Browns vs Cardinals: Injury report and starting lineup - October 17 | NFL 2021-22 Season

The Cleveland Browns are coming off a heartbreaking loss in a game in which they scored 42 points. At 3-2 and one game behind the Baltimore Ravens, the Browns need to take care of business against a 5-0 Cardinals team that is the last undefeated team in the NFL.

The Cardinals join the Raiders in playing on Sunday without their head coach for the first time this season. Kliff Kingsbury will not be on the sidelines due to catching Covid-19. In his place will be ex-Broncos head coach Vance Joseph, who will be acting as a head coach for the first time since 2018. As the coaches have been discussed, how are the players of both teams feeling as Sunday draws near?
