Titans vs Browns Injury Report
Chubb’s departure with a season-ending knee injury was a crushing blow to the Browns. He’d gained over 1,000 yards on the ground in each of the past four seasons. Cleveland RCB Greg Newsome (elbow) is also out. WR Amari Cooper (groin/shoulder), LT Jedrick Wills Jr (shoulder), RDE Za’Darius Smith (ankle/thigh), MLB Anthony Walker Jr (pectoral) and SLB Sione Takitaki (shoulder) are all questionable for the Browns.
For the Titans, RB Derrick Henry (toe), WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle), LG Peter Skoronski (abdomen), NT Tear Tart (knee), RDE Denico Autry (foot), WLB Harold Landry III (hamstring) and S Amani Hooker (concussion) are all questionable.
Kareem Back In Hunt for Cleveland
Losing All-Pro Chubb, Cleveland is turning to a familiar face to try and help fill the void. Free agent RB Kareem Hunt was signed. Playing for the Browns from 2019-22, Hunt rushed for 16 touchdowns and also caught seven TD passes. He’ll be activated for Sunday’s game.

However, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is indicating that second-year RB Jerome Ford will remain Cleveland’s feature back. Ford gained 106 yards on 16 carries for a 6.6 yards per carry average in the Week 2 loss at Pittsburgh.
Titans Getting Healthy
Looking at the Tennessee injury list, it might give a Titans backer pause to shudder. Not to worry, though. Tennessee is actually getting healthier by the minute.

Both Hooker and CB Kristian Fulton are trending toward returning to their starting roles in the secondary. And the Titans pass rush should feast against Cleveland QB Deshaun Watson, notorious for hanging on to the ball too long while in the pocket.
Tennessee vs Cleveland Prediction
Minus Chubb, it’s going to be Watson who is going to be counted on to overcome the Titans, and relying on Deshaun so far isn’t providing Cleveland with many happy endings. He’s thrown for nine TDs against seven picks in eight games as QB1. The Browns offense gave up two TDs in their loss at Pittsburgh.
This is setting up to be just the type of game that Vrabel and the Titans traditionally steal during the course of an NFL season.
Titans vs Browns Picks: Titans +3.5 (-110)
