    Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford.

    The Cleveland Browns (1-2) travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders (1-2) in Week 4. Both teams hope to get back to .500 and turn their seasons around a month into the campaign.

    Here are three Browns players who could impact the game the most:

    Running back Jerome Ford

    Ford has filled in nicely for running back Nick Chubb, who is on injured reserve as he heals from his 2023 season-ending knee injury.

    Through three games, he has rushed for 145 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and one touchdown. He also has 10 catches for 58 yards.

    This week, the former fifth-round pick has another great opportunity as the Raiders allow the league's third-most rushing yards per game (152.7).

    Chubb is eligible to return off IR in Week 5, motivating Ford. Whether Chubb will be activated remains to be seen, but Ford's time as the lead back could end.

    Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

    Owusu-Koramoah has been all over the field to start the year, registering a team-leading 25 tackles.

    Cleveland will need that to stay true this week, as he'll likely be given a large role in limiting the impact of first-round rookie tight end Brock Bowers.

    The No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has the most catches (18) and second-most yards (197) on his team.

    Las Vegas will continue to find ways to get the ball in his hands this week. Owusu-Koramoah must do his best to prevent that from happening.

    Edge-rusher Myles Garrett

    This season, Garrett has not been himself — reportedly dealing with "complications" related to his feet .

    The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year has just six tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles.

    However, a less-than-healthy Garrett is still the Browns' best pass-rusher, and he knows it.

    That's why he's driven to play through his injuries, which he believes could bring out his best football.

    "I try to spend every moment preparing my body for the rigors of the season and sometimes some bumps and bruises like I have now," Garrett said via The Associated Press. "An injured animal is the fiercest, so I'm going to be at my best."
