4 major Cleveland Browns injuries that will help the Chicago Bears in week 15
1. The Chicago Bears offensive line gets a huge help against the Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns lost Maurice Hurst, which will hurt their run defense. They also lost Ogbo Okoronkwo, which will harm their pass rush. When you look at the Browns leaders in pressure, it is Myles Garrett at 58, Za’Darius Smith at 42, and the Okoronkwo with 33. Dalvin Tomlinson has 28, and then Hurst has 18, so they are losing a lot of beef upfront in their pass rush.
They have pretty much stuck to a three-man rotation on the edges, with Alex Wright getting splashed in here and there. Without Okoronkwo, the Browns will either have to ramp up the snaps of Garrett and Smith, which could be tough this time of the year. Or, they will need a lot more from Alex Wright, who has 12 pressures this year.

This is huge for the Bears. It is one thing when Garrett and Smith come at you all game. It is crushing when you do not have a breather when they leave the field. Getting a lesser third rusher gives someone a little less work because Garrett and Smith cannot rush full-go every snap.
The Bears need to make the most of the snaps when Wright is on the field to beat the Cleveland Browns.
