Time: 4:25 p.m. Eastern.

Location: FirstEnergy Stadium.

In many ways, Sunday’s matchup could be defined by who’s not on the field rather than who’s on it. While Indianapolis lays claim to one of the best defenses in the league, it appears that star linebacker Darius Leonard will miss Sunday’s contest, with the status of linebacker Anthony Walker and offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo also in question.

Meanwhile, the Browns will be without defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi and cornerback Greedy Williams, while safety Karl Joseph was also a late addition to the team’s injury chart. Star running back Nick Chubb will also be sidelined on Sunday as he continues to recover from an MCL injury suffered last week.Nevertheless, between Odell Beckham Jr., Myles Garrett, Kareem Hunt, DeForest Buckner, T.Y. Hilton and Phillip Rivers there will still be plenty of star power at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday. And who advances to 4-1 on the season could very well come down to whose stars shine brighter.
