Tyrique Stevenson to Make Comeback Sunday Against Browns
Tyrique Stevenson is set to make his comeback this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. After experiencing a unique and challenging week, Stevenson reflected on watching last week’s game from home. He described it as “very weird,” noting that he found himself calling out plays and even waking his son during the match.
Injury Updates for Both Teams
Stevenson will join fellow cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who has also been cleared to play. Johnson practiced fully throughout the week and is expected to appear in his third consecutive game after recovering from a groin injury that kept him sidelined for nine games. According to defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, Johnson is improving each week and is gradually regaining his form after a long absence from the field.
While Stevenson and Johnson will reunite on the field for the first time since the season opener, the Bears will face some challenges with other injuries. Nickel back Kyler Gordon has been ruled out for the game due to a groin injury he sustained during pre-game warm-ups against the Packers. Additionally, running back Travis Homer will not play due to an ankle injury, while receiver Rome Odunze is questionable after struggling with a foot injury that caused him to miss the previous game.
Cleveland Browns’ Injury Situation
The Browns will be navigating significant injury challenges as they prepare for the matchup against the Bears. They may be without three or potentially four of their starting offensive linemen. Center Ethan Pocic has been lost for the season due to a torn Achilles tendon. Pro Bowl right guard Wyatt Teller and right tackle Jack Conklin have also been declared out for the game due to calf and concussion issues, respectively. Left guard Joel Bitonio is questionable, having been limited in practice this week due to knee and back pain.
Furthermore, tight end David Njoku and cornerback Denzel Ward will also miss Sunday’s game due to knee and calf injuries. These key injuries could have a significant impact on the Browns’ performance as they face off against the Bears.
