Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney questionable, Browns rule out 2 other players vs. Falcons

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said the Browns will make their decision on Garrett closer to Sunday’s game.

“We’ll use the next 24-48 hours to see how he continues to respond to treatment and those types of things, then make an appropriate decision on him and the rest of the guys,” he said.

If Garrett or Clowney are out, the Browns will rely more on rookie DEs Alex Wright and Isaiah Thomas and five-year veteran DE Isaac Rochell to fill the gap. Wright has played in all three games this season and has increased his snap count each week, tallying two pass breakups and four tackles so far. Rochell tallied four tackles in Week 3, while Thomas last played nine defensive snaps in Week 2.

Tommy Togiai will be next in line at DT for Bryan. A second-year veteran, Togiai has two tackles and half-sack and has been active for all three games.

“Tommy has done a nice job really going back to last year,” Stefanski said. “When he gets in there, he finds the ball. Plays hard. Strong football player.”

After missing practice Wednesday and being limited Thursday with back and rib injuries, CB Denzel Ward said he plans to play Sunday and said the missed time was “just precautionary.”
