The Cleveland Browns will be without Grant Delpit as they get set to take on the Houston Texans, but they may also be without Pro Bowler Denzel Ward.
Delpit, while the Browns have designated him for return and while he has been practicing, is not quite ready as he recovers from surgery on his groin that put him on Injured Reserve a month ago. It looks as though he will be good to go should the Browns find their way into the divisional round.
After tweaking his knee in practice on Thursday, Ward was a late addition to the injury report, he is now listed as questionable to play. However, NFL Network’s Ian Rappoport has reported that Ward is expected to be fine and to play on Saturday afternoon.
Here is every player that either has a gameday designation, was limited in Thursday’s practice, or did not practice ahead of their Wild Card showdown against the Texans.
CB Mike Ford: Limited (calf) QUESTIONABLE
K Dustin Hopkins: DNP (hamstring) OUT
RB Pierre Strong: Limited (back) QUESTIONABLE
S Juan Thornhill: Limited (calf) QUESTIONABLE
WR Cedric Tillman: DNP (concussion) OUT
CB Denzel Ward: Limited (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE
S Grant Delpit: Limited (groin) OUT
