The Cleveland Browns are facing potential challenges in their defense ahead of the matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Star cornerback Denzel Ward is questionable due to a concussion sustained in the previous game. He has been working through the NFL's concussion protocol and returned to practice late in the week.

Additionally, linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is ruled out due to a neck injury, while Jordan Hicks will also miss the game due to multiple injuries. Veteran tackle Joel Bitonio has cleared his injury concerns and is set to play.
