Among the things that have gone wrong in Cleveland this season have been a series of injuries to cornerback Joe Haden.
Haden has missed five games already this season and he’ll miss a sixth on Monday night against the Ravens. Haden suffered a concussion in Week Eight and has not been able to make progress through the league’s concussion protocol.
“There is a written test and computer test and that right now is the obstacle,” coach Mike Pettine said, via Cleveland.com.
Wide receivers Taylor Gabriel and Andrew Hawkins are also out because of concussions. Defensive lineman Randy Starks has been ruled out due to a knee injury. Guard Joel Bitonio and linebacker Nate Orchard are questionable with Orchard landing on the injury report for the first time on Saturday.
The Ravens have plenty of injury issues of their own and don’t expect to have the left side of their offensive line in Cleveland. Left tackle Eugene Monroe and left guard Kelechi Osemele are both doubtful to play on an offense that won’t have quarterback Joe Flacco or running back Justin Forsett after they suffered season-ending injuries last Sunday.
