Four Cleveland Browns players are out for Week 4 game

It has been the year of injuries for the Cleveland Browns. Four offensive players were ruled out on Friday before the team's Week 4 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Those four players are Jack Conklin, Jedrick Wills, Pierre Strong Jr., and David Njoku.  Njoku has been out since Week 1 with an ankle injury, and fans were hopeful when he returned to practice this week he could be ready for Sunday.

Conklin and Wills continue to struggle to get healthy in 2024. The Browns' offensive line is even more vulnerable now with Wyatt Teller on IR.

The Browns have been unable to establish a running game so losing Strong is adding to the bad news.

Deshaun Watson has struggled to get the offense going this season.  Some of it is due to how long he is holding the ball and his reluctance to use his legs, but the rest of it is because of a weakened offensive line and limited running attack.

The "good" news on the defensive side of the ball is that Myles Garrett is playing despite having foot, leg, and Achilles issues.  Garrett is committed to fighting through the pain, but many wonder if he could eventually end up on IR with so many chronic problems.

Watch the Browns take on the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, September 29 at 4:25 PM ET.
