The Browns have a deep roster and that's why they're one of the favorites in the AFC, but boy, do they have problems. Only two depth players are confirmed as out as of now, but some stars of the team, like Odell Beckham Jr., JC Tretter and Jadeveon Clowney, are all questionable and are facing the possibility of missing a crucial game to start the season.

It remains to be seen what's going to happen with the Browns when they fly to Kansas City, but it's not looking pretty right now.

Kansas City Chiefs

The same can't be said about the Chiefs, who are going to start the season extremely healthy and will miss only Austin Blythe, a backup guard, for the contest.

Frank Clark and Derrick Nnadi were uncertain during the week, but all signs point to them playing Sunday after not missing practice over the last days.
