The Cleveland Browns have their fair share of injury issues heading into Sunday’s game with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Unfortunately Thursday’s injury reports didn’t alleviate any of the said issues as there were no changes from Wednesday’s week-oping report.

Running backs Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty along with defensive back T.J. Ward all missed the entire practice. All three will likely be ruled out when the Browns release thier final injury report of the week on Friday.

The remaining injury report is included below.

Cleveland Browns running back Montario Hardesty did not participate in practice with teammates indoors on Wednesday, but he did test his injured calf during a supervised outdoor workout, as reported by Tom Withers of the AP. 

“I want to play, but right now we’re still working to get there,” he said. “So we’re just gonna keep on progressing. I’ve been running, just keep on progressing and see how I feel.”

Hardesty has missed two straight games after tearing a muscle in his right calf in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 30, as the Browns have been hit hard at running back with both Hardesty and Peyton Hillis missing time with injuries.

But while Hillis has already been ruled out for this week, Coach Pat Shurmur expects Hardesty to practice this week and hopes he can play on Sunday when the Browns take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Cleveland Browns are slated to play the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend, but the team probably won’t be able to take advantage of the Jags’ banged up defensive line like it would most weeks. The Browns released their first injury report of the week on Wednesday with no surprises, meaning top running backs Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty were still out due to injury.

Hillis continues to miss practice time with a hamstring injury while Hardesty is dealing with a calf injury. Hillis has already been ruled out for the Jaguars game and even though Hardesty hasn’t been yet, his status on Wednesday is not exactly encouraging.

The only other player that missed practice on Wednesday is defensive back T. J. Ward. Ward, dealing with injuries to both his foot and his finger, is expected to miss this weekend as well.

The full injury report is included below.

The Cleveland Browns injury report probably won’t be all that revealing this week as the two most important players — Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty — were already ruled out on Monday. That said, there are unfortunately plenty of other players injured going into this weekend’s game against the St. Louis Rams.

Aside from Hillis and Hardesty, there were five other players that were unable to participate in Wednesday’s practice. Mohamed Massaquoi, still recovering from a concussion, was out along with Auston English and defensive backs Dimitri Patterson, T.J. Ward and Usama Young.

A full list of the Browns’ injury report is included below.
