CLEVELAND (WJW/AP) — Will the Browns finally get it right against Philadelphia Sunday?

Browns fans have been waiting for that all season. Cleveland could be without Denzel Ward for Sunday’s game; he is questionable with a hamstring injury.

The Browns won’t have safeties Grant Delpit and Ronnie Hickman; they are both out.

Mike Hall Jr. was activated for Sunday’s game.

Cleveland long snapper Charley Hughlett suffered a rib injury last week and was placed on injured reserve. He’ll have to miss at least four weeks, which means his consecutive games streak will end at 152.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Hughlett was accidentally hurt by a teammate. Hughlett is the second longest-tenured player on Cleveland’s roster behind left guard Joel Bitonio.

Myles Garrett knows how big of a role they can play in helping their quarterback Deshaun Watson and the offense.

“Not make his job so hard,” he said this week. “Put him in easier situations. Not just him; the offense. The pressure’s on everyone to perform. He might feel it a big more because he’s the highest-paid guy, and the media is going to be pointing the finger at him, and it should be pointed at every single one of us.”

BetMGM Sportsbook had the Eagles as 9 1/2-point favorites against the Browns. The Eagles have underperformed, but the first four teams they play coming out of the bye are even worse.

Cleveland, the New York Giants, Cincinnati and Jacksonville are a combined 5-15.

The Browns kick off at 1 p.m. on Fox 8.
