As the Cleveland Browns host the Buffalo Bills in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season, Browns fans get to see what a playoff-caliber NFL team looks like while rooting for 2026 NFL draft order positioning. Cleveland may
or may not be looking for new leadership, according to recent speculation, while also looking for the “Quarterback of the Future” if Shedeur Sanders doesn’t have a couple of breakthrough games.
That will be difficult against a versatile pass defense from the Bills.
Not having OT Jack Conklin (now on IR), TE David Njoku, and RB Dylan Sampson, along with OL Wyatt Teller and DT Mike Hall Jr. (added Saturday with illness) being questionable, won’t help Sanders either. Cleveland did not elevate or sign an offensive lineman on Saturday, a good sign that Teller will be able to play.
Now, with 90 minutes to go until gametime, both teams have submitted their inactive lists for Week 16’s matchup off the shores of Lake Erie.
Browns Inactive List
- CB Denzel Ward
- TE David Njoku
- RB Dylan Sampson
- DT Mike Hall Jr.
- OL Wyatt Teller
- WR Jamari Thrash
- DT Sam Kamara
Hall and Teller are inactive, another set of huge hits to the talent base for Cleveland.
Bills Inactive List
- DT Jordan Phillips
- K Matt Prater
- OT Chase Lundt
- WR Keon Coleman
- WR Gabe Davis
- S Darnell Savage
- DT Larry Ogunjobi
- OL Tylan Grable
Some big names on Buffalo’s list for today, including a former first-round pick (Coleman) and a former Browns starter (Ogunjobi).
