The Friday injury report for the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars brought some unexpected developments. Offensive tackle Dawand Jones, who tweaked his knee, did not participate in practice. Additionally, safety Grant Delpit, who was not mentioned earlier, is now listed on the injury report with a knee issue and no designation. The status of Delpit raises questions about the Browns potentially activating another safety, like Duron Harmon, for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
On a positive note for the Browns, wide receiver Amari Cooper returned to practice, and there is optimism that he could clear the protocol before Sunday’s game, making him available to play. Another boost to the offense comes from Marquise Goodwin, who has been out with a concussion but returned to practice fully, making him eligible for the upcoming game.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars face challenges, particularly on the offensive line. Tackle Walker Little has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, adding to the absence of starting left tackle Cam Robinson, who is on injured reserve. The uncertainty regarding who will play left tackle against Myles Garrett poses a significant decision for the Jaguars.
The Jaguars are also without wide receiver Christian Kirk, placed on injured reserve, while rookie tight end Brenton Strange will be unavailable. With the potential impact of Myles Garrett on the game, the Jaguars must address their offensive line and consider the use of tight ends and running backs in blocking schemes.
In the secondary, the Jaguars face concerns as slot cornerback Tre Herndon is out with a concussion. Chris Braswell, attempting to return from injured reserve, has been ruled out due to an ongoing hamstring injury. Tyson Campbell, a starting cornerback, is listed as questionable, and his availability for the game remains uncertain. These injuries and uncertainties add complexity to the Jaguars’ preparations for their matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
