Darnold didn't practice today either because he is sick.

Mosley and Williams wil be questionable, which is a big part of the game

There's no "Injury Report" for a team's psyche, but the Chris Smith tragedy has to have an effect.

A gift from the football gods. If we can't take advantage of this we deserve to suck. Trevor Siemian is the Jets backup.

BIG NEWS!

WOWWWW

And more:

ESPN-Cleveland reporting Darnold has mononucleosis and is out for Monday night.

I'm sad to hear that. Mono? That's not good for an athlete.

TREVOR SIEMIEN is in

And maybe no Bell? Yikes

Out: Darnold
Banged up: Mosley, Williams, Bell, and Adams

How can this go wrong?

Please don’t ask that question lol

j/c:

So, they could be without Darnold, Bell, Herndon, Enunwa, Williams, and Mosely?

So what I'm reading is Siemian is going to throw for 400 yards and 5tds

Hi, you must be new to the Browns. Welcome aboard!
Have a seat, make some popcorn

We do have an exceptional talent for making the opponents lack of talent look quite talented.

Hell, the Cleveland Browns are probably responsible for more backup QBs getting good contracts than any team this century.

amen

I'm actually disappointed the jets have all these injuries. After last week I wanted this team playing like it was a playoff game against a healthy jets team. Players probably relaxing a bit now.

Bingo.

I expect a career game.

if we lose this game, we're clowns

I'm even more nervous for this game now.

Being a Browns fan is tough. We should be expecting victory. But I bet many of us are nervous.

If we don't win this game now....well I just don't know.

I'm even more nervous now than I was.

Yes a new twist to our challenge. How many times has Cleveland giving up career games to backups when I stop play with injured? I'd be much happier beating Donald and Bell. But if the backup stink I'll take a win any way I can get it.

Losing is ok (kinda), as long as we return to looking competent and disciplined.

If we're even somewhat approaching the level of dumpster fire we were last week, however, then we're done and I have my Sundays free again.


All that said, I feel that if we're disciplined and show competency at the level of our talent, there should be little question of us winning this game.

I would typically agree, but given the circumstances of how we lost, the talent we have, and the Jets injuries ... a loss Monday night is unacceptable; I don’t care if we play like world-beaters and lose ... a WIN is the only result I’m happy to have

Browns FS Damarious Randall (illness) returned to practice. DE Chris Smith (personal), LB Adarius Taylor (high ankle sprain), RB Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) and OL Kendall Lamm (knee) aren't practicing. WR Rashard Higgins (ankle) on field and in full uniform, but very limited

lets hope we turn it around bro.

About now the NFL is wishing they could flex this game to early Sunday...

Have we signed a backup offensive tackle yet?

If it were any other team, I'd be happy (in the non-jerk way... I'm very very rarely happy about a player getting injured), about a team that needs to get back on track going against a depleted team. Usually, that's perfect for getting a quick shot of confidence and building momentum into subsequent weeks....

But this is the Browns. We seem to save our worst football for the most winnable games.

I want to say "it can't get any worse than last week", but this is the Browns and I don't want them replying with "challenge accepted"

C.J. Mosley

woah... that dude is still in the league? he has to be like...36 by now

This is a different one lol .. he’s only 27

Official status per #Browns injury report for Monday night as of now:

OUT:
S D. Randall - concussion
T K. Lamm - knee
LB A. Taylor - ankle
RB D. Hilliard - concussion

QUESTIONABLE:
WR R. Higgins - ankle
G J. Bitonio - abdomen
DE C. Smith- personal
QB D. Stanton - knee

We’ll see if Avery is active now

nyjets LB CJ Mosley ruled out for Week 2 vs. Browns.

This is a huge deal the Jets defense fell apart when he went out against the Bills.

Yes, that's a big loss for them.

Browns LB Mack Wilson will replace LB Adarius Taylor (ankle) on the strong side in the base defense.

We have almost as many injured as they do!

Looking at our performance from last week:

Jets win.

Jets have 3 of their 5 most important players on the bench for this one

Is there something wrong with avery? Is he hurt? Dont understand why he is not starting

Starting what?

There was speculation on twitter that he had some team violation and/or attitude problem the final week of preseason

I hadn't seen that yet...I did read where he got a little behind in TC. I dunno.

Well you have to consider that it was "speculation" on "Twitter".

j/c...
Bitonio is a big injury for us...abdomen pull takes time to heal don't know how bad but OL are the toughest so we will see

What the Jets died when Mosely came out will be different as they will have a full week to make their adjustments. They do have a lot of OL nicked up probably all will play.

How did Stanton get injured? Did he can an ear infection with the headsets on???

Can we Assume he will not be active and Gilbert will be the backup?

Can Assume Seibert will make kicks 40 and in along with extra Points - probably for long FGs and kickoffs the Scottish Hammer will come through!

Yeah I was looking forward to Avery being our SAM I read somewhere that he was picking up the system slow. But he's a gamer!

I think Smith is going to play...if not funeral or something of that nature it will be good for him to hit somebody!

Randall is a big injury for us on D he is the QB of the Backfield.

Good luck to all them who are injured and please heal fast.

Jet fans were talking about Bell not going to make the game.

One thing Simien is one of the smartest college QBs I ever saw we cannot take him for granted I hate all this talk about us beating them by 20 or else its a failure...I just want a win!

Jets will be home opener. If they come out struggling their fans will boo!

jmho

Hilliard is OUT tonight .. we just promoted Elijah McGuire

Roethlisberger might have to have elbow surgery. That’d be the season for him.

It’ll be interesting to see what they decide to do with it. Depends on the severity of the tear/etc, but sometimes surgery makes it heal faster (get him back by like week 8 maybe)

Hopefully Ben has to call it a career.
A guy can dream, right?

Drew Brees has torn ligament in throwing thumb and will require surgery; likely out 6 weeks.

That's sad. Brees is a great player and a great guy.

Man, I hope that this isn't how his career ends.

I think he’ll be back ... they have a good enough team to stil beat some of the teams he’ll miss IMO

Anyone heard who McGuire is replacing roster spot-wise? Haven't seen that anywhere yet.

Roethlisberger out for the year.

That stinks. I love watching the best play.

Sounds like the Steelers are trying to see how they can do without the last of their major locker room cancer/distractions and the injury provides the perfect excuse.

Hopefully it doesn't end in a Manning to Luck situation where they are able to draft the next great QB.

I hate the Steelers as much as the next guy, but this still sucks to hear. Still looking for our defense to pound that offense into the ground, as I don't recall our teams ever getting much sympathy from a depleted roster.

Deion predicted he'd retire before the season is over. He may end up being right.

Rookie gets his chance....

Taylor played three snaps on defense last week.

Hate it for the Saints. No comment on the Steelers.

And now Wilson gets three snaps.

Maybe he’ll do good and parlay it into 4 ... ...

Woah, slow down there, partner.... let's not get carried away. He is still a rookie.

Drew Stanton to IR to make room for McGuire. Color me surprised

Link

Y'know, Ben is one of those guys that, now that we are on the rise, I would like to send him out with a couple of L's at the hands of the Browns since his lifetime record is damn near perfect.

Stanton got his contract guaranteed, now he can just hang around for Baker ... Gilbert goes to backup and we save a roster spot

Avery going to be active tonight?

Nope

Awesome!

Good news on Njoku
