We’re just two days away from the Week 2 Monday Night Football matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cleveland is trying to continue their strong start and move to 2-0 for the first time in 30 years, while the Steelers need to bounce back with a win at home to move to 1-1.
Injuries will undoubtedly play a factor in this one, with Pittsburgh being the hardest hit.
Steelers will be without top wide receiver Diontae Johnson as well as defensive lineman Cam Heyward. Two players for this team who are Pro Bowl talents and will be heavily missed.
Wide receiver Amari Cooper is questionable with a tweaked groin that he suffered in practice. That decision will likely be made closer to game time. Cooper had core muscle surgery in the off-season.
For Cleveland, safety Juan Thornhill returned to practice yesterday and will again practice today, signaling that he looks like he could go in Week 2 for his Browns’ debut. Thornhill missed the first game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a calf injury and is questionable for Week 2.
Rookie defensive tackle Siaki Ika was in a walking boot earlier in the week and will not practice once again on Saturday with that foot injury. Ika is questionable to play, though it wouldn’t surprise if this is his second straight game missed after being inactive in Week 1.
Browns CB Denzel Ward reiterates that Cleveland has best cornerback trio in the NFL
Ward is confident in his unit with the Browns.
