After he was carted off and hospitalized with a neck injury, the Cleveland Browns placed linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on Injured Reserve. He now must miss at least the next four games before returning to the active roster.
The Browns have not signed a 53rd member to the active roster to take his place just yet. They did, however, elevate defensive tackle Sam Kamara from the practice squad for this matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
With Owusu-Koramoah and veteran Jordan Hicks both out in this matchup, the Browns will turn to second-year undrafted free agent linebacker Mohamoud Diabate to step up once again. He has stepped up in recent weeks as the starting MIKE linebacker with Hicks sidelined, and the Browns will count on the explosive youngster once again.
Veteran and former first round pick Devin Bush likely gets the start opposite Diabate in this one. We wish Owusu-Koramoah a speedy recovery back onto the field as he was having another stellar season.
