Browns’ starting DBs uncertain to play vs. Rams

NFL

BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns‘ entire starting secondary missed Friday’s practice with injuries heading into Sunday night’s game against quarterback Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams.

Both of Cleveland’s starting cornerbacks, Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams, are questionable after suffering hamstring injuries this week. In response, the Browns signed cornerback Robert Jackson to the active roster off their practice squad.

Safety Morgan Burnett (quad) also didn’t practice Friday and is listed as questionable. The Browns have already ruled out safety Damarious Randall for Sunday due to a concussion.

“The guys that are there [against the Rams], I expect us to show up and play well, compete every snap,” Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said. “The expectations haven’t changed. I just need 11 on each side of the ball to show up and play.”

The Browns were already without starting tight end David Njoku (wrist) and linebacker Christian Kirksey (chest), who both could be out for an extended time. Kitchens said both players are getting opinions on whether they will need surgery.

Other starters listed as questionable for Sunday include right tackle Chris Hubbard (foot) and wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee).
