Browns, Chargers Thursday’s injury report for Week 5

Thursday brought some updates on injuries for the Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Chargers. For the visitors, Keenan Allen not participating for the second day in a row and Gerald Everett being added to the list is the most significant news. Kyle Van Noy went from Limited to a Full participant on Thursday. Otherwise, everyone else on the Chargers list remained the same.

For the home team Browns, Amari Cooper returned to practice while Jack Conklin took a rest day on Thursday. Joel Bitonio, Harrison Bryant, Joe Haeg and David Njoku improved their statuses from Wednesday to Thursday.

Jadeveon Clowney remains on the sideline at practice.

Here is the entire injury report from both teams:

A lot of Browns players trending in the right direction with only Clowney not participating due to injury. Getting everyone healthy and playing is vital for the team going into a very tough stretch.

For the Chargers, the status of Allen, Hopkins and, newly added to the list, Everett will be key to watch going into tomorrow’s final injury report. Allen, like Clowney, could play even if he doesn’t practice this week but hamstring injuries are a high risk for aggravation-type injuries that Los Angeles may play it safe.
