CLEVELAND BROWNS NEWS

Jordan Hicks - Doesn't practice Wednesday Hicks (elbow/triceps) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact Hicks has missed three of the Browns' last four contests after sustaining elbow and triceps injuries in the team's Week 4 loss to the Raiders. Wednesday's DNP suggests that both his elbow and triceps are still bothering him, and he's in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. The veteran linebacker will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 9.

Tony Brown II - Goes to IR Cleveland placed Brown (foot) on its injured reserve list Tuesday.

Impact Brown suffered a foot injury while he was on punt coverage during Sunday's game versus the Ravens, and now he'll have to sit out for at least the next four weeks. He's played all of his snaps so far this season on special teams, so Cleveland will have to look for a way to replace his production in that phase.

Impact Darden had already reached his maximum of three elevations from the practice squad, meaning he had to be inked to the 53-man roster in order to contribute Sunday against the Chargers. The 25-year-old will continue working as a key punt returner for the Browns, as well as playing a depth role on offense.

Jameis Winston - Entrenched as starter Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Winston will continue to start at quarterback heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Chargers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chr...

Impact Stefanski praised Winston's ability to go through progressions in his first start of the 2024 campaign, an upset 29-24 win over the Ravens on Sunday. Winston completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions versus Baltimore, a statline superior in terms of both yards and TDs to any of the seven starts that Deshaun Watson (Achilles) logged for the Browns prior to going down with a season-ending injury. Winston connected with Cedric Tillman on a pair of touchdowns versus the Ravens, as well as one to tight end David Njoku, with all three of his scores coming on passes of 20-plus yards. Winston's aggressive tendencies and willingness to push the ball downfield will place him on the fantasy radar for the remainder of the season, though he faces a tough matchup against Los Angeles in Week 9.
