As the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens get set to face off for first place in the division, each team has announced the following players will be inactive for today's contest.

Browns

As expected, the players that didn't practice on Friday will be out for this game, which means the Browns will still be without three starters in the secondary with Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams dealing with hamstring issues and Morgan Burnett's quad injury.

The Browns did get Damarious Randall back this week, which is good news, but the Browns will need the depth at their secondary to step up and play again, hopefully getting similar results as they did last week in a gritty performance against the Los Angeles Rams.

The team's handling of Genard Avery is puzzling at best and malpractice at worst.

Ravens

Jimmy Smith will be out for his third game in a row and Marlon Humphrey is playing, but he's dealing with an injury the team hope won't get worse, meaning the Ravens, like the Browns are dealing with issues with their corners.

Brandon Williams being out is a big loss because he's a quality defensive tackle and because the Ravens rotation behind him is limited in terms of bodies. Daylon Mack will likely get the lion's share of the reps in place of him.
