Browns running back Jerome Ford out 2nd straight week

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns ruled out running back Jerome Ford for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens because of a hamstring injury.

Ford, who led Cleveland in rushing while Nick Chubb was sidelined for the first six games of the season, will miss his second straight game.

The Browns also listed right guard Wyatt Teller as questionable to play. Teller missed the last four games on injured reserve because of a knee sprain but returned to practice this week.

Meanwhile, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said running back Nyheim Hines was not activated off the non-football injury list and will be out the remainder of the season because his rehab from knee surgery didn't progress as the team hoped.

Hines tore his ACL during a jet ski accident in July 2023.

At quarterback, Dorian Thompson-Robinson will back up Jameis Winston despite injuring the middle finger on his throwing hand in last Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Bailey Zappe, who was signed off the Chiefs' practice squad, will be the emergency QB.

Cleveland also ruled out left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr., linebacker Jordan Hicks and safety Ronnie Hickman.
