The Ravens lost two defensive linemen to injuries in the first half in Cleveland.
Defensive end Brent Urban is out for the game with a concussion and nose tackle Michael Pierce was ruled out with a calf injury.
That left the Ravens with just three defensive linemen – Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones, and Broderick Washington – available versus a tough Browns running game led by running back Nick Chubb. Jones (ankle) and Washington (knee) both dealt with injuries this week.
Cleveland ran 12 times for 54 yards in the first half, including 39 by Chubb.
The Ravens were already a little shorthanded in the front seven as outside linebackers David Ojabo and Adisa Isaac were healthy scratches.
