The Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns have released their second injury reports ahead of Sunday's Week 15 game.
Both teams face injury challenges heading into the upcoming game. Kansas City's major concern is the offensive tackle position, while two key starters for Cleveland remain at the center of their concerns.
While Joel Bitonio will likely gut out his back injury in Week 15, the Browns are likely to be without TE David Njoku (hamstring) for Sunday, according to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. That'd be a major loss for Cleveland and a huge boon for Kansas City, as their defense has struggled to defend the tight end position all season. Njoku has over 50 receptions for nearly 500 yards and five touchdowns this season.
Here's a look at the second injury reports for both teams for Week 15's game on Sunday.
