clash with the injury-riddled Jacksonville Jaguars.
Amari Cooper and David Njoku did not participate in practice on Thursday.Amari Cooper had five carries, including three for 34 yards, in the Rams’ 36-19 loss to Flacco.
That brings his season total to 50 catches for 799 yards and two scores in 12 games.
But Cooper, who appeared in all 17 regular-season games last year, now has his impressive attendance record to worry about.
The veteran left Sunday’s game in the second quarter after suffering a concussion while trying to return the ball to Flacco, adding another name to Cleveland’s injury list.
Cooper suffered both a concussion and a rib injury, forcing him to miss practice for the second straight day Thursday.
His status in the competition in Jacksonville is unclear, but the Browns certainly want to see him moving in the right direction sooner rather than later.
David Njoku will start against the Jaguars on Sunday, but concerns are growing after missing practice for the second straight day.
He was not hurt above, but was not involved in strict people for 27 years in the middle of the week.
But concerns continue to grow after he missed the second day of practice.
Although the reason given was a layoff unrelated to a knee injury, it is concerning that the 27-year-old tight end missed practice midway through last week.
Njoku leads the Browns with 53 receptions and has 509 yards (second only to Cooper) and two scores without missing a game.Losing the services of a pass-catching option will be difficult due to the Browns’ limited offense.
Even though Elijah Moore played better football last game and Marquis Goodwin practiced on a limited basis while trying to work his way back from concussion protocol, either appearance could be disastrous.
The pick seemed obvious in the loss to Los Angeles, but the Browns were without Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback, especially with Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the concussion protocol.
“We’ll see how things go this week,” coach Kevin Stefanski said.
“Dorian is still in the protocol, but we are working on him. “We will make a decision at the right time, but we want to see how this week goes.”
Thompson-Robinson, who hasn’t played in a game since Nov. 29, returned to practice on a limited basis this week, and the Browns will try to give him at least some opportunities.
Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said the team will be able to craft play packages where his mobility complements Flacco’s elegant and portable passing style.
Just as the Jaguars could use their playmaking skills without ruling out Trevor Lawrence, who is days away from a sprained ankle, Stefanski and Co.
The potential for a stylistic contrast in the middle could make preparation difficult for Jacksonville.
The Browns fell to 7-5 and third in the AFC North after the loss to the Rams, but remain on the right side of the AFC playoff picture and are currently the third and final wild card contender.
The problem is, they’re one of four 7-5 teams, joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans.
A number of dangerous opponents are a game behind, including the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.
Key players are confident the defense will return to its former glory, but the Browns need to score to win a bowl game, and the passing game has struggled to do that.
According to Pro Football Reference, only seven teams have thrown more passes this season, but Cleveland ranks 24th in passing yards and 23rd in touchdowns through the air. Only the Las Vegas Raiders (17) had more interceptions than the Browns’ 14 quarterbacks.
The injury excuse (I didn’t even mention starting quarterback Deshaun Watson) is valid.
The Browns still need to beat them before they have a chance to not only advance in the playoffs, but also win a postseason game.
