Cleveland Browns have a tough test ahead of them in Denver Broncos. Yes, for a team as good as the Browns, facing the Broncos might be the toughest thing they do all season. After all, their squad’s injury list resembles a shopping list for a wedding with 3000 guests. They are in trouble, and it seems like it’ll stick for a long time.
Cleveland Browns’ injury woes

Quarterback Baker Mayfield is out of action after he completely destroyed his shoulder over the last few weeks. He repeatedly ignored his troubled shoulder until a torn labrum ruled him out for a significant period. Stepping into his shoes is journeyman quarterback Case Keenum, who will look to impress against the Broncos.
The Browns will also miss their star running backs, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. This means the Browns are heading into battle with their two best ball carriers on the sidelines. If this doesn’t spell out trouble, I guess the injuries to Odell Beckham Jr. would make a Browns fan swallow their tongue.
So basically the offense. We’re playing without the offense. It’s fine. Everything is fine. https://t.co/Hjec19uvsC

Will the Browns fall to 3-4 in week seven?
With all due respect to Denver Broncos, they simply lack the star power to make them a Super Bowl contender. Cleveland Browns, on the other hand, resembles a Super Bowl winning side. They have a brilliant offensive line; they lead the league in rushing yard and they have a loyal fanbase.
These are the key ingredients to a successful side, but it doesn’t look like they have any gas in the tank. Injuries have rampaged this squad, and the Broncos fixture could resemble a bloodbath. Unless, Case Keenum actually puts on an MVP worthy performance and rescues some points for the Browns.
Until then, keep your eyes peeled as week seven kicks off with Thursday Night Football. A beaten and bruised Cleveland Browns takes on Denver Broncos in one of the most intriguing fixtures of the week.
The #Browns have 37% of the active roster listed on today's estimated injury report.

I’ll stand alone on this hill since I fully believe Baker Mayfield’s play the last few games is a direct result of the injury. I’m really f*cking bummed for him. #Browns
