Raiders star added to injury report before Browns game

The Cleveland Browns will look to improve to 2-2 this weekend when they travel west to take on the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Browns have a lot of problems to solve, but so do the Raiders, and like the Browns, the Raiders are 1-2, which makes this Sunday's game look extremely winnable.

Once the game begins, Cleveland might have things a little easier as Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, according to Scott Petrak CT.

Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler, has 18 catches for 209 yards and a touchdown so far this season.

It's largely thanks to him that the Raiders' offense ranks fourth in passing yards so far this season, but if he can't play, Cleveland's chances of winning would increase significantly.

Although Cleveland had some defensive issues earlier this season, their pass defense hasn't been that bad – they rank 15th in passing yards allowed and ninth in passing touchdowns given up.

On the other hand, Myles Garrett, their star pass rusher and the NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year, isn't fully healthy.

He is dealing with pain in his feet and also has hamstring and Achilles tendon injuries. Although he plans to play through the pain, he acknowledged he will likely need surgery this offseason.

Through the first three games this year, Garrett has 2.0 sacks, six tackles, five quarterback hits and two forced fumbles.
