Jadeveon Clowney, Jack Conklin headline 7 inactives vs. Steelers

As the Cleveland Browns seek to end their disappointing 2022 campaign on a high note, with a chance to spoil the playoff dreams of the Pittsburgh Steelers, they have announced their seven inactives for this afternoon’s game. The elephant in the room here is defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, as he was sent home and ruled out after lashing out at the Browns during an interview this week. Jack Conklin has also been listed as inactive after being ruled out with an ankle injury.

Here is the full list of inactives as the Browns look to end their season on a 5-2 run.

James Hudson against T.J. Watt will be a matchup to watch as the Browns shut Conklin down.

Kellen Mond will likely enter 2023 as the backup quarterback to Deshaun Watson. However, while Jacoby cherishes one more week in Cleveland, Mond takes a backseat.

The Browns have opted to give Tommy Togiai another shot after numerous weeks in a row as a healthy scratch.

As the Browns have maintained health at the cornerback position, and with Martin Emerson Jr. garnering Rookie of the Year hype, there is no room for Graham Jr. to dress against the Steelers.

WR/RB Demetric Felton

The Browns have given Jaelon Darden a nod for the second week in a row as he seeks to find a role over Demetric Felton.
