The Cleveland Browns released their Thursday injury report ahead of their matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Browns did not hold a practice Thursday, so the injury report is an estimation.

After a lengthy injury report on Wednesday with 14 players listed as limited, the estimation report is the exact same on Thursday for Cleveland with tight end David Njoku missing practice again.

Njoku missed Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills with a knee injury, so it looks as if he won’t be making it back in time for the Week 17 matchup agains the Steelers at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday. He’s the only player to miss practice this week so far for Cleveland.

However, the Browns do have 14 players that remain limited, led by a pair of interior offensive linemen in Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller. Cleveland did sign former Steelers offensive lineman Kendrick Green off of the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad on Wednesday, shoring up some depth. 

The Browns also have five defensive backs limited still early in the week, led by Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward, who stated earlier in the week he was absolutely going to play on Sunday against the Steelers, but has yet to practice in full for Cleveland this week. He did talk a big game earlier in the week though, stating he wants to ruin Pittsburgh’s season with a win.
