Joe Haden headlines Browns Week 4 inactives

With the Cleveland Browns in need of a victory on the road, they’ll have to go to battle without cornerback Joe Haden who will be in street clothes in San Diego. Listed on the injury report as probable heading into the weekend, it appears Haden’s rib injury—sustained in the Week 3 loss to the Oakland Raiders—did not progress as planned.

“I’m ready to go… We have to just go,” Haden said on Friday. “We have to go which means no excuses. We’re going to be out there. We’re out there so you have to be able to make plays. We have to be able to play to the top caliber that we put ourselves to. Everybody’s hurt, all over the league you have injuries. You’re never going to just go into the game completely healthy but we just know we have to fight. We have to do whatever we have to do to get this win.”

Pierre Desir is anticipated to start in Haden’s place across from Tramon Williams.

Joining Haden on the sidelines Sunday afternoon will be cornerback K’Waun Williams (concussion), running back Robert Turbin (ankle), linebackers Craig Robertson (ankle) and Scott Solomon (ankle), defensive end Desmond Bryant (shoulder), and tight end E.J. Bibbs. Safety Tashaun Gipson and running back Shaun Draughn were questionable heading into the weekend with a groin and back injury, respectively, but both have been cleared to play.
