Both the Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos are dealing with injuries entering their Thursday Night Football matchup but, it's far more worse on one side.
The Browns will already be without Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. They are decimated up front on the offensive line as well. However, there is some help coming to the rescue. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, star wide receiver Jarvis Landry is coming off of injured reserve and is good to go for Thursday night.
The #Browns have activated WR Jarvis Landry to the active roster and he’ll play today. He was dealing with an MCL sprain.

It should be a nice boost for an offense that will now have Case Keenum playing quarterback for an injured Mayfield. The Browns really need this game. After starting 3-1, Cleveland has lost two straight and sit at .500 and now won't have many of their key offensive pieces against the Broncos.
The road ahead playing in the AFC North won't get any easier for the Browns. The bit of good news they did receive is that while Mayfield's torn labrum will require surgery at the end of the year, he is expected to come back at some point relatively soon and be able to play through the pain. At least that's the hope.
If the Browns can pull of a win over Denver with their backup quarterback, running backs and a makeshift offensive line, they'll be able to step back and take some sort of deep breath.
