The Cleveland Browns are facing significant injury challenges ahead of their Thursday night game against the New York Jets, with several key players' statuses in question. Wide receiver Amari Cooper, who was recently named AFC Offensive Player of the Week, is listed as questionable due to a heel issue, as are safety Juan Thornhill with a calf injury and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin with a knee injury. The Browns have ruled out kicker Dustin Hopkins with a hamstring injury, linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. with a knee injury, and defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo with a pectoral injury. Additionally, punter Corey Bojorquez is doubtful due to a quad injury. Quarterback Thompson-Robinson has been placed on injured reserve. To address these concerns, the Browns have elevated kicker Riley Patterson and punter Matt Haack from the practice squad for the game, indicating that both Hopkins and Bojorquez are unlikely to play. The Jets also have their own injury worries, including concerns about their kicker. The Browns are aiming to clinch the AFC playoff 5th seed and will be doing so with replacements at both kicker and punter positions.
