As the Cleveland Browns get set to kick off their final game of the season, they'll do so without a few key players as the team announced the inactives ahead of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Among the inactive players is running back Kareem Hunt.
Hunt was listed as questionable to play with an ankle injury, steadily ramping up his activity since after sustaining the injury during the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Hunt seemed excited to return during practice two weeks ago, but with playoff implications no longer a factor, Hunt was ruled out before the Steelers game last week and again this week.
Safety John Johnson III, tight end David Njoku and cornerback Greedy Williams were all listed as questionable to play Friday but on game day were listed as active. Running back D'Ernest Johnson was questionable to play Sunday with an illness, but after clearing COVID-19 protocol Sunday morning was listed as active.
For the Bengals, several starters will not play as the team prepares for the playoffs, including quarterback Joe Burrow.RELATED: How to watch the Browns take on the Bengals in the final game of the season
