As the Cleveland Browns look to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home this week, a twist of fate as the home squad will be the healthier of the two. Obviously having to place another center on injured reserve mitigates that statement somewhat but, practically, Cleveland’s side of the injury report is smaller than their opponents going into the weekend.
For the Browns, not having to wonder about the injury status of a number of players going into the inactive list time is helpful. It means players like TE David Njoku have pushed beyond their injury enough to know they are playing.
