The Cleveland Browns provided an injury update ahead of their Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Several players are facing challenges as the team prepares for the match.
Injury Status Overview
- Mike Hall Jr. – Out (Knee Injury)
- Jack Conklin – Questionable (Elbow Injury)
- Greg Newsome II – Questionable (Hamstring Injury)
Mike Hall Jr.
Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. will not participate in the upcoming game due to a knee injury. This marks his fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, as he did not travel with the team to London.
Jack Conklin’s Condition
Right tackle Jack Conklin has been limited in practice leading up to the game. Conklin suffered an elbow injury in practice before Week 2, which has kept him out for three games. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed optimism about his return, stating, “He has been pushing really hard these past few weeks.”
Greg Newsome II’s Hamstring Injury
Cornerback Greg Newsome II’s status is uncertain as he deals with a hamstring issue. This injury appeared on Thursday’s practice report, though he was limited in participation. The Browns opted for a walkthrough instead of a full practice after arriving in London.
Coach Stefanski noted that this hamstring injury might be a recurrence from Week 4, but it primarily developed anew on Thursday. The team’s medical staff will monitor his condition leading up to Sunday’s game.
Upcoming Clash Against the Vikings
The game against the Vikings promises to be pivotal for the Browns, especially with these injury concerns. Both Conklin and Newsome’s participation will be closely watched as the team aims to secure a victory in London.
