The Jacksonville Jaguars must keep these two Browns players in check.

Sheldon Richardson was for a while one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL. Originally drafted by the New York Jets in 2014, the Missouri standout, along with Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison and Muhammad Wilkerson, formed a formidable front for the ‘Gang Green’.

Although Richardson’s career has become somewhat nomadic in the last few years, he’s still a very efficient player that can cause disruption at the line of scrimmage. This season, he has recorded 24 solo tackles, 18 assists, 3.5 sacks, and two passes defensed. Jaguars guard Andrew Norwell is listed as questionable with a forearm injury, so Richardson could have an edge on Sunday.

. . . Ronnie Harrison, safety. 3. player. 52

It was kind of surprising to see the Jaguars trade safety Ronnie Harrison to the Brown a few days before the 2020 season started. After all, the Alabama standout was a solid player for this Jacksonville team in 2019 and registered 71 total tackles, nine pass deflections at two sacks, and has been as productive in Cleveland this season.

In nine games this year, he has amassed 31 total tackles, six passes defensed, one sack, and one interception. Although he suffered a knee contusion against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, he’s poised to play Sunday.
