The Cleveland Browns have struggled to a 3-10 record during the 2025 NFL season. They will attempt to get things back on track in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.
However, they are dealing with several key injuries. Here are some of the most notable names on their injury report this week.
Which Key Players Are on the Browns’ Injury Report for Week 15?
The Browns have lost five of their past six games, including each of their past two, entering a Week 15 game against the Bears.
Their official injury report includes several key players who may be unavailable for the contest.
1) David Njoku
David Njoku suffered a knee injury last week against the Tennessee Titans and was forced to leave the game early. He was unable to return, which puts his availability for Week 15 in jeopardy.
Harold Fannin Jr. would likely take on a larger role if Njoku is unavailable. He has already been having a breakout season, including ranking 14th among all tight ends in PFSN’s Impact Rankings for this year.
2) Wyatt Teller
Wyatt Teller missed the Browns’ game against the Titans last week with a calf injury. He is reportedly expected to be out again this week as he continues to recover.
The star offensive lineman has been selected for the Pro Bowl in three of the past four seasons, so his potential absence is significant.
3) Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson is reportedly expected to sit out practice on Wednesday due to calf and hand injuries. The Browns recently placed Jerome Ford on the injured reserve list with a shoulder injury.
So, if the rookie can play this week, he could see an increased workload behind Quinshon Judkins.
4) Denzel Ward
Denzel Ward was forced to leave last week’s game early when he suffered a calf injury. He was unable to return to the contest, so he is a name to keep a close eye on as Week 15 approaches.

He is one of their key players on defense, and his potential absence could be critical to their outlook against the Bears.
5) Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson recently had his practice window officially opened for the Browns as he continues to recover from a devastating Achilles injury from last year.
The franchise has already named Shedeur Sanders their starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Still, Watson could slide into a reserve role if he’s eventually elevated to the active roster.
