Everyone is pulling together as the Cleveland Browns prepare to take on the Chicago Bears in Week 15.
In a season plagued by an unprecedented number of injuries on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, the Browns are looking for as healthy a body as possible.
So they’ll need their best offensive players, WR Amari Cooper and RB Jerome Ford, to make major strides despite having little practice all week.According to Adam Schefter, Cooper and Ford will join the ranks of other NFL players scheduled to start today despite having little to no practice all week.
According to the Browns’ injury report, Cooper didn’t practice at all on Wednesday and was at his best on Thursday and Friday, while Ford was a limited participant through Friday.
Cooper is currently dealing with a rib problem, while Ford is limited by a wrist injury.
In addition to Ford and Cooper, there are several other Browns players who have been concussed this week and have been limited in practice but hope to be fit for today’s game against the Bears.
These players include Joel Bitonio, Myles Garrett, Kareem Hunt, David Njoku, Juan Thornhill, Anthony Walker, Denzel Ward and Pierre Strong.
Four Browns players, including Jordan Elliott and Ogbo Okoronkwo, are also expected to sit out today’s game.
Compare that to the two Bears players listed as discussed and ruled out, and you can see just how messed up the Browns are.
