Cooper In, Jones Out For Browns Against Jaguars

Cleveland released their final injury report ahead of their Week 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars
In this story:

Cleveland gave its final injury report before they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 14 matchup.

The headliner for Cleveland is wide receiver Amari Cooper. Out in Los Angeles, Cooper suffered a head injury that landed him in concussion protocol and left him listed as questionable for this week's game against Jacksonville. 

On Saturday, Cooper passed through the concussion protocol and is cleared to play on Sunday.

In a bit of surprising news, rookie right tackle Dawand Jones is listed as out for this game. According to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Jones tweaked his knee during practice this week and it will cause him to miss this game. This will prove to be another test for this Cleveland team to overcome yet another injury. 

In other roster news, the Browns officially activated Joe Flacco from the practice squad and he will be on the active roster for Sunday. 

Cleveland also activated m cornerback Cam Mitchell. Mitchell has spent the past four weeks on the injured reserve after sustaining a hamstring injury on November 7th.

To make room for Mitchell on the roster, the Browns officially waived quarterback PJ Walker from their roster. Walker will no longer be a member of the Cleveland Browns.

The Jaguars defense is vulnerable in the passing game so the news about Amari Cooper passing through concussion protocol is huge for this offense. The Browns' offensive attack needs their number-one receiver so that they can find some balance on Sunday.

We will get the official inactives for the game about 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday.
