McGahee was signed shortly after the Browns traded Trent Richardson to the Colts for a first-round pick. The running back has appeared in four games this season and has rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown. If he is unable to play on Sunday, fullback Chris Ogbonnaya will likely start at running back. The Browns also have Bobby Rainey and Fozzy Whittaker on the roster.
The Browns are currently 3-3 and are tied for third in the AFC North. With McGahee possibly out of the lineup, the Browns may have quarterback Brandon Weeden pass quite a bit. The Packers are able to score in bunches, so that may have been the plan anyway.
The Browns will travel to Green Bay to face the Packers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
