As the Cleveland Browns get set for their Week 17 showdown against the New York Jets, they were forced to elevate two special teamers from their practice squad. With kicker Dustin Hopkins out and punter Corey Bojorquez listed as questionable, both Riley Patterson and Matt Haack will dress for the Browns tonight.
Hopkins, however, was not placed on Injured Reserve, as head coach Kevin Stefanski has stated he is week-to-week. While he may not return next week against the Cincinnati Bengals, there is hope that he will be back for the playoffs as the Browns have the opportunity to punch their ticket tonight.
Can the Browns overcome a couple more injuries as they look to seal their postseason fate against the Jets tonight?
After the elevation of Patterson and Haack, here is the Browns’ 55-man gameday roster. As a reminder, the inactives list of players who will not dress will drop 90 minutes before gametime.
