Browns vs. Lions injury report and starting lineup - November 21 | NFL Week 11

The Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions will both be playing with extra motivation in their Week 11 clash.

The Browns are 5-5 and fighting for their playoff lives in the hotly contested AFC and AFC North divisions. They were humiliated by Bill Belichick's New England Patriots last week and will look to bounce back. After all, the week before, they looked unstoppable in a demolition of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Luckily for the Browns, their injury luck has turned around. They spent the first half of the season as one of the most injured teams in the NFL. Outside of Troy Hill, A.J. Green, and Anthony Schwartz, they're relatively healthy entering Week 11.

The Lions, meanwhile, are still searching for their first taste of victory of the 2021 season. They're 0-8-1 and will be playing hard to avenge being unable to capitalize on Mason Rudolph's Pittsburgh Steelers last week.

Unfortunately for Dan Campbell's squad, they're going to have to rely on backup quarterback Tim Boyle. Jared Goff suffered an oblique injury last week and is doubtful to play this week after pushing through the pain against the Steelers.

The Lions will also be without a key defender in Trey Flowers. But in 2021, no struggling team is incapable of beating a good team.
