Browns injury report: Who's in, who's out vs Vikings Week 5 clash?
Two players have been listed as ‘questionable’ by the Browns in the injury report while one player is confirmed to miss the Sunday game against the Vikings.
The Cleveland Browns’s preparations for their game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings have run into some difficulties with two players being deemed “questionable” and one ruled out. This game, all set to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, will see Myles Garrett take the field after the defensive end had been featured on the injury report earlier.
The two players listed as “questionable” on the injury report are offensive tackle Jack Conklin and cornerback Greg Newsome II. The confirmed absentee for the game is defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr.
ABC News 5 Cleveland reports that Conklin is nursing an elbow injury sustained before the Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Some progress has been made by him as he had his first full practice session on Friday. Newsome has a hamstring injury, which has limited his participation in practice.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski is hoping for both players to recover.
“He’s pushing. Has been pushing really hard these last few weeks, so I’m hopeful, but we’ve got to get through the next few days,” he said about Conklin, as per ABC News 5 Cleveland.
“Maybe there was something lingering, maybe from the game, but (it happened) Wednesday. He’s working through it, so we’ll see,” the head coach told the media about Newsome.

Browns vs Vikings preview
While the Browns have a couple of injury-related issues, the Vikings are also struggling with a few problems of their own.
According to NFL.com, as many as three players are “questionable” and six are ruled out. Quarterback Carson Wentz has had a mixed season, starting strong against the Bengals but then getting sacked six times in Week 4. With Garrett back in the lineup for the Browns, it is going to be a challenging task for the QB to make a mark.
The Browns are in desperate need of a win as they are 1-3 on the season after the first four weeks. The Vikings, on the other hand, are 2-2.
Cleveland will be pinning their hopes on rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who will have his first start of his career on Sunday. He has been brought in to bolster the unit after disappointing outings for veteran Joe Flacco, NFL.com reports.
