The 18-week marathon of sprints that is the NFL regular season is upon us. For the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, the Week 1 matchup puts even more emphasis on the start of the season. The Browns hope to create something special while the Bengals hope to build on what has been the last couple of seasons.
Unlike the preseason, teams are required to provide more detailed information on injuries but that won’t come until the first midweek injury report.
For now, we know that CB Denzel Ward remains in the concussion protocol while K Dustin Hopkins missed practice Monday for Cleveland.
