Denzel Ward to Miss Week 15 Game Against Bears
Head coach Kevin Stefanski highlighted the ongoing uncertainty surrounding player availability as the team prepares for the match. “A lot of what we do as coaches is work through contingency plans and see who’s available,” he explained.
Injury Updates
This week, the Browns faced significant challenges with player injuries:
- Denzel Ward: The cornerback is ruled out due to a calf injury suffered in the fourth quarter of Week 14.
- David Njoku: The tight end sustained a knee injury in the second quarter against the Titans and did not return to the game.
- Jack Conklin: Currently in the concussion protocol, Conklin has yet to participate in any practice sessions this week.
Stefanski addressed the situation, stating, “With every injury, you have to treat the injury and, unfortunately, [Ward] wasn’t able to make it this week.” The team will continue to adapt their strategies while evaluating the health of their roster.
As Week 15 approaches, the Browns will need to rely on their depth and flexibility to compete effectively against the Bears. The absence of key players like Denzel Ward could impact their defensive strategy significantly.
