Browns could get boost as Greg Newsome II returns to the practice field

Could the third-year player return to the field Sunday?

After the Cleveland Browns lost rookie Cameron Mitchell to IR, his former college teammate, Greg Newsome II, returned to the practice field. The Browns have dealt with their fair share of injuries this season but they continue to live by the next man-up mentality.

It was a shame to lose Mitchell, who had a fantastic game for a rookie last week against the Arizona Cardinals. If Newsome would be unavailable this Sunday, the team’s depth at the position would really be tested. But Newsome returned to practice for the team Thursday and seemed to be moving around well based on videos from practice.

The defense will need all hands on deck this Sunday against the Ravens, whose offense is one of the league’s best right now. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken and Lamar Jackson have been a great pairing for Baltimore as the offense has been explosive and high-scoring at the midpoint of the season.

Greg Newsome II highlights Browns’ inactives, Dawand Jones active vs. Cardinals

The Browns have released their inactives against the Cardinals

Coming into this Week 9 matchup, the Cleveland Browns have already ruled out cornerback Greg Newsome II, wide receiver David Bell, and defensive end Alex Wright. Offensive tackle Dawand Jones was named as questionable for the game but is officially active against the Arizona Cardinals.

Due to the injury to Bell and the trade of Donovan Peoples-Jones, the Browns have promoted James Proche II from the practice squad for this game. Fourth round rookie Isaiah McGuire is set to make his NFL debut in this game due to the injury of Wright, who has come into his own this season for Jim Schwartz and his defensive unit.

Look for third round rookie wide receiver Cedric Tillman to see a massive increase in his role as well. This is an excellent game for quarterback Deshaun Watson to get his footing underneath him, but also for the rookie class to have a breakout.

Here is the full list of inactives for Cleveland as they look to advance to 5-3 against the 1-7 Cardinals.

Browns Injury Report: Cleveland starts Cardinals week with laundry list of injuries

The Browns got one key piece back in Deshaun Watson, but they are missing Dawand Jones as they prepare for the Cardinals

The Cleveland Browns are sitting at 4-3 on the season, looking to get back in the win column against the 1-7 Arizona Cardinals. As it sits just four days until gameday, however, the Browns have a lot of injuries to work through. While they got quarterback Deshaun Watson back to practice, they had a long list of players who missed. After exiting the game against the Seattle Seahawks, offensive tackle Dawand Jones has not yet returned to practice and is perhaps the biggest name on the list (no pun intended).

If Jones cannot go, the Browns will be forced to start their third different right tackle on the season in third-year player James Hudson III. It is a great thing to have the offensive line depth the Browns have as Hudson filled in against the Seahawks, grading out well in that game.

Here is the full list of every player who either missed practice on Wednesday or was limited by an injury.

Browns CB Greg Newsome II questionable to return with groin injury vs. Seahawks

Newsome, the Browns’ 2021 first-round pick, reportedly suffered a groin injury before halftime against the Seattle Seahawks.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II is reportedly questionable to return with a groin injury, according to multiple reports. He did not start on the Browns’ first defense series of the second half. Newsome II appeared to get hurt around the two-minute warning of the first half with the Browns down three to the Seattle Seahawks.

The former 2021 first-round pick left for the locker room prior to halftime and backup Cam Mitchell started the following series.

The third-year cornerback gave up the Seahawks’ first passing touchdown to Tyler Locker in the first quarter but came back and had a nice defensive play on a third-down pass attempt against Lockett early in the second quarter.

Newsome had already missed the Browns’ Week 3 match against the Tennessee Titans with an elbow injury. He had 12 combined tackles and one defended pass prior to Week 8.

Newsome was not on the field to start the second half for the Browns.

Update: Newsome has been ruled OUT.

Browns Injury Report: Deshaun Watson questionable, Sione Takitaki out vs. Colts

The Browns might get their quarterback back vs. the Colts, but linebacker Sione Takitaki is out. Here is the full injury report from Friday.

The Friday and final injury report has dropped before the Cleveland Browns look to advance to 4-2 on the season against the Indianapolis Colts. And it is littered with good news for the Browns, who started the week on the wrong side of the street health-wise. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has now practiced two days in a row, including as a full participant on Friday. Linebacker, Sione Takitaki, however, tweaked his hamstring in practice and will not play against the Colts.

Most notable, however, were the names that practiced in full today and do not have a gameday designation. Those two players would be left guard Joel Bitonio, who missed last week against the San Francisco 49ers, and linebacker Anthony Walker Jr., who appears to be out of the concussion protocol.

The Browns are going to Indianapolis rather healthy. The big question remains, however: will Watson play? Here is the full injury report as the Colts are just two days away.

Browns: Greg Newsome II says Myles Garrett is ‘the best on the planet’

Newsome believes there is no one better than Garrett

Another week another player talked about the greatness of Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett. This time it was teammate Greg Newsome II who, while talking to Richard Sherman, said he believes Garrett is the best in the world.

Newsome II would go on to say he’s the player you create when you make a star in Madden. He would then go on to talk about how he finally has help along the defensive line and now others can truly see his greatness.

It’s been another fantastic start to the season for Garrett who already has 26 pressures and 5.5 sacks through the first five games of the year. The Browns combined pass rush has been one of the best units in the league helping the overall defense to hold the title of the league’s best defense. The next test for this unit awaits on the road in Indianapolis against Shane Steichen and the Colts.

Browns Injury Report: Joel Bitonio, Kareem Hunt banged up on Wednesday

The Browns’ injury report was quite long, but featured two returning to practice.

The Cleveland Browns have the opportunity to advance to 3-1 this season as the Baltimore Ravens travel to Cleveland Browns Stadium for this Week 4 matchup. For the Browns, however, they have a few injuries to overcome, including both guard Joel Bitonio and running back Kareem Hunt who sat out with some nagging soreness.

They did, however, get two players back at practice after they missed the Week 3 win against the Tennessee Titans. Both cornerback Greg Newsome II and offensive lineman James Hudson III returned to the practice field for the Browns as they get set to take on their AFC North rival. Getting Newsome II back on the defensive side of the football would be a massive boost to an already stellar defense.

Here is the full injury list released by the Browns as they get ready to take on the Ravens this Sunday at home. With a unique opportunity to enter the bye with a 2-1 record in the AFC North, the Browns need to get healthy.

Browns announce Greg Newsome II, James Hudson III, other inactives vs. Titans

The Browns have announced their six inactives against the Titans, including Greg Newsome II and James Hudson III

The Cleveland Browns are just about set to take the field at Cleveland Browns Stadium as they look to advance to 2-1 on the season. They will be taking on the Tennessee Titans today, who are also looking to advance to 2-1 on the season. Just as they do every week 90 minutes before kickoff, the Browns have announced their inactives from the gameday roster. This week, this list of six players is highlighted by cornerback Greg Newsome II and offensive tackle James Hudson III.

Other than that, the Browns have listed four rookies who are buried on the depth chart as gameday inactives to join the injured cornerback and offensive tackle. As the Browns look to squeeze out a win at home, they will likely depend more on rookie cornerback Cameron Mitchell to take on the workload in the nickel. They also promoted veteran tackle Ty Nsehke from the practice squad to serve as the reserve lineman in this game as well.

Here is the full list of the six players who will not suit up against the Titans today.

Browns Injury Report: Two get gameday designations while Za’Darius Smith practices in full

The Browns have released their last injury report of the week, including two gameday designations.

The Cleveland Browns will be looking to bounce back in their Week 3 matchup against the Tennessee Titans in a big way. Coming off of a devastating loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, including the loss of running back Nick Chubb for the season, the Browns have the opportunity to prove they are all but out of it this season with a big win. And while cornerback Greg Newsome II will be out against the Titans, they did have a handful of key contributors return to practice in full. This includes defensive end Za’Darius Smith.

All in all, only Newsome II and offensive tackle James Hudson III were given gameday designations, as the reserve offensive lineman is listed as questionable. This is good news for a team that has gotten enough injury news through the first two weeks of the season.

Here is the full injury list released by the Browns after Friday’s practice as they prepare to that on the AFC South opponent at home this Sunday.

The Browns defense has locked down opponent’s passing attacks

The Browns have a no fly zone through two games

The defense has played more than good enough for the Cleveland Browns to be 2-0 if the offense hadn’t imploded in Pittsburgh. One of the biggest differences this year compared to last is the limitation of the big play. According to PFF, the Browns are second best in lowest completion percentage on throws over 10 yards only allowing 26.3 percent.

Last year there were so many games where the defense would blow coverage and leave a pass catcher wide open for an explosive touchdown. The Browns’ corners and safeties have been glued to the hips of their opponents and making the tackle when a catch is made to limit the yards after the catch.

Denzel Ward has looked like the player who earned an extension after a down season last year. According to PFF, Ward has allowed only two catches for 14 yards when in single coverage this year on 21 snaps. If this defense can continue to play to this level and the offense figures things out it will be a fun season.
