Browns Vs Raiders: Inactives and Roster Information
The Cleveland Browns face off with the Oakland Raiders in just a few minutes. The Browns are coming in with a little more health than last week and have made a big change to their offensive line for Browns Vs Raiders:
#Browns Nick McDonald starting at center, John Greco back to right guard vs. Raiders.

Getting Greco back at right guard, in replace of Paul McQuistan, is huge. McDonald should be able to hold his own. Overall that is an upgrade to the offensive line as well as the running game. Brian Hoyer should have more confidence with that unit up front which should help the passing game. Here are the Browns Inactives for the game:
#Browns inactives: DL Phil Taylor, DL Billy Winn, CBs Robert Nelson, Pierre Desir, WR Rodney Smith, RB Glenn Winston, OL Vinston Painter.

No big surprises here for the Browns. Winn continues to be out while Taylor was expected to miss games after his knee surgery. At some point we expect the rookie Desir to see the field but an injury to his knee has delayed his progression.
Overall the Browns return to some health but have issues on defense again with Taylor and Winn out. Thankfully the Raiders rushing offense is terrible. How the adjustment to the offensive line impacts the Browns on the ground could be telling.
What do you think of the move at center?
