The Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders square off on the shores of Lake Erie tonight in the return of QB Jacoby Brissett. Week 1 of the preseason will see more Browns starters on the field to start the game after 37 players were inactive for the Hall of Fame game last week.
While the NFL requires very specific information during the regular season, in the preseason teams are not required to explain why players are not playing or details on any injuries.
Cleveland will see 16 players not active for tonight’s game for a variety of reasons, some known, some assumed and some unknown but most due to injuries or health issues:
- CB Greg Newsome II
- LB Anthony Walker Jr.
