Denzel Ward of the Browns makes the final decision on whether or not to play against the Texans.
leveland Browns star Denzel Ward has every intention of being on the field on Saturday against the Houston Texans despite a knee injury.
Ward suffered the injury during Thursday’s practice ahead of the matchup. He’s been limited and listed as questionable for the matchup against the Texans. However, Ward is expected to play for the win-or-go-home game.
“Browns Denzel Ward is expected to face the Texans on Saturday despite injuring his knee in practice on Thursday,” Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot tweeted on Friday night. “He’s questionable but is set to play.”
Ward seemed to reinforce that sentiment with a social media post of his own. The 12-second video he posted wasn’t accompanied by any words but the message was clear. Ward will be running out of the tunnel with the Browns to begin what they hope is a lengthy postseason journey on Saturday.
Ward is one of the best cornerbacks in the league and was recently named to his third Pro Bowl. He appeared in 13 games during the regular season, notching 11 passes defensed and a pair of interceptions.
The Browns have had enough bad injury luck this season. So for Ward to avoid catastrophe before the biggest game of the year is a nice change of pace.
