Browns HC Kevin Stefanski 'hopeful' RB Kareem Hunt, OL Jack Conklin will play Week 12 vs. Ravens

The Cleveland Browns have alternated wins and losses over their last six games and at 6-5 overall remain very much in the thick of a crowded AFC playoff chase. They've had to deal with an exorbitant amount of injuries and COVID-19 issues to key players like running back Nick Chubb, the dramatic departure of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and, most recently, some controversy surrounding quarterback Baker Mayfield.

With a huge "Sunday Night Football" matchup looming against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12, Cleveland is looking for some more consistency and help on offense, and there's a chance the Browns could get it this week.

Conklin hasn't played since the team's Week 8 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to an elbow injury. When active, the two-time First-Team All-Pro helps the already-potent Cleveland rushing attack become that much more lethal.

Hunt has missed the Browns' last five games with a calf injury. Through six games played this season, the 26-year-old ranks second to Chubb on the team in rushing attempts (69), rushing yards (361) and rushing touchdowns (five).
