The Cleveland Browns safety was shown having some difficulty clearing the snow off his truck on Tuesday morning.

Jedrick Wills Jr. was not the only Browns player becoming newsworthy as a result of the now. Ronnie Harrison was shown clearing off his truck Tuesday morning while Greedy Williams posted it on Instagram.

Ronnie Harrison even quote tweeted this tweet and added some commentary of his own.

Definitely a major change of scenery for Ronnie Harrison who is from Florida, attended college at Alabama, and played two seasons in Jacksonville before coming to Cleveland.

Greedy Williams placed on injured reserve

Cleveland’s secondary will have to wait for more help as they are placing the former second-round pick on IR.

The 2020 debut of Greedy Williams is not in the immediate future as the Cleveland Browns are placing the second year corner on injured reserve.

The bright side is that Williams does not need surgery and a return/debut is still in the cards. Any sort of production or playing time from Greedy should be considered a bonus at this point as this really seems to be a lost season. If the Browns are able to activate Williams this season it would really help a porous pass defense.

Greedy Williams appeared in 12 games as a rookie finishing with 47 tackles (37 solo). Opposing quarterbacks completed 61.3% of their passes and had a 84.9 QB rating when targeting receivers covered by Williams. While these numbers are not great by any means, Williams did not allow a touchdown so there is something positive to point to.

The Cleveland Browns will be without cornerback Greedy Williams, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, and linebacker Tae Davis this Sunday.

Some bad news for the Cleveland Browns defense ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Cleveland will be without Greedy Williams, Larry Ogunjobi, and Tae Davis this Sunday.

Greedy Williams is yet to appear in a game this season and Kevin Stefanski stated that they are not considering putting him IR at this time.

This will be the first missed game for Larry Ogunjobi this season. Ogunjobi has been a productive and disruptive presence on the Browns defensive line this season. Ogunjobi has 10 total tackles (2 for loss), and 1 forced fumble.

Tae Davis will miss another game for Cleveland. Davis has only recorded 1 tackle this season, coming in the season opening loss to Baltimore. Most of Davis’ time is on special teams with 39 total snaps while his snap count on defense is only 11.

Browns: Williams, Clayborn, and Davis all out Sunday

The Cleveland Browns have listed cornerback Greedy Williams, defensive end Adrian Clayborn, and linebacker Tae Davis as out vs. Dallas.

The Cleveland Browns defense is going to be put to the test this Sunday when they take on the Dallas Cowboys. Cleveland will be without Greedy Williams, Adrian Clayborn, and Tae Davis as they are listed as out.

Greedy Williams is yet to appear in a game for the Browns this season, this comes after missing four games for a rookie. While there were some moments that Greedy looked like an NFL caliber corner, he was pretty inconsistent. Combine the inconsistency with the injury problems and that doesn’t necessarily bode well for his future.

This will be the first game missed for Adrian Clayborn this season. Clayborn has played less snaps in each subsequent game this season (32, 18, 16). The Browns do have some depth on their defensive line, but they would be better off with Clayborn being available to play.

Tae Davis has played 11 total snaps this season, 10 in Week 1 and just 1 in Week 2. The absence of Davis will not have a huge impact for the Browns on Sunday.

Browns to be without Vernon, Williams, and Phillips

The Cleveland Browns are going to be without Olivier Vernon, Greedy Williams, and Jacob Phillips when they take on Washington.

The Browns are going to be without three defenders and possibly a fourth on Sunday when they face the Washington Football Team. Greedy Williams, Olivier Vernon, and Jacob Phillips have been ruled out with Denzel Ward being questionable.

Based off the update from Wednesday this is not entirely surprising in regards to Vernon and Phillips. Williams is yet to play in a game this season so his absence is not necessarily all that shocking. The possibility of the Browns being without Ward would be a catastrophic blow to their pass defense. While they do have some capable backup caliber players, they are not starters. If the Browns are going to avoid being carved up yet again they are going to need Denzel Ward to play.

Defensive help could be coming for Browns

The Cleveland Browns could be getting some help on the defensive side of the ball when they take the field again in Week 3.

The defense of the Cleveland Browns has not been stellar through their first two games, missing several key players has played a significant factor in the lackluster performance of the defense. Luckily some help on that side of the ball could be coming according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.

The Browns could see the returns of Greedy Williams, Kevin Johnson, and Mack Wilson relatively soon. There is a possibility that they could return to practice this week and perhaps even play when they face the Washington Football Team in Week 3. What has been seen from the defense through two weeks has not necessarily provided a lot of hope, however returns of three key players could provide a little bump to a group that desperately needs it.

Browns injury update for Wednesday

Things became a bit more clear in regards to who the Cleveland Browns will be without for Thursday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Cleveland Browns will be without four players and possibly more when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. The injury report was released today which revealed that Cleveland will be without Kevin Johnson, Greedy Williams, Mack Wilson, and Jacob Phillips. There are six others who might not play and are currently listed as questionable.

The questionable players include Jack Conklin, Chris Hubbard, JC Tretter, Olivier Vernon, Jarvis Landry, and Jedrick Wills Jr. Missing any of these players would be a huge issue for the Browns if any are not able to go. Cleveland will need all of their offensive lineman to be available in case one gets hurts. Vernon missing would make a thin defensive side of the ball even thinner and force the defense to rely on role players instead of a proven starter. Obviously missing Landry would hurt since he is the most consistent pass catcher on the team.

Joe Burrow could have a field day against this defense Thursday night. Burrow looked capable in his debut against a superior Chargers defense. Now that the jitters from Game 1 are gone, Game 2 should prove to be a more comfortable setting for the rookie quarterback. Cincinnati’s defense is missing some players of their own, but it is not about the quality of the defense that should be Cleveland’s concern. It is whether or not their offense can not look like hot garbage again and show any signs of consistency. This falls on the players on the field and the coaching staff. Week 1 did not necessarily inspire any hope in this area, although they were facing an elite Ravens defense. The Browns have a lot of work to do if they are going to look better in Week 2.

Browns to be without multiple defenders Sunday

The Cleveland Browns will be missing three starting defenders and possibly a fourth for Week 1’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

Week 1 was going to be tough for the Cleveland Browns if everyone was healthy. Well, everyone is not healthy as they will be without three key defensive players and possibly a fourth on Sunday.

Kevin Johnson and Greedy Williams are both out and that will put pressure on the Browns defense. Johnson’s absence was expected since he is still working his way back after suffering a lacerated kidney in training camp. Williams was someone who was up in the air all week, but now his status is known and he will be out. MJ Stewart is listed as questionable and if he were to be absent that could result in an absolute field day for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens receivers. Cleveland’s secondary was not going to be that much of an asset with these players in the lineup and without them that unit becomes even more of a liability.

Mack Wilson is also out and that was expected. Wilson playing at al this season was in doubt just a little while ago, but it appears that he will play at some point this season, just not in Week 1.

JC Tretter is listed as questionable and his status for the first two games in the season was up in the air. If Tretter can somehow go on Sunday that would help a Browns offense that needs everyone they can get to try and move the ball against the Ravens defense.

Chris Hubbard will also miss Week 1. While Hubbard is not a starter, Cleveland could find themselves in a bad place if one of their lineman gets hurt or is not performing at an acceptable level.

Browns secondary gets some help

The Cleveland Browns are getting some help in their secondary. Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams are expected to return this week.

This is great news for the Cleveland Browns. Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams are practicing and are expected to return this week.

It is worth noting that just how much they play is still undetermined.

Evan a little bit of Ward and Williams will go a long way for the Browns secondary. Cleveland got as much as they could out of T.J. Carrie, Terrance Mitchell and others. The Browns are currently allowing the sixth-fewest passing yards per game. Part of that is that they are also allowing the third-most rushing yards per game. The lack of passing yards allowed is 100% related to the amount of rushing yards they allow.

Cleveland has allowed the eighth-highest quarterback rating this season (102.6). The Browns defense has essentially managed without their two best cornerbacks with their zone scheme. Steve Wilks has been able to work around the absences of Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams. Adding them back into the fold should only help Cleveland’s secondary.

Even with Ward and Williams back the secondary, they may still struggle. They are facing Tom Brady and the Patriots after all. This is more of a long-term outlook than an instant boost. Part of that is that Damarious Randall has a leg injury.

If Randall is not able to play it will hurt. Randall is an excellent safety even though he has not played his best this season. There is still the possibility that Randall could suit up on Sunday, as he has not been ruled out yet.

At some point the Browns will have their full compliment of secondary players on the field. It may not happen this week, but it certainly appears to be something that happens sooner rather than later.

Browns bolster defense on Day 2

The Cleveland Browns got some help for the defense on Day 2 of the NFL Draft by selecting cornerback Greedy Williams and linebacker Sione Takitaki.

John Dorsey getting help for the Cleveland Browns defense was inevitable. Especially considering the type of talent still available in rounds two and three. Adding reinforcements to the secondary and linebacking corps was crucial to improve the team.

Cleveland moved up from pick 49 to pick 46 to select cornerback Greedy Williams out of LSU. Williams was considering one of the best defensive backs available in this draft, but slipped a bit due to some concerns about his tackling ability. On the other hand Williams is considered the best cover corner available and that is what really matters. In the press conference following the pick John Dorsey echoed that same sentiment.

Pairing Greedy Williams with Denzel Ward will form a great tandem in the Browns secondary. The type of tandem that the Browns have been seeking for years now.

The Browns stood pat in the third round and selected linebacker Sione Takitaki out of Brigham Young University with the 80th overall pick. Takitaki will bring physicality and a ton of energy to the Cleveland defense. While some feel that this was an overdraft, it is important to remember that not every draft board looks the same. Some players are higher on certain draft boards than they are others. There have been some comparisons to Bobby Wagner in regards to playing style. If Takitaki is anything remotely close to Wagner this is a great draft pick.

Cleveland should be able to build upon their draft picks on Day 3. John Dorsey should do some more wheeling and dealing as the team has more draft picks than spots on the roster. There are only so many rookies a team can have and some more moves to select higher quality players could be in order on Day 3.
