3 Browns who have disappointed so far and need to step up in Week 3

The Cleveland Browns face the Carolina Panthers in their Week 3 home opener, with a win potentially being crucial heading into the "Rock & Roll" matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Panthers defense has suffered from injuries, which could benefit Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. However, the run game led by Quinshon Judkins needs improvement, as he has been mostly disappointing with only 54 yards rushing in two games and a poor 2.3 yards per attempt.

The offensive line has also been struggling with run blocking. Additionally, Tytus Howard has shown why the Texans traded him, with multiple penalties and sacks, indicating the Browns need more from him in Week 3. Lastly, Jared Verse needs to dominate and demonstrate versatility, as he has only made five tackles and two tackles for loss in two games, despite being a key piece of the Myles Garrett trade.

These three players appear to be the most crucial for the Cleveland Browns to step up in their Week 3 matchup.
