Between injuries, covid, and rest for the Steelers vets it’s been tough to keep track of all the inactives. Below is the list of notable players out today on both sides...
Missing Browns:
Denzel Ward (CB)
Kevin Johnson (CB)
Malcolm Smith (OLB)
BJ Goodson (ILB)
Andrew Sendejo (FS)
Harrison Bryant (TE)
Nick Harris (OG)
Kendall Lamm (OT)
Missing Steelers:
Ben Roethlisberger (QB)
Maurkice Pouncey (C)
T.J. Watt (OLB)
Cam Heyward (DE)
Terrell Edmunds (SS)
Joe Haden (CB)
Eric Ebron (TE)
Cassius Marsh (OLB)
Chris Boswell (K)
So, the Browns are obviously missing some pieces on defense which is concerning. Both veteran linebackers who set the defense and two of our top 3 corners, three of our top four if you include Greedy. Offense is fully intact other than a few backup linemen and Harrison Bryant, who after the second half of this season I don’t think any of us will miss too much.
Steelers will be without pretty much every key player sans Minkah, Tuitt, DeCastro, Connor, and their WRs. Hopefully the Browns can jump ahead early and the Steelers treat it like a 3rd preseason game and pull them after half.
I’ve been waiting for this day for 13 years. Hopefully it ends with a better, happier result at the end of the day today. Go Browns!
