Here is the injury report for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints:

Position	Player	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Position	Player	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
WR	Jarvis Landry	Thigh	FULL	FULL	FULL
OT	Desmond Harrison	Shoulder	FULL	FULL	FULL

LB	Christian Kirksey	Shoulder/Ankle	LIMITED	LIMITED	LIMITED	QUESTIONABLE

OG	Andrus Peat	Ankle	LIMITED	LIMITED	FULL
OT	Terron Armstead	Knee	LIMITED	LIMITED	FULL
DT	Tyeler Davison	Foot	DNP	DNP	DNP	OUT

The Browns will be without DE Emmanuel Ogbah this week, as reported earlier. Veteran DL Chris Smith will make his first career start in place of Ogbah, showing the team’s questionable depth at the position after choosing to cut the likes of DE Carl Nassib and DE Nate Orchard.
The only other player on the injury report for Cleveland this week is LB Christian Kirksey, who is questionable with a shoulder/ankle injury. He was limited all week. Returning from a concussion this week is LB James Burgess. If Kirksey can’t go, then expect Burgess to start in his place.
CB E.J. Gaines was a full participant in Friday’s practice and should be ready to return to game action.
The Saints are only without one player this week, DT Tyeler Davison. He has been a starter for the past few seasons, as well as last week’s game, so that could open the door for Marcus Davenport to see some more action.
