Cooper, Newsome and Smith are Idle from Practice with Injuries

Some key Browns players were held out of a walkthrough practice on Wednesday due to injuries.

On a short week, the Cleveland Browns have to move on from all that happened on Monday night to pivot their focus to the Tennessee Titans. They returned this afternoon for a walkthrough to begin preparations without some very key players taking part due to injury.

Wide receiver Amari Cooper, still dealing with his groin injury also has a shoulder designation added to the injury report. Cooper injured his groin late in last Saturday's practice and was questionable prior to the game. He did play and managed to lead the team in catches and receiving.

Cornerback Greg Newsome injured his elbow during the game while making a tackle on receiver Miles Boykin as it appears his arm was pinned underneath Boykin's body. He went down on the field in pain before leaving the field with trainers. Yesterday, head coach Kevin Stefanski described the injury as day to day.

Defensive end Za'Darius Smith was also held out with what is being listed as a thigh and ankle injury. Smith went down during the game in discomfort before limping off the field. He would later return to the game and it seems that it is nothing major.

The walkthrough is light in nature compared to a normal practice session and will allow players to recover from the game less than 48 hours ago. Holding these players out today was more than likely an opportunity to keep them inside with trainers to get extra treatment and rest for their injuries. 

When asked about the availability of the players for Sunday, Stefanski said that he considers them all day to day and expects them to be available on Sunday.
