Browns vs. Vikings: Key Player Injuries Ahead of London Clash

Cleveland Browns Face Player Challenges in London Matchup

WATFORD, England — As the Cleveland Browns prepare for their Week 5 showdown against the Minnesota Vikings in London, the team has announced the game statuses for several players who have experienced injuries.

Mike Hall Jr. Sidelined with Knee Injury

Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. has been ruled out due to a knee injury, marking his fifth consecutive missed game this season. The Browns made the decision prior to traveling overseas, as Hall did not accompany the team to London.

Jack Conklin and Greg Newsome II Listed as Questionable

Right tackle Jack Conklin, dealing with an elbow injury, remains questionable for Sunday’s match. Conklin, who has previously missed three games following an injury in practice before Week 2, participated in limited practice sessions throughout the week. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski remains optimistic about Conklin’s return, stating, “He has been pushing really hard these past few weeks, so I’m hopeful, but got to get through the next few days.”

Cornerback Greg Newsome II also appears on the injury list with a hamstring concern. His injury surfaced in Thursday’s report, where he was a limited participant. Although the Browns did not conduct a full practice on Thursday, opting for a walkthrough instead after arriving in London, Newsome’s condition is being monitored, especially following a possible lingering issue from Week 4.

Monitoring Player Health Ahead of Sunday

The Browns are carefully watching the fitness of both Conklin and Newsome as Sunday approaches. With both players playing crucial roles, their availability could significantly impact the team’s performance against the Vikings in an international setting.

The situation highlights the ongoing challenges teams face in navigating player health in the demanding schedule of the NFL.
