While fans hope to see a well-oiled machine in training camp and preseason, NFL franchises care almost only about entering the regular season healthy. The Cleveland Browns have already seen their fair share of injuries or injury scares, WR Elijah Moore getting X-Rays during the team’s second preseason game for example.
LB Jacob Phillips and WR Michael Woods II will likely miss the season and WR Marquise Goodwin is dealing with blood clots that leave his season up in the air.
While those three may not be considered stars or starters, the atrophy on the roster is real when injuries pile up.
