Kevin Stefanski Considering Options as Browns Face Steelers During Christmas Week

Kevin Stefanski might not spend Christmas tension-free as he prepares to face the Steelers on Sunday and record the third win of the season. He is already looking at the teams.

In the press conference on Tuesday, the Browns HC talked about the players on both teams and what schemes he is going to follow.

"I think the big thing is how many new faces are on the field for both teams. So, we have to understand who’s in where for them. There’s uncertainty with injuries for us. There’s uncertainty with injuries for them. So, you have to really look at all their options along the roster..."

The Browns have lost Quinshon Judkins after surgery for a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. Denzel Ward is pushing to play against the Steelers, but there's no clarity. Jack Conklin has been on IR since the Week 13 concussion against the 49ers, and the list goes on.

But that's not all. Shedeur Sanders will be taking over QB duties, a major change after Dillon Gabriel started in the last game against the Steelers.

As for the Steelers, T.J. Watts will not be there after the collapsed lungs. In the win over the Lions, CB Brandin Echols suffered a groin injury, and WR Calvin Austin III injured his hamstring. Both of them are questionable. There will be new guys replacing them if they have to sit.

But there's one guy Kevin Stefanski is worried about

During Week 16 against the Detroit Lions, Metcalf got into a tense situation on the sideline with a fan.

Kevin Stefanski was asked about it. "Yeah, I don't know, obviously, for sure. I saw the news just like everybody else did. So we'll adjust accordingly based on how it all shakes out."

Metcalf has had 59 catches for 850 yards and has scored 7 touchdowns in 15 games this season. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
