Browns Battle Through More Injuries Against Bears

The long list of injuries to key players keeps growing for the Browns. Cleveland lost multiple key players this week for the year, including safety Grant Delpit, defensive tackle Maurice Hurst, and offensive tackles Dawand Jones and Jedrick Wills Jr. The team may also be without pass-rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo, who is dealing with a pec injury and missed Sunday’s game.

All-Pro offensive guard Joel Bitonio injured his knee early against the Bears, forcing Michael Dunn into action. Bitonio did not return, leaving guard Wyatt Teller as the only member of the original starting line. Still, the Browns pushed forward and picked up the win.

“It just tells you a lot about the guys this organization picked for this roster and in that locker room,” Flacco said. “It just speaks to the character of the guys in that room and I think you have to give credit to the organization for probably doing that on purpose.”

The Browns moved to 9-5 with the win and are now in prime position to lock up a playoff spot. Cleveland faces Houston Texans next week.
