Animated: Maurice Jones-Drew Mimmicks LeBron, Mocks Browns Fans

The Jaguars scored the first points of the game early in the second quarter on a six-yard touchdown run by Maurice Jones-Drew. The 18-play, 92-yard drive lasted nearly 10 minutes and featured four third-down conversions for the Jaguars. It is the team's longest drive of the season.

After the touchdown, Jones-Drew mocked the Browns fans by doing a LeBron James chalk throw celebration. How cute.

Cleveland Browns Injury Report and Inactive List, Week 11: Peyton Hillis, T.J. Ward Remain Out For Browns

The Cleveland Browns offense will again be without running back Peyton Hillis when they face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Cleveland. Hillis has been ruled out for the fifth straight game with a nagging hamstring injury.

Chris Ogbonnaya will start at running back for Cleveland with Montario Hardesty also on the shelf again this week. Ogbonnaya will try to build on the production he put up last week against St. Louis when he rushed for 90 yards on 19 carries.

The Browns offense should also get a boost with wide receiver Mohammed Massaquoi returning to the lineup as a target for quarterback Colt McCoy.

On the defensive side, safety T.J. Ward will be out again, replaced in the starting lineup by Usama Young. Here is the inactive list released by the Browns.

#Browns inactives vs. Jaguars: QB T. Lewis, RB M. Hardesty and P. Hillis, DB T. Ward, OL S. Vallos and O. Cousins and TE J. Cameron.

Jacksonville Jaguars Injury Report And Inactive List, Week 11: Robiskie Remains Out For Jaguars Against Browns

The Jacksonville Jaguars try to win two games in a row for the first time this season when they visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. After beating the Indianapolis Colts last week, the Jags appear to remain healthy with their key offensive weapons ready to go this week against the Browns. Former Ohio State receiver Brian Robiskie remains sidelined for Jacksonville, having only played two games this season.

Jacksonville released their inactive list for week 11 which includes the following players.

Jaguars inactives: WR Brian Robiskie, RB Brock Bolen, C John Estes, DE Aaron Kampman, PR/WR Cecil Shorts III, TE Fendi Onobun, DT Terrance Knighton

The Browns have been struggling on offense while missing some key players to injury, including running back Peyton Hillis who will again be out for the Browns on Sunday when they face the Jaguars. This gives quarterback Blaine Gabbert and the Jacksonville offense a chance to build on the win last week. Running back Maurice Jones-Drew will need to do his thing on the ground to make things easier for the young quarterback.

Colt McCoy Fantasy Projection: Jaguars Pass Defense Says Stay Away

Colt McCoy has had four straight underwhelming fantasy totals, and Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars is probably not the game he will be able to rebound and put up an adequate total similar to his first five games.

The Jaguars are currently fifth in passing yards against (189 yards per game) and fourth overall in total passing yards allowed (1,704 passing yards). In standard fantasy formats, the Jaguars defense allows opposing quarterbacks almost three fantasy points less than the average defense. Last week, the Jaguars held the Colts' passing attack virtually scoreless. 

Of course, Colt McCoy could surprise, but the fantasy experts are not expecting it. According to Numberfire.com, McCoy will pass for less than what the Jaguars average giving up per game (171 yards) and just over one touchdown. Over the last month, McCoy has thrown just two touchdowns and has turned the ball over eight times, and that trend is projected to continue on Sunday vs. the Jaguars. 

Stay away from McCoy unless you have no other options.

Jaguars Vs. Browns: Time, TV Schedule, Radio Streaming And More

The Cleveland Browns are coming off a bad loss to the St. Louis Rams and are facing the last of their perceived "easy" games for the next few weeks. The AFC North is perhaps the most competitive division in football, and the Browns could ill-afford to lose against a team like St. Louis. Now, when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, they really need a win to keep up with Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. It's going to be a tall order though, with Peyton Hillis still injured.

Jacksonville is coming off a win, though it's over the hapless, winless Indianapolis Colts. You can only beat who is front of you, and at the very least, it will help them in the standing. The 17-3 win was calm, slow, and dominating. Exactly what they were looking for.

Game Date/Time: Sunday, Nov. 20, 1:00 p.m. ET

Location: Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, OH

TV Schedule: CBS

TV Announcers: Bill Macatee, Steve Tasker

Radio: WMMS/WTAM-100.7

Benjamin Watson Fantasy Projection: Watson May Actually Benefit Vs. Strong Pass Defense

The second-favorite option in the Cleveland Browns' wide receiving corps, Benjamin Watson hasn't put up a double-digit fantasy game in over a month, the last time he scored a touchdown (Week 4). That could change on Sunday vs. the Jaguars.

The Jaguars are currently fifth in passing yards against (189 yards per game) and fourth overall in total passing yards allowed (1,704 passing yards). In standard fantasy formats, the Jaguars defense allows opposing quarterbacks almost three fantasy points less than the average defense. Last week, the Jaguars held the Colts' passing attack virtually scoreless. 

However, the Jaguars will likely pay most attention to the Browns' number one target, rookie Greg Little, which could mean that Watson reaps the benefits. While Numberfire.com doesn't think that will happen, only projecting him to have about 35 receiving yards and less than half a touchdown, keep in mind that the Jags defense allows tight ends to score more than four points above average defenses.

Benching Watson is probably the safest play, depending on who your other tight ends are, but Watson could be the lone surprise for a depleted Cleveland offense going up against a very strong pass defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars Injury Report, Week 11: Terrance Knighton Officially Out

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven't been the most consistent team in the NFL this season, but they got a bit of a boost from the injury report this week. The Jaguars will be missing just one starter, defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, when they visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Knighton planned to be out with his ankle injury since Thursday.

Knighton hasn't made much of an impact on the box score this season, but his depth will be missed as C.J. Mosley moves into the starting lineup:

Jaguars' defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, who missed the first game of his career in Indianapolis last week, is likely to miss his second game Sunday in Cleveland.

"You've got to be smart about it," Knighton said of the need to let the deep bone bruise in his ankle heal.

The remainder of the Jaguars injury report is embedded below.

Mohamed Massaquoi Injury Update: Browns WR Optimistic He Can Play Sunday

The injury news is getting a little bit better for the Cleveland Browns, as wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi continues to near his return from a concussion. Massaquoi missed significant time before returning against the Houston Texans two weeks ago, but left in the second half with more concussion-like symptoms (which essentially means "concussion"). He went on to miss the game against the St. Louis Rams last week to be safe.

On Wednesday, Massaquoi was limited in practice, and the same goes for Thursday. Mary Kay Cabot reported on Twitter that Massaquoi was likely to play, and then had a quote from Massaquoi, attesting to the wide receiver's optimism about his chances to be active against the Jaguars.

#browns wr Mohamed massaquoi (concussion) is "real optimistic" he can play Sunday.    

The wide receiver also suffered a concussion last season. After trying to play once, he'll likely be very cautious on Sunday, but it looks like he's already passed all the tests he needs to. Josh Cribbs has been playing in his place when he's been out.

Montario Hardesty Injury Update: Browns RB Will Be A Game-Time Decision

With Peyton Hillis already declared out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Cleveland Browns severely need some help at the running back position. Chis Ogbonnaya and Thomas Clayton have been serviceable, but unable to get the job done and support Colt McCoy, who has shown over the last few weeks that he just can't carry the game on his own. Cleveland boasts a strong pass defense, but no offense to back it up.

That might change, at least a little bit this week, as there is hope that Montario Hardesty can play. Mary Kay Cabotreported on Twitter that Hardesty, Hillis' backup who was hurt in a game against the San Francisco 49ers, was pegged as a game-time decision by Browns head coach Pat Shurmur. 

Hardesty tested his calf on Thursday in a supervised workout, but did not practice with the team. Hardesty expressed his desire to play, but with Hillis re-injuring himself, they're being careful with the muscle tear.

Jacksonville Jaguars Injury Report, Week 11: Terrance Knighton Likely Out Vs. Browns

The Jacksonville Jaguars were able to return the majority of their players to practice on Thursday, at least on a limited basis, as they get set to face the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately for the visiting Jaguars, however, starting defensive tackle Terrance Knighton was not one of those players.

Knighton hasn't made much of an impact on the box score this season, but his depth will be missed as C.J. Mosley moves into the starting lineup.

Jaguars' defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, who missed the first game of his career in Indianapolis last week, is likely to miss his second game Sunday in Cleveland.

"You've got to be smart about it," Knighton said of the need to let the deep bone bruise in his ankle heal.

Browns Vs. Jaguars Injury Update: Mohamed Massaquoi Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi missed last week's game against the St. Louis Rams after originally suffering a concussion on Oct. 23 in a win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he returned to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday.

“I’m feeling good,” Massaquoi said. “Whenever you talk about concussions and the head, yes (you’re concerned) just because you only have one brain, but we have great doctors. I feel good right now. I’m not really concerned about it right now because we did our due-diligence just to make sure we took care of everything and we’ll go on from there.”

Massaquoi, who also suffered a concussion last season, was symptom-free entering last week's game against the Rams but was removed in the second half when symptoms returned.

On the season, Massaquoi has a career-high 624 receiving yards and three touchdown catches, but Cleveland has fought injuries all season and their 131 points ranks tied for second fewest in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts.

Cleveland Browns Injury Update: Montario Hardesty Works Out, Tests Calf

Cleveland Browns running back Montario Hardesty did not participate in practice with teammates indoors on Wednesday, but he did test his injured calf during a supervised outdoor workout, as reported by Tom Withers of the AP. 

"I want to play, but right now we’re still working to get there," he said. "So we’re just gonna keep on progressing. I’ve been running, just keep on progressing and see how I feel."

Hardesty has missed two straight games after tearing a muscle in his right calf in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 30, as the Browns have been hit hard at running back with both Hardesty and Peyton Hillis missing time with injuries.

But while Hillis has already been ruled out for this week, Coach Pat Shurmur expects Hardesty to practice this week and hopes he can play on Sunday when the Browns take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jacksonville Jaguars Injury Report, Week 11: Defensive Linemen Hurting

The Jacksonville Jaguars are relatively healthy heading into their Week 11 match-up with the Cleveland Browns, but Maurice Jones-Drew's team looks to be a bit shorthanded on the defensive side of the football. The Jaguars first injury report of the week showed three defensive lineman out with injury.

Starting defensive tackle Terrance Knighton missed practice as he continues to deal with an ankle injury a couple of weeks ago while defensive ends Aaron Kampmann and John Chick were also out due to injury. A fourth defensive lineman, Tyson Alualu, was absent as well - though he was not out due to injury.

The Jaguars entire injury report is included below.

Of note, Greg Jones reportedly was at a memorial service for boxing great Joe Frazier, a distant cousin.

Peyton Hillis Injury Update: Browns RB Ruled Out Against Jaguars, T.J. Ward Also Out

The Cleveland Browns will be without their star running back once again on Sunday, when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. According to Mary Kay Cabot, Browns' Head Coach Pat Shurmur said on Monday that Peyton Hillis would be out with his lingering hamstring injury. Hillis has missed several games, and at one point, seemed close to returning, taking some time in practice to work a little and see how it held up. Eventually, before the game against the Texans two weeks ago, Hillis had his hamstring tighten up and he was immediately declared out.

At the beginning of last week, Hillis was declared out before any other injury report information was given. This week, he's out again, several days early, so the injury is looking worse. It is possible that Hillis is nearing the time where he can return, but after two separate occasions in which Hillis re-injured the hamstring, the team could be playing it very safe.

Also of note is the fact that safety T.J. Ward will be out on Sunday with a foot injury. Ward is set to have his cast changed on Monday and will get another X-ray before the team decides what to do with him, though Shurmur did say that there are no plans to place either him or Hillis on injured reserve and he hopes they'll both be back this season.
