Browns announce 7 inactives as Amari Cooper is set to play vs. Bengals

The Cleveland Browns have released their inactives list for their matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals as seven players appear. The biggest news, however, surrounds a player not on the list as wide receiver Amari Cooper will fight through a hip injury to put his best foot forward for the Browns today.

While he was listed as questionable coming into this AFC North matchup, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said he would give it a go today. Cooper then went out to test the hip pregame, deciding he was good enough to play today against the Bengals.

Who were the seven inactives, however? We take a look here.

Mond has not been active all season, but is the backup of the future after the release of Josh Dobbs.

Darden just arrived this week, but should find a role once he gets his grounding in Cleveland.

LB Reggie Ragland

Just added this week after Sione Takitaki hit Injured Reserve, Ragland should not be active unless absolutely necessary.

Williams is a free agent after the season and has been consistently out-snapped by Martin Emerson and A.J. Green this season.

As the Browns continue to tinker with their defensive end rotation, they turn back to Isaiah Thomas over Chase Winovich.

After taking the swing tackle snaps last week, the Browns are giving them back to James Hudson.

DT Tommy Togiai

Make it multiple weeks in a row where Togiai has not dressed as Perrion Winfrey has solidified himself in the defensive tackle rotation over the past two weeks.
