Browns and Jets inactive reports: Amari Cooper, Allen Lizard, and Greg Zuerlein news

Amari Cooper’s participation in Week 17 could be critical to the Browns’ playoff chances.

To clinch a spot in the 2023 NFL playoffs, the Cleveland Browns will play a standalone game at home on Amazon Prime (and locally on WEWS). With a win, the Browns will clinch the top wild card spot and remain in contention for the AFC North title and #1 seed.

The New York Jets arrive in town just as the season’s hopes were dashed in Week 1 when Aaron Rodgers got hurt..

The biggest name in doubt was WR Amari Cooper, but both teams had questions at kicker on the final injury report, with Cleveland elevating both a punter and a kicker for tonight’s game.
