San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo might be licking his chops heading into Monday night's matchup at Levi's Stadium. The Cleveland Browns are expected to be without their two starting cornerbacks, Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams, according to Cleveland.com.


The news probably isn't a big surprise to anyone. Both players, who are dealing with hamstring injuries, were listed as questionable on the Browns' official injury report issued on Saturday and, as Mary Kay Cabot notes, have missed the last two games for Cleveland. Neither practiced this week.


Ward and Williams traveled with the team to Santa Clara, according to Pro Football Talk.

The 49ers offense ranks No. 2 in the league in points scored and rushing yards, and No. 4 in total yards, but No. 16 in passing yards, averaging 246 yards per game. Garoppolo has completed 69 percent of his passes, a significant increase over last season's 59.6 percent, for 739 cards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.
