Browns Injury Report: Still no Amari Cooper or Cedric Tillman with Texans two days away
As the Cleveland Browns prepare to take on the Houston Texans this weekend in the opening round of the playoffs, they are still without wide receivers Amari Cooper and Cedric Tillman in practice.
Cooper missed the final two games of the season against the New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals, and is listed as a rest-related “did not practice.” There is hope there is no fear of his status for Saturday’s game. Tillman, however, suffered a concussion against the Bengals and will be a further shot to suit up.
However, several other starters returned to practice, including Pro Bowlers Myles Garrett, David Njoku, and Joel Bitonio. Safety Juan Thornhill, who has been battling a calf injury all season, has also returned to practice with fellow defensive back Greg Newsome II.
All in all, the Browns are entering this Wild Card matchup as healthy as they have been in quite a while. Can they get Cooper and Tillman back to practice today in their final tune-up before they travel to Houston?
Here is every player who either missed practice or was limited in practice on Wednesday.
