Browns, Steelers injury report: 8 Browns, 2 Steelers listed as DNPs

The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers square off on Monday Night Football in Week 2 of the NFL season. With their game a day later, both teams released their first injury report on Thursday.

Pittsburgh officially placed DL Cam Heyward on injured reserve so he doesn’t show up on today’s list. Heyward’s estimated return was updated on Thursday as well. Early in Cleveland’s practice, it was noted that two players were not participating due to injury but the list is much longer than that.

Browns Injury Report

• Joel Bitonio - Rest - DNP
• Amari Cooper - Rest - DNP

• Anthony Walker - Rest - DNP
• Shelby Harris - Achilles - DNP
• Maurice Hurst - Hamstring - DNP
• Siaki Ika - Foot - DNP
• Juan Thornhill - Calf - DNP

A ton of defenders on the list after just one week and an extra day of is concerning but, hopefully, just precautions with the first day of practice.
