BALTIMORE
The Cleveland Browns are set to take on the Baltimore Ravens under prime time lights and while they'll have two of their key offensive players back from injury, they'll also head into the game without one of the Browns fan favorites.
Wide receiver Rashard Higgins was listed as an inactive for Sunday night's game. He was not on the injury report headed into the matchup. Sources confirmed Higgins was a healthy scratch Sunday night.
This season, Higgins has been targeted 31 times and has notched 15 receptions for 185 yards and a touchdown.
Here are the Browns inactives for Sunday's game against the Ravens:
- WR Anthony Schwartz
- FB Andy Janovich
- S Richard LeCounte III
- DE Ifeadi Odenigbo
- T James Hudson III
- WR Rashard Higgins
- DT Tommy Togiai
Troy Hill and Donovan Peoples-Jones were both listed on the injury report as questionable to play, but as the team hoped, both were cleared for Sunday night's game. Hill is returning from a neck sprain sustained in the game against the New England Patriots that saw him admitted to a hospital for further evaluation. Peoples-Jones has been working through a groin injury he re-aggravated at practice ahead of the game against the Detroit Lions.
Schwartz was ruled out on Friday as he remains in concussion protocol. He sustained the concussion against the Patriots and has been sidelined since.
Janovich, like Higgins, is a surprise inactive headed into Sunday's game.
Running back Kareem Hunt and right tackle Jack Conklin return to game action Sunday after being activated from the injured reserve list on Saturday. Hunt missed five games with a calf injury and Conklin missed three games with an elbow injury.
