Browns, Chargers first injury report for Week 5

Unfortunately for many teams in the NFL, the injury report has become the most important document very quickly into the 2022 NFL season. For the Cleveland Browns, not having Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney and Taven Bryan in Week 5 opened up their team for a loss.

As we covered earlier Wednesday, Garrett and Bryan returned to practice but Clowney was still not participating. The Los Angeles Chargers have been dealing with a lot of injury issues as well including Joey Bosa and Rashawn Slater on injured reserve.
