A report on Sunday said wide receiver Amari Cooper was unlikely to play for the Browns on Monday night, but Cooper's outlook improved as kickoff drew closer.

Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit was all over the field against the Cincinnati Bengals in the opening game in Cleveland. He made an impact in both run defense and covering from the slot, the box, and as a deep safety. He has continued his hot start with a big interception of Kenny Pickett on the first drive of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It looks like the former LSU Tiger is ready to build off the best game of his career as he reads Pickett perfectly to jump the pass on third down. If the Browns continue to get this version of Delpit this defense can do something special under Jim Schwartz

The Cleveland Browns gained some attention after shutting down the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense during a 24-3 opening-week victory at home. It wasn’t just locally as NFL Network’s Michael Irvin chose the Browns as the team he is all aboard the hype train for during this week’s NFL Gameday Morning Show.

He talked briefly about the defense but also about the running game of Nick Chubb paired with the impact Deshaun Watson can have as a runner as well. The team had to lean on old school smash mouth football last week and showed they can adapt and win bad weather games, a must playing on the lake

The Cleveland Browns lost two of their starting cornerbacks in the third quarter during the primetime game against the Steelers. Greg Newsome II and Denzel Ward exited the game within plays of each other. The Browns lost Nick Chubb for the season during the first half. The evening has gone extremely poorly for the squad since Chubb’s injury.

Denzel Ward went into the locker room according to broadcast reports. It’s unclear what happened to Denzel, but it’s never a good sign when a player leaves the field and heads to the medical room

If the night couldn’t get any worse for the Cleveland Browns Za’Darius Smith went down during the third quarter. This comes after running back Nick Chubb was carted off with a serious knee injury. He was later seen on the sideline wearing his helmet as he returned to the game for the Browns. The Browns lost Nick Chubb to a season-ending knee injury earlier in the evening. 

Smith was the marquee addition this off-season. He was Myles Garrett’s partner in crime against the Bengals, giving their offensive lineman fits last week. The Browns cannot lose more starters on their team. The NFL is a game of attrition and the Browns are starting to lose quickly. Hopefully, Za’Darius can recover from his injury quickly

The Cleveland Browns get some great news as they get set to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just 90 minutes away from this AFC North showdown on Monday Night Football, wide receiver will be active and play in this one after tweaking his groin late in the week. Safety Juan Thornhill will also make his Cleveland debut after missing the first week of the season with a calf injury.

This is a huge boost for a team looking to get off to not only a 2-0 start for the first time in 30 years, but to a 2-0 start in the AFC North as well. With a win, the Browns would sit atop the AFC North, taking the tiebreaker over the Baltimore Ravens (who they will play in Week 4) with more divisional wins
