Browns to be without several key players against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4

The Las Vegas Raiders have just a few more days till they can try and improve to 2-2 on the year, and not fall into a 1-3 hole that will be hard to climb out of. It wouldn't be impossible, but it would be very, very hard to climb out of it. The Raiders are facing a tough team in the Cleveland Browns, too, so that doesn't make it any easier.

But, as we have talked about all week now as far as the injuries are concerned, the Raiders have a clear advantage there. Well, sort of. The Browns have 17 players beat up and on the injury report as of Thursday's report , and the Raiders had nine. But, the Raiders' two best players are listed.

On Friday, though, some more news was dropped regarding the Browns, and, it favors the Raiders immensely. Now, let's preface by saying you never wish any player would be hurt or remain helped. That's just wrong. But, these guys are hurt, so, the Raiders must take advantage.

On Friday, Browns head coach Steven Stafanski ruled out David Njoku, Jedrick Wills Jr., Jack Conklin, and Pierre Strong Jr. for the Week 4 matchup. That's four really key players the Browns will be without.

This also means that the Browns are likely going to play Myles Garrett, who dealt with a few injuries last week but still had eight pressures. He has been hurt this week as well.
