As the Baltimore Ravens prepare to host the Cleveland Browns Sunday, they've added one of their defensive tackles to the injury report in Brandon Williams, who is now listed as questionable due to a knee injury. Williams is a big clogger in the middle of the Ravens defensive line next to Michael Pierce.

Were he unable to go, the Ravens would be relying on Daylon Mack and Patrick Ricard to replace him. Mack is another talented clogger while Ricard also doubles as the team's fullback. The Ravens run an odd front and only carry five true interior players, so should they need more than that, it might moving someone like Jaylon Ferguson or perhaps Pernell McPhee to provide some help at that position.

The Browns, who want to get Baker Mayfield going, would certainly be willing to take advantage of a weakened defensive front to get Nick Chubb going and hopefully create some opportunities to in the passing game via play action and quick passes.

Should the Browns come out with a victory, they tie the Ravens for first place, both at 2-2. A loss would put the Browns two games behind as they continue to work through the most difficult stretch of their schedule.
