The Cleveland Browns star Amari Cooper is set to return from injury against the Houston Texans in his team’s wild-card round clash on Saturday. The wide receiver sat out the last two games as he recovered from a heel injury.

“It’s getting better every day,” Cooper confirmed on Wednesday. “I’m running around now. Just a typical injury that you have to work through.” He added that he could have played in Sunday’s 31-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, however, the Browns opted to rest most of their starters since they had already clinched the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Named to his fifth Pro Bowl of his career as well as his first since being traded to the Browns in 2022, Cooper has enjoyed a strong season, making 72 receptions and a career-high 1,250 receiving yards. On December 24, he set a Browns’ record of 265 receiving yards as his team beat the Houston Texans 36-22. He also scored two touchdowns.

The Cleveland Browns right tackle Dawand Jones will be sidelined for the rest of the season after he undergoes a season-ending surgery on his knee, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Monday. The rookie injured his knee during a practice session last Tuesday.

“I’ve seen Dawand make great strides on and off the field,” Stefanski commented. “I thought he got better as the season went on. Disappointed for him. He played well in a lot of these games.” A fourth-round pick out of Ohio State, Jones has been the Browns’ starting right tackle since Week 2, making his absence a significant blow for the team.

James Hudson III is expected to play in Jones’ stead. Hudson replaced the rookie right tackle during the Browns’ 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Cleveland is also struggling at left tackle, with regular starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. on injured reserve due to a knee setback.

It appears that Cleveland Browns’ defense is losing its key players on a weekly basis.

After COVID-19 put out of action star pass rusher Myles Garrett for at least two games, the Browns are now reportedly also losing Pro Bowl corner, Denzel Ward. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Ward is dealing with a calf sprain and is set to miss “multiple weeks.” 

The news comes as a surprise, especially considering the fact that the 23-year-old Ward played every snap in Sunday’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He put in a great performance, intercepting Carson Wentz while also adding four passes defended, three tackles, and one QB hit.

The following morning, Ward approached Cleveland’s medical staff to complain about his calf and underwent an MRI test that showed the strain.

Denzel Ward, who was Browns’ No.4 pick in the 2017 draft, started all 10 games in 2020. He leads the league in passes defended with 15 while also having 38 tackles, two interceptions, and three fumble recoveries.

In Ward’s absence, Browns are likely to turn to offseason acquisitions M.J. Stewart Jr. and Kevin Johnson. Stewart has 10 tackles and a sack this season, while Johnson contributed with 25 tackles and one pass deflection.
