The Cleveland Browns have done a good job of avoiding the injury bug so far in 2025, but that may come to an end with the Green Bay Packers coming to town. Second-year defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. is once again sidelined as he recovers from offseason knee surgery. However, four other players were also given injury designations in this game.
Working through a back issue that has sidelined him from practice this week, offensive guard Joel Bitonio is listed as questionable against the Packers. He is joined by another starting offensive lineman, offensive tackle Jack Conklin, who did not play a week ago in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Conklin is dealing with an elbow ailment.

If Bitonio cannot go, it will likely be Teven Jenkins starting at left guard for the Browns. Cornelius Lucas will get the start at right tackle once again this week if Conklin cannot play. If Conklin can play, we could see Lucas alternate in with Dawand Jones at left tackle, who had to come off the field due to heat a week ago.
Starting kicker Andre Szmyt is also questionable, feeling a pull in his groin in Friday’s practice. The Browns have not signed a new kicker yet; however, this bodes well for Szmyt’s chances of playing in this game.
Kick returner DeAndre Carter, who left last week’s game with a concussion, is also listed as questionable.
