All eyes will be on the Cleveland Browns for a pivotal matchup in week 10

The Cleveland Browns have hit a crucial point in their schedule where they must win the games that they are favored in. Below are five players to watch for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday to make sure that happens in their upcoming game against the Houston Texans.

5. Wyatt Teller, Guard

The Browns appeared able to run the ball vs. any team in the NFL until Wyatt Teller was injured vs. the Indianapolis Colts. Sure, losing Nick Chubb wasn’t any additional help, but Cleveland has struggled since his departure.

While it won’t be cemented until Friday, all signs point towards a Teller comeback on Sunday vs. the Houston Texans. After the offense disappointed two weeks ago vs. the Las Vegas Raiders, look for Kevin Stefanski to try and set the tone early with his dominant run-blocking guard back on the line.

While the whole offensive line must be better this week to run the ball, Teller has been phenomenal pulling right to left and opening lanes between Jedrick Wills and Joel Bitonio. His quickness and ability to block in space is something to be desired by all and his presence has been missed greatly.

With a full month off there shouldn’t be any limitations for Teller on Sunday. He suffered a strained calf and with a capable backup like Chris Hubbard, it felt like the organization was being cautious.  Hubbard did a tremendous job filling in, especially in pass protection. But he just lacks the athleticism and open field skills to be as efficient as Teller in the run game.

The entire offense will get a huge lift from Teller being back, and you can expect a big day on the ground as the offensive line is back to full strength.
