The Cleveland Browns will be without three more players for Saturday’s playoff game against the Houston Texans.
Safety Grant Delpit, kicker Dustin Hopkins, and wide receiver Cedric Tillman have all been ruled out due to their respective injuries.
There’s also a chance that star cornerback Denzel Ward misses the game after suffering a knee injury in practice this week. He’s currently listed as questionable.

The Browns will have to rely on Riley Patterson at kicker since Hopkins has been dealing with a hamstring injury for the last few weeks.
D’Anthony Bell and Duron Harmon will take reps at safety with Delpit out while James Proche II will take the place of Tillman.
The Browns are trying to get their second playoff win in the last four years after they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC wild-card round in 2020.
Kickoff will be at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
