 The Cleveland Browns are now only two days away from hosting their AFC North rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals. They’re in good shape heading into this Week 14 matchup. However, Amari Cooper is the only player listed with a hip injury. Cooper suffered a hip injury during practice on Thursday and could not participate on Friday. The franchise listed him as questionable for the Week 14 game on the injured list.

As per SI, Browns’ Head Coach Kevin Stefanski stated the team would monitor the injury for the next two days. It would impact Cooper’s decision to play on Sunday. He is questionable to play this weekend. If the star WR missed out on the game against the Bengals, it would cost the Browns big time.
