CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cornerback Denzel Ward, tight end David Njoku and Jack Conklin are among seven Browns players ruled out for the Bears game on Sunday.
The others are defensive tackle Adin Huntington, running back Dylan Sampson, right guard Wyatt Teller, and quarterback Deshaun Watson.
In addition, the Browns have five players who are questionable: Joel Bitonio, Malachi Corley, Mason Graham, Cedric Tillman and Zak Zinter.
Kevin Stefanski declined to say who will start in place of Ward, a three-time Pro Bowler.
The absence of Conklin (concussion) means the Browns will have a makeshift line featuring Luke Wypler at center, Teven Jenkins at right guard and K.T. Leveston at right tackle.
