The Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills will both be missing players when they face off in Week 16, but Cleveland’s injury situation is better than it was last week.

In Week 15, the Browns had a long list of injured players ruled out. This week started rough again, with 13 players missing early practices, but things improved by Thursday and Friday.

Still, several key Browns will not play on Sunday against the Bills.

Browns Injury Report

• OT Jack Conklin – Concussion – Out
• CB Denzel Ward – Calf – Out
• QB Deshaun Watson – Achilles – Out (On injured reserve; decision pending)
• TE David Njoku – Knee – Out
• LB Winston Reid – Back – Out (Practice window opened)
• RB Dylan Sampson – Hand – Out
• OL Wyatt Teller – Calf – Questionable
• DT Sam Kamara – Elbow – Questionable

Bills Injury Report

• DT Jordan Phillips – Ankle – Out
• K Matt Prater – Right quad – Out
• OT Chase Lundt – Knee – Out
• WR Mecole Hardman – Calf – Questionable (Eligible to return from IR)
• DB Cam Lewis – Hamstring – Questionable

The last time they faced each other was in 2022, wherein the Bills emerged victorious 31-23.

What to Watch For?

Myles Garrett, Browns DE, is just a sack away from the All-Time Sack Record, and he will surely grab the opportunity. Josh Allen, Bills QB and the reigning MVP, has been in great form, but for the team to remain in the fight for the playoffs, he needs to deliver today.

Browns rookie QB, Shedeur Sanders, had a horrid showing against the Bears with no touchdowns, will have to prove himself to maintain his position on the team.
