CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Sunday afternoon presented roster challenges galore for the Browns and their coaching staff. They didn't have linebacker Christian Kirksey, one of the team's most durable players. They were also without defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah.

Oh, then there was that whole Josh Gordon thing. Gordon,

, was inactive Sunday after the Browns announced they were going to release him.

Sunday's game wasn't nearly as long as Week 1 against Pittsburgh. The offense played 62 snaps. The defense was on the field for 66. Here is a closer look at the Browns' snap counts from Sunday.

Myles Garrett played a lot again

Don't Edit

Head coach Hue Jackson laughed during the week at the idea of Garrett playing every snap this season. Any chance of that ended on Sunday, but Garrett still played 65 of 66 defensive snaps.

Larry Ogunjobi played 58 snaps (88 percent) against the Saints. He rewarded the Browns for it by collecting two sacks. He played 79 snaps (94 percent) against the Steelers, so it's clear which two defensive lineman will get the bulk of the work.

As for the recipients of Emmanuel Ogbah's playing time, Chris Smith played 38 snaps (58 percent), rookie Chad Thomas played 10 snaps and Anthony Zettel played nine snaps.

Change at nickel

Briean Boddy-Calhoun had his struggles against Pittsburgh playing nickel, especially against JuJu Smith-Schuster. Sunday, it appears T.J. Carrie got most of the work there.

Boddy-Calhoun managed just five defensive snaps a week after playing 62. It might have been fewer, too, had Damarious Randall not left the game briefly due to injury. Boddy-Calhoun is his backup at free safety.

He showed up on Monday's injury report with a hamstring, so maybe that had something to do with it, but there was still plenty for the versatile Boddy-Calhoun to do against New Orleans. He played 18 special teams snaps (67 percent) and made a great play early in the second quarter in punt coverage, bringing down Tommylee Lewis at the Saints' 19-yard line as soon as he caught the ball.

The running back snaps favored Carlos Hyde

Hyde averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, but his percentage of snaps increased on Sunday. He played 58 percent of the offensive snaps. His primary backup, Nick Chubb, played just three snaps, carrying the ball on two of them for 14 yards.

It's not the running that will hold Chubb back. He needs to get better in blitz pickup before the coaching staff will trust him with more playing time.

As for Duke Johnson, he played 37 percent of the offensive snaps a week after playing 46 percent against Pittsburgh. This offense would do well to find a way to get Johnson on the field more.

Only three wide receivers played on offense

Jarvis Landry played 59 snaps. Antonio Callaway played 50. Rashard Higgins played 46. That's it. No Damion Ratley or Derrick Willies in this one, at least not on offense. (Both played on special teams.)

It's a reminder that losing Gordon means the depth of this group is hurting a little behind that top three.

Derrick Kindred is playing more than Jabrill Peppers

Don't Edit

Through two games, Kindred has logged more defensive snaps than Peppers. This is more a point of interest than anything significant.

Peppers has played 47 percent of the defensive snaps this season. Kindred has played 69 percent.

The split was closer in New Orleans. Peppers was at 55 percent while Kindred was at 62 percent, a difference of five defensive snaps.

The Browns will likely play the matchup game with their two strong safeties. It should benefit both.

Austin Corbett took Earl Watford's snaps

Don't Edit

Granted, they're just extra lineman snaps, but it's better than having the No. 33 pick in the draft inactive. It's still not great, but at least he got on the field.

Corbett and Watford both got some work in snapping the ball before the game on Sunday. They are both options at backup center. For now, each has been used to unbalance the line.
