Browns top cornerback Denzel Ward to miss Sunday’s game against Denver with shoulder injury

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:36:12 GMT

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns will be without Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward on Sunday against Denver due to a shoulder injury.Ward missed his third straight practice on Friday, and coach Kevin Stefanski said the 26-year-old, who is having a sensational season for the league’s top-ranked defense, will sit against the Broncos (5-5).Stefanski wouldn’t forecast how long Ward, who got hurt in last weekend’s win over Pittsburgh, could be sidelined. Stefanski did not know the exact play in which Ward was injured.Ward’s absence puts extra pressure on Cleveland’s secondary, which has been dealing with several injuries the past two weeks.With Ward out, the Browns likely will start Greg Newsome II and Martin Emerson Jr. at the corners but they have other options.Starting safety Juan Thornhill returned to practice this week after missing two games with a calf injury and is listed as questionable.Stefanski also ruled out wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (concuss...

Packers’ surge raises hopes they could work their way into playoff contention

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:36:12 GMT

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur took issue this week when he was asked whether he’s reminding players about the possibility of making a late-season playoff run.LaFleur said he didn’t “want to go Jim Mora on you,” a reference to the sarcastic response by the former Indianapolis Colts coach to a playoff question during a disappointing 2001 season. LaFleur then added “I think we’re a long way from even thinking about that.”The postseason certainly seemed like a distant possibility after a four-game skid dropped the Packers to 2-5. The Packers seemed to concede as much when they sent veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas to the Buffalo Bills at the trade deadline.Green Bay (5-6) has won three of four since that slide, and the idea that the Packers could play meaningful games around Christmas suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched anymore. A surging offense, a resourceful defense and a favorable late-season schedule have created cause for optimism.“We’re trying to leave our mark on t...
