TE Jordan Cameron and RB Isaiah Crowell officially active. LB Karlos Dansby and RB Glenn Winston among notable inactives.
— Andrew Gribble (@Andrew_Gribble) December 7, 2014 Crowell is dealing with a hip injury that forced him out of practice on Wednesday and made him a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. Crowell sustained the hip injury in Cleveland's Week 13 game against the Buffalo Bills, where he picked up a paltry 29 yards off of 17 carries.
That's a per-carry average of just 1.7 yards. It was Crowell's worst game of the season, coming after he managed to put up 88 yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: Crowell won’t have much competition on Sunday. Terrance West is more or less in the doghouse after coughing up a fumble in Buffalo that put a nail in the coffin for the week. That said, Crowell’s struggles are a concern. He’s a low-end RB2 play as the Browns will hope to establish the run and control the clock - a game plan that has helped some teams against the Indianapolis Colts.
