Cleveland Browns to Face Raiders Without Key Players Due to Injuries

Why it matters: The absence of tight end David Njoku, offensive tackles Jedrick Wills Jr. and Jack Conklin, and running back Pierre Strong Jr. will significantly impact the Browns' offense and their ability to protect quarterback Baker Mayfield.

David Njoku will miss his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury, despite returning to practice.
Jedrick Wills Jr. suffered a knee injury in the previous game against the New York Giants, ruling him out for the upcoming matchup.
Jack Conklin, who has been recovering from a severe knee injury, experienced a minor setback with a hamstring injury.
Running back Pierre Strong Jr. is also ruled out due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 2.

What to watch: With multiple key players sidelined, the Browns will need to rely on their depth and adjust their game plan accordingly.

The offensive line, missing both starting offensive tackles, will have to find ways to protect Baker Mayfield from the Raiders' pass rush.
The absence of David Njoku limits the Browns' options in the passing game and puts more pressure on other receivers to step up.
The running back rotation will see adjustments with Pierre Strong Jr. unavailable, likely leading to increased opportunities for other backs like Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

Yes, but: Despite these injuries, the Browns still have a talented roster and capable backups to fill in the gaps.

Backup tight end Austin Hooper has proven himself as a reliable receiving option in the past.
Offensive lineman Chris Hubbard has experience filling in at tackle and can provide stability in the absence of Wills Jr. and Conklin.
The Browns' strong rushing attack led by Chubb and Hunt can help alleviate some pressure on the passing game.

The bottom line: The injuries to key offensive players pose a challenge for the Browns, but their depth and resilience will be tested as they face the Raiders.

The team's ability to adapt and overcome these setbacks will play a crucial role in their success in the upcoming game.
