Browns face injuries ahead of Texans matchup, McNeil-Warren and Jeudy expected to step up
Summary

Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston is questionable and safety Ronnie Hickman is out for the Nov. 15 game against the Texans. Boston's toe injury creates an opportunity for Jerry Jeudy to see more playing time. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren will fill Hickman’s spot due to his concussion. McNeil-Warren has played in all nine games this season, contributing 41% of the defensive snaps. He aims to communicate effectively with the secondary, especially as they face a strong Texans passing offense. Jeudy has been a key player in critical scoring drives throughout the season.
