It is just about that time for the Cleveland Browns to kick off the NFL Playoffs.

Cleveland is on the road in Houston to take on the Texans. In this Wild Card game, Cleveland is going to be a bit shorthanded. There is some good news too.

After being limited in the final practice of the week with a knee, CB Denzel Ward is a go against the Texans. Expect Ward to see a ton of Nico Collins, the top pass catcher for Houston.

The Browns will not have their kicking weapon, Dustin Hopkins, as he will rest the hamstring at least one more week. Cleveland used a practice squad elevation on Riley Patterson for the third time and he will do the kicking today.

In the final regular season game in Cincinnati, rookie WR Cedric Tillman suffered a concussion that is going to keep him out of his first playoff game. Expect to see more of David Bell, you may remember last weekend he had two touchdowns for Cleveland.
