Browns CB Greg Newsome was Looking Forward to Matching up With Bengals Ja’Marr Chase

Cleveland Browns second-year cornerback Greg Newsome is disappointed he won’t get a matchup he was looking forward to on Sunday. Newsome is feeling “pissed”, he told the media on Friday when he found out about Ja’Marr Chase’s injury that will keep him sidelined.

Newsome likely feels this way from an incident back in the summer, where Chase kind of singled out Newsome that he was not elite on a podcast appearance. Chase claimed that it was “on sight” when the two teams faced off, but now he will not be playing.

Newsome will now draw a matchup with either Tee Higgins or Tyler Boyd, perhaps it will be Martin Emerson Jr.‘s length with Higgins. Chase and Newsome will get their feature matchups.

In the last full game chase played against the Browns, Denzel Ward got the best of him, including a long interception return for a touchdown. Ward remains in concussion protocol at this time.
