Cleveland Browns vs. Raiders Injury Report: Emmanuel Ogbah, Christian Kirksey will play

The Cleveland Browns are heading to Oakland to play the Raiders in Week 4 and will get a couple defenders back, but have another important one listed as questionable

With the Cleveland Browns heading to California to play the Oakland Raiders, they look to be fairly healthy. As of Friday night, they had just linebacker James Burgess listed as being out due to a knee injury.

The good news, however, is that linebacker Christian Kirksey and defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah will both be back in the lineup for Cleveland after missing time with a shoulder and ankle injury for Kirksey and an ankle injury for Ogbah.

With them leaving the injury report, a couple other names entered it. Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion in Week 3, which led to Baker Mayfield leading them to a win and stealing the starting job.

Since then, a back injury has popped up as well for Taylor, and it’s probably a safe bet to assume he won’t play. That would make Drew Stanton the backup to Mayfield in his first start.

Also new to the injury report is Damarious Randall. The free safety has been an excellent addition to the Browns and continues to find ways to take the ball away from the opposing offenses.

Seth DeValve is the last player on the list as he’s still working his way back from a hamstring injury. If he makes it to the field on Sunday, it will be his first appearance of the season.

Here is the full injury report according to the Browns official website.
