Injured Reserve
Wright picked up the injury during Thursday's joint practice with the Bills during a one-on-one drill with offensive tackle Spencer Brown. Follow-up tests revealed the extent of Wright's injury, which will sideline the 2022 third-rounder for the upcoming season. Isaiah McGuire is slated to start at defensive end opposite Jared Verse for the upcoming season, with the Browns adding depth to the position by signing Derek Barnett to a one-year contract.
Reported: Aug 23
Injured Reserve
Chatman hurt his quad in Cleveland's preseason finale and was subsequently waived/injured Sunday. He wasn't claimed on waivers, so he reverted to IR. That means Chatman will miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Reported: Aug 31
Injured Reserve
Davis injured his quad during training camp in late July and started the regular season on IR. His 21-day window opened Oct. 6, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery to warrant his removal from IR. That means that the 2022 sixth-rounder will be sidelined for the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Reported: Oct 27
Injured Reserve
Bell played in only one preseason contest due to an eye injury. He was waived/injured Sunday and went unclaimed, resulting on his placement on IR. Bell will need to sit out the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Reported: Aug 31
Injured Reserve
Jenkins has yet to play in the 2026 regular season due to a persistent back injury. The issue seems to be significant enough that Jenkins will not be able to return to the field soon, leaving the Browns no choice but to place the guard on IR.
Reported: Oct 24
Injured Reserve
Ulofoshio suffered a biceps injury in Cleveland's final preseason contest Thursday and was waived/injured Sunday. He went unclaimed on waivers and consequently reverted to injured reserve. As a result, Ulofoshio won't be able to play during the 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Reported: Aug 31
Injured Reserve
Sanders opened the year as Cleveland's No. 3 running back but saw his role increase after Dylan Sampson (knee) landed on IR. During the season's first four games, Sanders gained 42 yards on eight carries and added eight catches for 49 yards on nine targets before going down with a hip injury in Week 5. Sanders will be sidelined for at least the next four games.
Reported: Oct 13
Out 10
Out
Campbell drew the questionable tag for Sunday's home opener after being limited in all three practices during Week 3 prep, but he wasn't cleared by medical staff to play against Carolina. As such, Mekhi Blackmon will start at outside cornerback opposite Denzel Ward, and Campbell's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Steelers.
Reported: Sep 27
Out
Watson cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol this past Saturday, but because he managed just one limited practice during Week 9 prep, the Browns opted to make him inactive for their matchup with the Saints. Shedeur Sanders drew his first start of the season and threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 23-22 overtime loss in New Orleans, but he'll return to the No. 2 role this week while a healthy Watson reclaims the starting job. Though the Browns have gone 5-3 with Watson under center this season, he hasn't been without his flaws (six turnovers, 33 sacks taken). As such, Watson may need a strong showing against the Texans to hold off Sanders for the starting job in the weeks to come.
Reported: Nov 11
Out
Gabriel opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a back injury, but he was cleared to be activated from IR on Monday. He'll be the Browns' emergency QB3 in his return, which means he's not allowed to play Sunday unless both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Reported: Nov 01
Out
With Deshaun Watson (concussion) inactive, Green will stay the emergency third option for a different starter-backup duo. Shedeur Sanders is set to start at quarterback, with Dillon Gabriel ready to back him up. Green will only enter the contest if both Sanders and Gabriel exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
Reported: Nov 08
Out
Royer has been designated to return to the team but will be required to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. The rookie fifth-rounder missed the entirety of the preseason due to a personal issue. It remains unclear when the tight end will be ready to return to football.

Questionable
Per Petrak, Coats needed assistance to leave the practice field and was not putting any weight on his right leg. Until Coats is able to return to action, free-agent acquisition Tyler Hall could see an uptick in reps in the secondary.
Reported: Aug 25
Questionable
Hall has missed the Browns' past three games because of a lingering ankle injury, and now his status for Week 8 is in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to not go into the weekend with an injury designation.
Reported: Oct 28
Questionable
Watson has now fully recovered from the biceps injury that forced him to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old will spend the remainder of the summer competing for the backup middle linebacker role behind Carson Schwesinger.
Reported: Aug 06
Questionable
Sampson's limitations were presumably maintenance-related after he suited up in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans following a five-game stint on injured reserve due to the knee injury. In his return to action, Sampson served as the No. 2 option out of the backfield behind Quinshon Judkins and carried six times for 45 yards while adding three receptions for 32 yards on three targets.
Reported: Oct 28
Questionable
Judkins has logged back-to-back limited practices as he tries to limit his absence due to an ankle injury to one game. He sat out the Browns' Week 6 win over the Ravens, during which Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime notched nine carries apiece. Cleveland could have a different backfield mix Sunday against the Titans, with Judkins angling to reclaim the lead role and Dylan Sampson (knee) eligible to be activated from injured reserve.
Reported: Oct 22
Questionable
Thomas may have tweaked his ankle in Week 7 against the Titans, and his injury limited his practice reps during Week 8 prep. He's mostly contributed on special teams, but his absence would also mean less depth in the secondary for Sunday's AFC North showdown.
Reported: Oct 30
Questionable
Hickman suffered a concussion in Week 9 against the Saints. He will have multiple steps to work through, but has the full week to clear concussion protocol. The fourth-year pro has 57 tackles (26 solo), four pass deflections and one interception in nine regular-season games this season.
Reported: Nov 11
Questionable
Fannin dealt with the groin issue in practice last week but ultimately avoided an injury designation ahead of last Sunday's overtime loss to the Saints. In that contest, Fannin caught both of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. He had been silent for much of the game before producing a 39-yard touchdown in the extra frame. The overall TE7 in half-PPR points per game this season, Fannin has 37 catches for 453 yards and four touchdowns on 53 targets through nine appearances.
Reported: Nov 11
Questionable
Boston logged a 93 percent offensive snap share in this past Sunday's 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints en route to hauling in six of his seven targets for 98 yards. However the rookie WR emerged from the contest with a toe issue that will make his status worth watching ahead of this weekend's game against the Texans. If Boston -- who's expected to return to practice Thursday, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer -- ends up being available, he'll be catching passes once again from Deshaun Watson, while Week 9 starter Shedeur Sanders will revert to serving as the Browns' QB2.
Reported: Nov 11
Questionable
Concepcion and Denzel Boston (foot) have now been limited in both of the Browns' first two Week 7 practices, so the two rookie wideouts may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid taking injury designations into Sunday's game against the Titans. After sustaining a concussion in the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Jets, Concepcion was able to clear the five-step protocol prior to last week's game against the Ravens and went on to finish with four catches for 37 yards on six targets while adding two yards on two carries in a 13-10 win.

Watson, who reported concussion symptoms Tuesday, didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday before being deemed limited Friday and subsequently heading into the weekend with a 'questionable' tag. Though Watson has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, the Browns have elected to err on the side of caution with the QB who has compiled a 5-3 record as the team's starter to date. With Watson listed as inactive versus New Orleans, Shedeur Sanders will draw the start, while Dillon Gabriel will serve as Cleveland's No. 2 signal-caller. Taylen Green is the team's emergency No. 3 QB.
Out
With Deshaun Watson (concussion) inactive, Green will stay the emergency third option for a different starter-backup duo. Shedeur Sanders is set to start at quarterback, with Dillon Gabriel ready to back him up. Green will only enter the contest if both Sanders and Gabriel exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
Nov 07
Questionable
Since Watson reported concussion symptoms Tuesday, he didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday before being limited Friday and earning a questionable tag for Week 9 action. Head coach Todd Monken relayed to Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site Friday that Shedeur Sanders will be the team's starting quarterback Sunday, so some possibilities for Watson this weekend are active as the backup or inactive as the emergency third QB.
Nov 06
Questionable
Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, coach Todd Monken said Friday that he hasn't decided if Watson will be the team's Week 9 backup, as the QB -- who is in the NFL's concussion protocol -- has yet to be cleared. In any case, if Watson is active come Sunday, he'll merely be the backup. He was a limited practice participant Friday, after missing the previous two days.
Nov 05
Questionable
Schwesinger led the Browns in tackles during the lopsided Week 8 loss. The 2025 second-round pick has 74 tackles (30 solo) this season, having cracked double digits in four of eight games.
Questionable
Boston dealt with a foot issue a couple weeks ago, but the calf injury is new this week. The rookie wideout has been scuffling after a hot start to the season. Perhaps the likely insertion of Shedeur Sanders this Sunday against the Saints can help Boston regain his big-play ability. Boston is a low-floor, upside WR4 for fantasy.
Questionable
With Watson, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, in line to log back-to-back DNPs, the QB's status for Sunday's game against the Saints remains cloudy. In the event that Watson doesn't gain clearance to play this weekend, Shedeur Sanders will draw the start in his place.
Questionable
Fannin wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so his appearance on it a day later is notable. It remains to be seen if Thursday's listed limitations were maintenance-related or indicative of a setback, but the tight end may need to work fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Saints without an injury designation.
Questionable
Head coach Todd Monken stated he is "optimistic" Williams will be available for the Week 9 meeting with the Saints. Although the 30-year-old was limited Thursday, it seems he's at least moving in the right direction. Williams has appeared in all eight of Cleveland's games this season, amassing 55 total tackles (32 solo), 1.0 sacks and four forced fumbles.
Nov 04
Questionable
Boston made appearances on the injury report in Weeks 6 and 7 due to a foot issue, but he's tending to a new health concern coming out of this past Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers. The rookie wideout will have two more chances this week to upgrade to full practice, and if he does, he should head into Sunday's game in New Orleans without an injury designation.
Questionable
Early in this past Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers, Watson exited the game to get checked for a concussion following a helmet-to-helmet hit, but he was cleared to re-enter the contest after missing just four offensive snaps. However, after he had some late-surfacing symptoms, Watson entered concussion protocol Tuesday and was a spectator for the Browns' first Week 9 session. According to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, Watson "felt a lot better" Wednesday and was involved in meetings, but Shedeur Sanders took all the reps with the first-team offense. Sanders appears to be trending toward starting Sunday against the Saints, as Monken acknowledged that it will be difficult for Watson to play even if he ends up clearing the protocol late in the week, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram.
Questionable
Williams missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, which likely occurred at some point during the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Steelers. However, head coach Todd Monken said he is "optimistic" that the 30-year-old will be ready for Week 9. Williams will need to upgrade his practice status by Friday for a chance to play.
Nov 01
Out
Gabriel opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a back injury, but he was cleared to be activated from IR on Monday. He'll be the Browns' emergency QB3 in his return, which means he's not allowed to play Sunday unless both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Oct 30
Questionable
Thomas may have tweaked his ankle in Week 7 against the Titans, and his injury limited his practice reps during Week 8 prep. He's mostly contributed on special teams, but his absence would also mean less depth in the secondary for Sunday's AFC North showdown.
Questionable
Harden was limited in practice all week by a hamstring injury that he picked up in the Browns' Week 7 win over the Titans. Mekhi Blackmon and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren figure to be the top candidates for more defensive snaps in the secondary if Harden is not cleared to play in Sunday's AFC North tilt.
Oct 28
Questionable
Sampson's limitations were presumably maintenance-related after he suited up in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans following a five-game stint on injured reserve due to the knee injury. In his return to action, Sampson served as the No. 2 option out of the backfield behind Quinshon Judkins and carried six times for 45 yards while adding three receptions for 32 yards on three targets.
Questionable
Per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, coach Todd Monken said Wednesday that he gave Verse the day off and expects him to play Sunday at Pittsburgh. With that said, his activity at practice Thursday and Friday might still be worth keeping an eye on.
Questionable
Hall has missed the Browns' past three games because of a lingering ankle injury, and now his status for Week 8 is in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to not go into the weekend with an injury designation.
Questionable
Harden hurt his hamstring during Sunday's game at Tennessee, and now his availability for Week 8 is in question. He'll probably have to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Questionable
Howard is in the league's concussion protocol after exiting Sunday's win over the Titans due to a concussion. Dawand Jones is in line to start at right tackle if Howard is unable to clear the concussion protocol before Sunday's matchup versus the Steelers.
Oct 27
Questionable
Schwesinger finished third on the Browns in tackles Sunday behind both Quincy Williams and Ronnie Hickman (10 each). Schwesinger has played every single defensive snap through seven regular-season games and has logged at least eight stops in six of those contests. He's up to 64 total tackles on the year, which leads the Browns and is sixth-most in the NFL.
Injured Reserve
Davis injured his quad during training camp in late July and started the regular season on IR. His 21-day window opened Oct. 6, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery to warrant his removal from IR. That means that the 2022 sixth-rounder will be sidelined for the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Oct 26
Oct 25
Out
Estime carried nine times for 19 yards and a touchdown in his 2026 debut during last week's win over the Ravens, but he'll be in street clothes Sunday while the Browns welcome Quinshon Judkins (ankle) and Dylan Sampson (knee) back from injuries. So long as Judkins, Sampson and Jaleel McLaughlin are all available for Cleveland, Estime could remain a fixture on the inactive list in the weeks to come.
Questionable
Harden tweaked his hamstring in the third quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Mekhi Blackmon will see more defensive snaps for as long as Harden is out of the game.
Out
Dillon Gabriel (back) is staying on IR, so Green will once again serve as the emergency QB3 behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. As such, Green is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Watson and Sanders leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Questionable
Howard was taken to the locker room in the second half and is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Dawand Jones has taken over at right tackle in Howard's absence.
Oct 24
Injured Reserve
Jenkins has yet to play in the 2026 regular season due to a persistent back injury. The issue seems to be significant enough that Jenkins will not be able to return to the field soon, leaving the Browns no choice but to place the guard on IR.
Oct 23
Questionable
Ward appeared on the Browns' Friday injury report with a new hand injury. The cornerback managed to log a limited session despite the issue, but it remains uncertain whether he will be able to play through the injury in Sunday's contest. If Ward cannot suit up, Mekhi Blackmon or Toriano Pride will start at outside cornerback across from Tyson Campbell.
Injured Reserve
The Browns opened Gabriel's 21-day return window on Oct. 6. If the second-year quarterback is not activated by Tuesday's deadline, he will be forced to spend the remainder of the 2026 season on IR. The Browns have been struggling to make decisions at quarterback, so it remains unclear if the team will activate him, keep him stashed on IR, or waive him once a judgment call is forced.
Injured Reserve
With Sampson still on injured reserve, the Browns will need to activate him by Saturday afternoon to have him available for Sunday's game against the Titans. Starting running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) has been cleared to return from a one-game absence, in any case, which potentially limits Sampson to a passing-down role if he plays.
Questionable
Coach Todd Monken said Delpit is close to clearing concussion protocol and hopes he will be cleared Saturday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. The strong safety will need full vetting and approval from one of the NFL's independent neurologists to suit up for Sunday's contest. If Delpit cannot play, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren will likely start at strong safety for the Browns as they take on the Titans.
Injured Reserve
Davis will remain on injured reserve through the Browns' Sunday contest against the Titans. The defensive tackle's 21-day practice window opened Oct. 6, meaning that if he is not activated by Tuesday, he will need to remain on IR for the rest of the 2026 season.
Out
Hall will miss his third consecutive game with an ankle injury he suffered against the Steelers in Week 4. The defensive tackle's absence matters less now that Mason Graham has returned to the lineup to start alongside Maliek Collins. Hall's persistent injury means that Adin Huntington remains the only rotational defensive lineman on the 53-man roster.
Questionable
Williams didn't practice Thursday due to a neck injury, but he was cleared to return for Friday's session, for which he was listed as a limited participant. The veteran linebacker told reporters that he was at full speed during Friday's practice, but his official status may not be known until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which is when the Browns will announce their list of inactive players. If Williams cannot play, then Justin Jefferson and Winston Reid would be the top candidates to start alongside Carson Schwesinger and Easton Mascarenas-Arnold at linebacker.
Oct 22
Questionable
Boston has been bothered by a foot injury since the start of Cleveland's Week 6 preparations against the Ravens. He suited up for that game after three limited practices but was held to one catch, and the rookie second-round pick has opened Week 7 prep with a pair of limited sessions. Boston will look to increase his practice participation Friday and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Injured Reserve
Since being designated for return from injured reserve last week, Sampson has turned in four consecutive limited practices. While the Browns haven't indicated that Sampson has experienced any setbacks with his knee since making his return to practice, he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to put himself on a path to come off IR prior to Sunday's game against the Titans.
Questionable
Concepcion and Denzel Boston (foot) have now been limited in both of the Browns' first two Week 7 practices, so the two rookie wideouts may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid taking injury designations into Sunday's game against the Titans. After sustaining a concussion in the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Jets, Concepcion was able to clear the five-step protocol prior to last week's game against the Ravens and went on to finish with four catches for 37 yards on six targets while adding two yards on two carries in a 13-10 win.
Questionable
Judkins has logged back-to-back limited practices as he tries to limit his absence due to an ankle injury to one game. He sat out the Browns' Week 6 win over the Ravens, during which Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime notched nine carries apiece. Cleveland could have a different backfield mix Sunday against the Titans, with Judkins angling to reclaim the lead role and Dylan Sampson (knee) eligible to be activated from injured reserve.
Oct 21
Questionable
Schwesinger was able to play through his lingering ankle injury in Week 6 versus the Ravens, recording a season-high 13 total tackles in that game. The Browns may simply be exercising an abundance of caution, but Schwesinger's activity at practice as the week continues will still be worth keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's contest at Tennessee.
Questionable
Though he didn't end up practicing fully at any point in Week 6 while managing the same foot injury, Boston still avoided a designation for this past Sunday's 13-10 win over the Ravens and ended up logging more than 90 percent of the offensive snaps. As long as he maintains or increases his current level of practice activity throughout the week, Boston should be ready to handle his usual playing time this coming Sunday versus the Titans.
Injured Reserve
Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com previously noted that coach Todd Monken indicated that he was optimistic Sampson -- who last saw action in Week 1 -- will be able to come off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. The Browns may also welcome lead RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) back to the lineup this weekend, and if both Judkins and Sampson are available versus Tennessee, Sampson figures to work as a pass-catching complement behind Judkins (ankle).
Questionable
The rookie is starting the week with a limited practice due to calf and quad issues. That he was able to participate is a good sign, however, even if Concepcion wasn't a full-go. Concepcion's status for Sunday's game against the Titans will become more clear with Friday's injury report.
Questionable
Before sitting out this past Sunday's 13-10 win over the Ravens, Judkins was able to close Week 6 prep with a limited practice Friday. He's maintained that level of activity heading into Week 7, and as long as he's able to continuing practicing in some fashion Thursday and Friday, Judkins should have a good chance at making his return to action this Sunday versus the Titans. If available, Judkins should operate as the Browns' lead option on the ground, though he could cede some snaps on passing downs to Dylan Sampson (knee), who was also limited Wednesday and could be ready to make his return from injured reserve this Sunday.

Oct 18
Questionable
Delpit has entered the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will not return to Sunday's game. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren will likely finish out the game as the strong safety for the Browns' secondary.
Questionable
Jefferson exited Sunday's contest in the third quarter with a hip injury. The linebacker's absence means Winston Reid is now the sole depth option behind Quincy Williams and Easton Mascarenas-Arnold for the Browns' defense.
Out
Graham was not expected to suit up for Sunday's game, as he remains limited with knee and ankle injuries. The defensive tackle will again be replaced by Adin Huntington as he continues to recover.
Out
Coming out of the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Jets, head coach Todd Monken labeled Judkins as day-to-day due to a right ankle injury. Judkins was held out of practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday as a limited participant, prompting the Browns to list him questionable heading into the weekend. After going through a pregame workout Sunday, Judkins wasn't able to show enough progress with his ankle to suit up, so he'll wind up being sidelined for the first time this season. The Browns will have Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime as their available running backs for Week 6.
Out
Green will once again act as the emergency third quarterback behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Green will only enter the game if neither Watson nor Sanders can play.
Oct 16
Questionable
Schwesinger was held out of the first two practices of Week 6 prep due to a Grade 1 ankle sprain that he picked up during the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Jets. He was able to practice in a limited fashion Friday to draw the questionable tag, but if he cannot play Sunday, then Winston Reid and rookie fifth-rounder Justin Jefferson would be the top candidates to start at linebacker.
Injured Reserve
Sampson has been sidelined since injuring his left knee during a Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, and while he was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't do enough in practice since then to warrant activation. With Sampson still sidelined and Quinshon Judkins' (foot) status up in the air for Week 6, the Browns may be looking at a situation in which Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are powering the ground game this weekend.
Injured Reserve
Davis was held out of practice all week, which isn't a great sign given that he was designated to return from injured reserve Oct. 6. If he's not activated from IR by the end of his 21-day window, then Davis would be required to miss the rest of the season. His next chance to play is Week 7 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 25.
Questionable
Graham opened Week 6 prep with back-to-back DNPs but was able to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity, which was enough for the second-year pro to earn the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC North showdown. Adin Huntington would start alongside Maliek Collins for a second consecutive game if Graham is not cleared to play.
Out
Hall will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury he picked up against the Steelers in Week 4. His next chance to play is Week 7 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 25, though Hall is unlikely to suit up for that contest unless he's cleared to return to practice in at least a limited capacity. The good news for the Browns' defensive front is that Mason Graham (knee/ankle) has a chance to return from a one-game absence after drawing the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC North showdown.
Questionable
Judkins was spotted wearing a walking boot on his right foot following this past Sunday's loss at the Jets, after which head coach Todd Monken called him "day-to-day," per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Judkins was back on the practice field Friday, which seemingly is enough to give him a chance to play Sunday versus the Ravens. Because fellow RB Dylan Sampson (knee) won't return from IR this weekend, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime stand to benefit if Judkins is inhibited or out Sunday.
Out
Jenkins has yet to practice, let alone play, this season while recovering from a back injury. His next chance to suit up is Week 7 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 25, although there doesn't appear to be a clear timeline for his return.
Oct 15
Questionable
Boston has logged back-to-back limited practices to kick off Week 6 prep. The rookie wideout could still avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's pivotal home game against the Ravens, especially if he can upgrade to full participation Thursday. Fellow rookie WR KC Concepcion (concussion) was also limited both Wednesday and Thursday. More opportunities could be available for Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond should one or both of Boston and Concepcion sit Sunday.
Injured Reserve
Though the Browns officially designated Sampson for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't end up taking any reps in the team's first Week 6 practice session. Sampson was back on the field a day later as a limited participant, but in order to have a shot at being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, he may need to upgrade to a full practice Friday. Lead back Quinshon Judkins (foot) hasn't been able to practice in any fashion this week and looks to be trending toward sitting out versus Baltimore, so Sampson could be in line for a prominent role if he ends up getting activated this weekend.
Questionable
While Concepcion's ability to practice in some capacity for a second straight day is an encouraging sign, he still has a couple of hurdles to clear in order to play Sunday versus the Ravens. In addition to upgrading to full practice participation Friday, Concepcion will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist no later than Saturday before he's removed from concussion protocol. If the rookie wideout can't play against Baltimore, Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond would be in store for more reps behind Denzel Boston (foot), who was also limited in practice Thursday.
Questionable
Judkins was listed as a non-participant Wednesday, and while his presence Thursday is encouraging, he may go down as a non-participant again unless he ramps up his activity level behind closed doors. The Browns placed Raheim Sanders (hip) on injured reserve Tuesday and opened Dylan Sampson's 21-day window to return from IR on Wednesday. If neither Judkins or Sampson are available Sunday against the Ravens, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime would split Cleveland's backfield duties in a rehash of the 2024 Broncos backfield.
Oct 14
Questionable
The rookie second-round pick is making his first career appearance on the injury report, but his ability to practice on at least a limited basis to begin Week 6 prep is a good sign for his chances of playing Sunday against the Ravens. The current betting favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, Boston has opened his career with a 16-330-3 receiving line on 29 targets through five games.
Injured Reserve
Despite being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Sampson didn't end up logging any reps after having his 21-day practice window opened. Prior to the Browns' first Week 6 practice, head coach Todd Monken told Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram that Sampson has a chance at being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, but the second-year back would likely need to put in a full workout Thursday or Friday to make that a reality.
Questionable
Just three days after sustaining a concussion when he was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit from the Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick, Concepcion was able to make enough progress through the five-step protocol to open Week 6 prep on the field, albeit in a limited fashion. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full participation and will then need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol. If Concepcion can't play Sunday against the Ravens, Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond would be in line for added reps alongside Denzel Boston (foot) in two- and three-receiver sets.
Questionable
Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com noted that Judkins was spotted Wednesday walking around the locker room without a walking boot on his right foot, but the running back ultimately wasn't able to mix into any drills during the Browns' first Week 6 practice session. Judkins will need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday for fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Ravens. At least for the time being, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are the healthy running backs on the Browns' active roster.
Questionable
Howard suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 5 loss to the Jets and he was unable to return to the contest. He has now opened the week as a non-participant at the team's first practice, and he'll have two more chances to return to the field before Sunday's matchup with Baltimore.
Oct 13
Injured Reserve
Sanders opened the year as Cleveland's No. 3 running back but saw his role increase after Dylan Sampson (knee) landed on IR. During the season's first four games, Sanders gained 42 yards on eight carries and added eight catches for 49 yards on nine targets before going down with a hip injury in Week 5. Sanders will be sidelined for at least the next four games.
Oct 12
Questionable
Schwesinger was spotted wearing a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's loss, when he played every single defensive snap and logged eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble. The Grade 1 sprain is a best-case scenario for the second-year linebacker, and he has not been ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens, though his practice participation will provide clarity on whether he'll be cleared to play this coming Sunday. Winston Reid and rookie fifth-rounder Justin Jefferson figure to be the top candidates to start at linebacker if Schwesinger were to miss time.
Injured Reserve
Sampson was placed on injured reserve in mid-September due to a left knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Monken opened the door for Sampson to be designated to return from IR during Week 6 prep, though his practice participation over the coming days ultimately will determine whether he's ready to play against the Ravens on Sunday. Sampson's potential return could be an important one for the Browns, given that Quinshon Judkins (foot) and Raheim Sanders (hip) both left this past Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets due to their respective injuries.
Questionable
Though he was able to finish out Sunday's contest while accounting for 50 yards from scrimmage on 17 touches (14 carries, three receptions), Judkins handled a lower snap share (52.9 percent) than usual, likely due to the injury. The second-year back was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot following the game, but Monken's comments offer at least some optimism about Judkins' availability heading into Week 6. His practice participation Wednesday through Friday should help provide a clearer read on his status heading into next Sunday.
Oct 11
Questionable
Schwesinger sustained a lower-leg injury during Sunday's loss but did not receive an official injury designation. It is unclear how significant the injury to the defensive captain and signal caller is.
Questionable
Concepcion sustained a concussion in the Browns' 17-12 loss to the Jets on Sunday after taking a hard hit from Minkah Fitzpatrick. The rookie wideout will now have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before he can return to game action. Concepcion's status for a Week 6 home divisional matchup against the Ravens will bear monitoring over the upcoming practice week.
Questionable
It's unclear when Judkins may have suffered the injury, but he paced the Browns backfield in Week 5 with 14 carries for 44 yards while adding three catches (on four targets) for six yards. With reserve RB Raheim Sanders also exiting Sunday's game due to a hip issue, Jaleel McLaughlin emerges as the team's only healthy RB on the active roster.
Questionable
Sanders exited the game in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. The running back rushed three times for 12 yards and caught his sole target for one yard before exiting the contest.
Out
Green will be inactive for the fifth consecutive contest but is listed as the Browns' QB3, meaning he will take over if Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Questionable
The new starting right tackle suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest. With Howard absent, Dawand Jones may need to finish the game at right tackle for the Browns' offense.
Oct 09
Out
Ryan popped up on Thursday's injury report with a calf injury and could practice only in a limited capacity. The tight end downgraded to a DNP in Friday's session, forcing the Browns to rule him out of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Injured Reserve
Gabriel logged full participation in every practice session during the Browns' Week 5 prep. The quarterback remains on injured reserve due to a back injury, and it appears the team will milk the 21-day practice window until it expires. By keeping the backup quarterback on IR, the Browns temporarily save a roster spot for another player.
Injured Reserve
The Browns opened Davis' 21-day practice window Tuesday. The defensive tackle practiced throughout Week 5 prep but is not quite ready to return to the active roster after missing the first four games of the 2026 regular season.
Out
Graham sprained his MCL in the Browns' Week 4 win over the Steelers. The defensive tackle has not practiced since sustaining the injury and thus will not play in Sunday's contest. Adin Huntington is set to start at defensive tackle opposite Maliek Collins for the matchup with the Jets.
Out
Hall has not been able to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Browns' Week 4 win over the Steelers last Thursday. The defensive tackle's absence is compounded by the absence of Mason Graham (knee/ankle), leaving the team with no reserve options on the 53-man roster behind Maliek Collins and Adin Huntington.
Out
Jenkins will end up missing each of the Browns' first five games of the regular season due to a back injury, which prevented him from practicing all week. His next chance to make his 2026 regular-season debut is Week 6 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Out
Wallace has not practiced since sustaining a knee injury in the Browns' Week 3 win over the Panthers. The wide receiver will now miss consecutive games due to the issue, again leaving Malachi Corley as the No. 5 wideout option for the Browns' offense.
Oct 08
Questionable
Carsen wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday, so he likely picked up the calf issue during practice. The rookie has seen most of his action on special teams this season, logging only two snaps so far on offense. As such, if Ryan is unable to play Sunday against the Jets, it probably won't affect Cleveland's passing game much.
Questionable
Hall suffered an ankle injury in last Thursday's win over Pittsburgh. Though he was able to return to that contest, the third-year defensive tackle has been held out of practice for the first two days of Week 5 prep, giving him a gloomy outlook for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. Mason Graham (knee) is also unlikely to suit up Sunday, so Cleveland could rely on Maliek Collins and Adin Huntington to hold down the fort.
Out
Wallace hurt his knee in Week 3 against Carolina and didn't play last Thursday in a win over the Steelers. He hasn't practiced since getting injured, so his chances of suiting up Sunday aren't promising. Wallace has yet to log a target this season, but another absence will likely mean that Malachi Corley gets more opportunities on offense.
Oct 07
Injured Reserve
Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, coach Todd Monken did not say Wednesday that there was any imminent activation planned for Gabriel, so it seems like the Browns may use most of the 21-day practice window they opened Tuesday to ultimately determine whether he'll be activated. Cleveland already has three healthy quarterbacks on its active 53-man roster, and Gabriel projects to land behind starter Deshaun Watson and 2025 fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders on the depth chart if he is eventually activated.
Questionable
Wallace sat out Cleveland's contest versus the Steelers in Week 4 due to a knee injury, and now his availability for Week 5 is up in the air too. He'll probably need to return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the Jets.
Oct 06
Injured Reserve
After Gabriel sustained a back injury in the final preseason game, the Browns used one of their eight IR return designations on the QB. Now that he's missed the requisite four games, Gabriel is eligible to be activated at any point, but the team will likely wait until closer to the end of the 21-day window to reinstate him. Once he's added back to the 53-man roster, Gabriel will slot in third on the depth chart behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders.
Injured Reserve
Davis opened the regular season on injured reserve after the fifth-year pro suffered a quadriceps injury during a training camp practice in late July. He's eligible to be activated from IR before Sunday's road game against the Jets, though Davis will likely need to log some full practices before getting the green light from the Browns to play. His return would bolster the Browns' interior defensive front, especially after 2025 first-rounder Mason Graham was diagnosed with an MCL and ankle sprain that he sustained during Cleveland's Week 4 win over Pittsburgh.
Sep 27
Out
Because he's serving as the emergency QB3, the rookie sixth-rounder is prohibited from taking the field Sunday unless both starter Deshaun Watson and backup Shedeur Sanders were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Out
Campbell drew the questionable tag for Sunday's home opener after being limited in all three practices during Week 3 prep, but he wasn't cleared by medical staff to play against Carolina. As such, Mekhi Blackmon will start at outside cornerback opposite Denzel Ward, and Campbell's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Steelers.
Sep 19
Sep 18
Out
Jenkins was also unable to suit up in Week 1 due to his lingering back injury, and now he'll have to wait at least one more week before making his season debut. Rookie third-rounder Austin Barber should again start at right guard in Jenkins' place in Week 2.
Questionable
Campbell didn't practice Thursday but logged a limited session Friday, so there's hope concerning his availability against the Buccaneers. If the ankle injury prevents Campbell from getting on the field, Noah Igbinoghene or Mekhi Blackmon may fill in and line up opposite Denzel Ward.
Sep 16
Sep 15
Injured Reserve
It's unclear exactly how much time Sampson will miss. He is expected back this season, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, but his placement on IR means he will miss at least the next four games. Jaleel McLaughlin was brought up from the practice squad, and both he and Raheim Sanders -- who played 18 snaps on offense and got four touches Sunday after Sampson's exit -- will work behind starter Quinshon Judkins.
Sep 14
Out
Monken said more information will be known Wednesday, which would suggest he's playing coy since the Browns aren't required to provide any update until an injury report needs to be released Wednesday. Sampson was on crutches after Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, so he's likely looking at some missed time at least. Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders handled backfield duties with Sampson sidelined.
Sep 08
Sep 01
Injured Reserve
Davis sustained the injury during a training camp practice in late July, forcing him to miss all three of the Browns' preseason games. By opening the regular season on IR, the fifth-year defensive tackle will be required to miss at least four games, so Week 5 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11 is the earliest the Davis can see the field. Adin Huntington and Mike Hall will serve as the Browns' rotational options at defensive tackle behind starters Mason Graham and Maliek Collins for as long as Davis is sidelined.
Aug 31
Injured Reserve
Gabriel has been placed on injured reserve to begin the season, so he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of 2026. It sounds like it was more of a procedural move by Cleveland to buy the team more time to sort out its quarterback situation, one that also involves starter Deshaun Watson and current backups Shedeur Sanders and rookie Taylen Green. Gabriel showed enough in the preseason to warrant a roster spot, either in Cleveland or elsewhere.
Injured Reserve
Ulofoshio suffered a biceps injury in Cleveland's final preseason contest Thursday and was waived/injured Sunday. He went unclaimed on waivers and consequently reverted to injured reserve. As a result, Ulofoshio won't be able to play during the 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Injured Reserve
Chatman hurt his quad in Cleveland's preseason finale and was subsequently waived/injured Sunday. He wasn't claimed on waivers, so he reverted to IR. That means Chatman will miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Injured Reserve
Bell played in only one preseason contest due to an eye injury. He was waived/injured Sunday and went unclaimed, resulting on his placement on IR. Bell will need to sit out the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.
Aug 30
Out
Royer has been designated to return to the team but will be required to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. The rookie fifth-rounder missed the entirety of the preseason due to a personal issue. It remains unclear when the tight end will be ready to return to football.
Aug 28
Questionable
Royer's absence Thursday means the tight end missed the entirety of the preseason due to a personal issue. The fifth-round tight end out of Cincinnati's current status within the organization is unclear, and it remains to be seen whether he will be a casualty of Sunday's roster cutdown.
Aug 27
Questionable
The linebacker went to the locker room before being ruled out, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. Ulofoshio did not record a stat before exiting. The former Bill is fighting for a roster spot in Cleveland.
Questionable
Chatman exited the game in the second quarter and was promptly ruled out. The former Jets defensive tackle is on the roster bubble as it is, and the injury increases the chances Chatman will be a victim of Sunday's cutdown day.
Aug 25
Questionable
Per Petrak, Coats needed assistance to leave the practice field and was not putting any weight on his right leg. Until Coats is able to return to action, free-agent acquisition Tyler Hall could see an uptick in reps in the secondary.
Aug 23
Injured Reserve
Wright picked up the injury during Thursday's joint practice with the Bills during a one-on-one drill with offensive tackle Spencer Brown. Follow-up tests revealed the extent of Wright's injury, which will sideline the 2022 third-rounder for the upcoming season. Isaiah McGuire is slated to start at defensive end opposite Jared Verse for the upcoming season, with the Browns adding depth to the position by signing Derek Barnett to a one-year contract.
Aug 19
Aug 07
Questionable
Concepcion was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain after a hard fall at Monday's practice, but it was apparently only a minor sprain, considering he returned to team drills Wednesday. The report notes that he made a leaping catch at Thursday's practice without any visible aggravation of the injury. Concepcion is competing for a top-three role at WR and looks on track to make at least one appearance during the NFL preseason.
Aug 06
Questionable
Watson has now fully recovered from the biceps injury that forced him to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old will spend the remainder of the summer competing for the backup middle linebacker role behind Carson Schwesinger.
Jul 23
Out
Collins sustained a quadriceps injury in early December 2025 during a game against the 49ers. The starting defensive tackle has apparently not recovered from the issue and will require additional time to heal before taking the field once again.
