In this story:


Key injuries have mounted for the Cleveland Browns as they prepare for Week Six showdown with the San Francisco 49ers. 

While all of Cleveland waits anxiously for each and every update on Deshaun Watson's injured shoulder, several other notable Browns players find themselves on the team's Week Six practice report with injuries.

That list of players includes guard Joel Bitonio, who was described as "day-to-day" with a knee injury. It's assumed that the veteran guard sustained the injury during the Week Four Loss to Baltimore, as he was seen at the team facility on crutches.

Meanwhile, tight end David Njoku is still healing from the burns he suffered on his face and hands just days before that matchup with the Ravens. It's remarkable the six-year veteran even played in that game to begin with. The former first-round pick posted a picture on Instagram Wednesday night, revealing his burns publicly for the first time. 

Pass rusher, Myles Garrett makes an appearance on this week's list after leaving the stadium in a walking boot in Week Four. Reporters who saw him Wednesday noted he was not in a boot. Amari Cooper is among the other veterans who find themselves on this week's injury/participation list. Follow along below to see how the list changes day-to-day.
