Browns' Playoff Push Hampered by Key Defensive Injuries
Safety Grant Delpit and defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo sidelined, further straining an already injury-riddled team.
- Browns safety Grant Delpit, who recently signed a three-year, $36 million contract extension, has been placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury, ending his regular season.
- Defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo is also out with a pectoral injury, which may sideline him for several weeks or longer.
- The Browns, currently in the No. 5 playoff spot in the AFC, have been hit hard by injuries this season, including losses of starting tackles Jedrick Wills Jr. and Dawand Jones.
- Despite the injuries, the Browns have managed to maintain a record of 8-5, with the possibility of Delpit returning if they qualify for the postseason.
- In response to Delpit's injury, the Browns have signed safety Duron Harmon from the practice squad to the active roster.
