Cleveland’s defensive backs Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson were both activated off the COVID-19 reserve list after missing the past two games. Ward typically serves as the team’s number one corner and Johnson is the starting nickelback for the Browns. With their matchup against the high powered Kansas City Chiefs looming, a healthy secondary is extremely important for the Browns. The good news is that both are back but the bad is that depth corner Robert Jackson was placed on IR due to a hamstring injury he suffered against the Steelers and he will be missed as they need all the help they can get on defense.
