When it comes to Monday Night Football this week, there is a lot to cover. The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals face off in an interesting AFC North matchup. Not only is the matchup interesting but it comes on Halloween night. Take a look at some Browns-themed Halloween decorations set up around the area.

Injuries look like the biggest storyline for the game. We knew earlier this afternoon that eight Browns players were expected to sit out practice with injuries. Two more sat out due to rest.

TE David Njoku could play despite reports that he could miss up to five weeks.

We also just got word that star Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase will miss the game and could be out for up to six weeks.

Here are the first injury reports for the week:
