DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2021 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 29 Chiefs 33 Injuries

Let’s keep it like this for 22 straight weeks

Tretter feels veterans don't need a lot of offseason training. I doubt he is hurt at all.

Tretter represents a group of players that feels veterans don’t need a lot of off-season training.

Has there been a lot of Browns with non-COVID illnesses this preseason? It sure seems like it.

j/c...

Last season Garrett also tested negative at first when he became sick. Second test revealed it was covid

I'm excited to see the first injury report of the season, it means that it's REALLY, ACTUALLY GAME WEEK!

However, that is a fairly ugly first injury report. That is a LOT of guys that are Limited, even if most all of them will end up playing.

The Ravens lost Gus Edwards and Marcus Peters to ACL tears.

Wow!!!

“ The Baltimore Ravens suffered not one, but two major injuries at practice on Thursday afternoon, continuing a horrendous string of luck this preseason.”

Any word on Clowney?

I know you can never eliminate the potential for injuries in football. But considering the news coming out of Baltimore, I really appreciate the cautious approach the Browns have used in this preseason.

Woods said he should return either tomorrow or Saturday and play Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns have done everything possible to have a full roster of healthy players going into Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Training camp and preseason games didn’t go perfectly with a few minor injuries, losing Stephen Carlson, Drew Forbes and Greg Senat for the year and placing Jacob Phillips on injured reserve.

The team’s biggest moves this offseason was to try to field a quality defense after significantly struggling on that side of the ball in 2020. The team quickly signed John Johnson III, Takk McKinley, Anthony Walker and Troy Hill. A few weeks later, the team added Jadeveon Clowney.

Clowney, who has struggled to stay healthy most of his career, was one of the players the team protected throughout camp to make sure he was ready to go in Week 1. Unfortunately, Clowney has come down with an illness but the Browns are hoping won’t keep him out of the game against the Chiefs:



The team has reported that Clowney is not COVID-19 positive and is just ill. Rookie Tony Fields II came up ill for today’s practice as well.

If Clowney is unable to play, McKinley and Joe Jackson would be the only other defensive ends to join Myles Garrett in Week 1. The team could call up Ifeadi Odenigbo, Curtis Weaver or Porter Gustin from the practice squad as well.

The team needs a healthy defense to try to slow down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs vaunted offense.

Wow, I almost feel bad for them. I do feel bad for the players, but the team? Not so much.

F* the Raven, “evermore.”

Clowney should be back

Anyone else worried Fields got COVID and has passed on to our other LBs?

I certainly hope not. My greatest fear, if anything could derail this season it would be covid.

"OBJ, Jadeveon Clowney, Grant Delpit, Ronnie Harrison and JC Tretter are all questionable for Sunday. "

So, no change for any of then from 2020, lol

but, we know Clowney is full-go.

I expect that the others will be as well.

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed or not, but KS has said absolutely zilch regarding OBJ's ability to play in a game all offseason while giving the impression that he could've been playing this whole time.

If OBJ is held out on Sunday I think there's going to be a meltdown.

Honey Badger still out.. That would be big for us. I can't see him being that effective even if he did play at this point. Covid must have hit him pretty hard

I think that either:

A.) He is just hiding the one card he can and not giving Reid anything concrete while he can

2.) He is not wanting to dampen spirits or doesn't have the ability to share info on OBJ's health


If it's B, and OBJ doesn't play, then he certainly better come clean afterwards as to why they played games with the reports if they knew better.

I'm going to go with A.

#Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has been added to the injury report as questionable with a hamstring injury. He was a full participant today.

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin is questionable for season opener in Kansas City

BEREA — A day after Browns special teams coordinator Mike Priefer gave Chase McLaughlin a vote of confidence, the kicker landed on the injury report.

The Browns made a late addition to the report Friday afternoon, listing McLaughlin as questionable for the season opener Sunday in Kansas City.

The Browns revealed McLaughlin has a right hamstring injury. They labeled him a full participant in Friday's practice.

If McLaughlin can't kick this weekend, the Browns would need to elevate undrafted rookie Chris Naggar from the practice squad to the active roster. The deadline to make the move is 4 p.m. Saturday.

Kicker Chris Naggar during warm up drills as Jet fans came to their team’s practice facility in Florham Park, NJ to watch their team, including their new head coach Robert Saleh and quarterback Zach Wilson for the first time this season on July 31, 2021.
The Browns signed Naggar to the practice squad on Sept. 2. He began his collegiate career at Texas (2016-19) before transferring to SMU. Last season, he made 17-of-21 field goals (81%) and 43-of-46 extra points (93.5%).

"I did the Zoom interview with him, really liked him coming out of SMU," Priefer said Thursday. "He was kind of a one-year wonder because he had been a punter/backup kicker at Texas. He graduated from there and wanted an opportunity to kick at a major program. SMU put him on scholarship for the year, and I thought he had an outstanding year. He’s still young, he’s raw, but he’s got a big leg, and I think he’s a very good, young, developmental kicker."

The New York Jets signed Naggar in May as an undrafted free agent and waived him on Aug. 16. He made 1-of-2 field goals (successful from 30 yards and unsuccessful from 53 yards) in his lone exhibition appearance.

McLaughlin made 4-of-5 field goals and 4-of-5 extra points in the preseason. Kicking in regular-season games for five NFL teams, McLaughlin has made 22-of-28 field goals and 31-of-32 extra points in his career, which began when the Buffalo Bills signed him in 2019 as an undrafted free agent.
