Edwards, running game were key for Ravens against Browns
Baltimore running back Gus Edwards missed all of last season following a severe knee injury, and Sunday’s 23-20 win over Cleveland was his first game backOCTOBER 24, 2022•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Denzel Ward - Still in concussion protocolWard is still in concussion protocol Monday ahead of Cleveland's matchup versus Cincinnati in Week 8, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactWard sustained a blow to the head back in Week 5 and has remained in the league's concussion protocol since. The two-time Pro Bowler will probably need to practice in some capacity this week in order to suit up for Monday Night Football versus the Bengals.

Kenyan Drake - Held to five yards in Week 7Drake rushed 11 times for five yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
ImpactAfter rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries against the Giants in the previous game, Drake was bottled up by the Browns. Gus Edwards (knee) made his season debut and was far more effective on the ground, scoring two touchdowns while racking up 66 yards on 16 carries. Edwards should function as Baltimore's top rushing option for the remainder of J.K. Dobbins' (knee) absence, while Drake will likely be limited to a change-of-pace role.

Jacob Phillips - Likely done for seasonPhillips is believed to have sustained a season-ending pectoral injury during Sunday's loss at Baltimore, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactIt's a tough blow to a Cleveland front seven that was already struggling to defend the run. If Phillips does indeed miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign, the Browns will probably need to lean more heavily on Deion Jones at linebacker.

David Njoku - Expected to miss 2-to-5 weeksNjoku (ankle) was diagnosed Monday with a left high-ankle sprain and is expected to miss 2-to-5 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ImpactBrowns head coach Kevin Stefanski called Njoku week-to-week after the tight end was forced out of Sunday's 23-20 loss at Baltimore and spotted in a walking boot after the contest. Njoku doesn't look like he'll be a candidate to return to the field until after Cleveland's bye Week 9, and considering his projected 2-to-5-week timetable, a stint on injured reserve also could be in play. Harrison Bryant stands to benefit from increased opportunities as long as Njoku is sidelined.
