The Cleveland Browns are just over an hour from kickoff against the Las Vegas Raiders, and it’s a crucial game for them. Sitting at 1-2, the Browns are looking to avoid falling to 1-3 and hope to even their record at 2-2, which would give them a much-needed reset.
However, the team has announced that seven players will be unavailable for today’s game, including David Njoku, Jamari Thrash, Jack Conklin, Jedrick Wills Jr., Kahlef Hailassie, Pierre Strong Jr., and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

With these factors, Cleveland has a prime chance to secure a pivotal win, but they’ll need to be aggressive to take advantage of this opportunity.
