Ward Cleared; Owusu-Koramoah on Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns are facing significant injury challenges as they prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers. Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has been placed on injured reserve due to a neck injury, sidelining him for at least four games. Cornerback Denzel Ward, who suffered his sixth NFL concussion, has remarkably cleared the protocol and is expected to play against the Chargers. Ward leads the league with 13 passes defended, making his presence crucial as the Browns aim to break their losing streak. Meanwhile, left guard Joel Bitonio and tight end David Njoku have returned to practice and are expected to play without injury designations. The Browns' lineup adjustments reflect their efforts to maintain competitiveness amid these setbacks.
