The 2023 Cleveland Browns season has become a testament to Murphy’s Law, where anything that can go wrong, especially in terms of player health, has indeed gone wrong. The team’s ongoing struggle with injuries persists, making the final stretch of the season no exception.
Browns insider Fred Greetham took to Twitter to reveal that the team will be missing four crucial defensive players in their upcoming clash against the Houston Texans. The absence of Juan Thornhill, Jordan Kunaszyk, Anthony Walker Jr., and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo is a significant blow, particularly in a game with high stakes and potential postseason implications.
On a positive note, there is a glimmer of hope as Joel Bitonio is listed as questionable for the game. However, the Texans are also grappling with challenges, as star rookie QB C.J. Stroud is likely sidelined due to a concussion. In his place, veteran Case Keenum will step onto the field. Additionally, standout rookie Will Anderson Jr. might also be absent.
