InjuryQuestionable7d ago

Carson Schwesinger — 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.

InjuryActive12d ago

Carson Schwesinger — Active

Schwesinger was able to return to the field after missing the team's first practice of the week while tending to his lingering ankle injury. The linebacker has been able to play through the injury the last few weeks, and he seems likely to be good to go Sunday versus the Titans.

InjuryQuestionable13d ago

Carson Schwesinger — 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.

InjuryQuestionable14d ago

Carson Schwesinger — Questionable

Schwesinger was nursing an ankle injury during Week 6 prep, but he was given the green light to play after going through pregame warmups. He ended up leading the Browns in stops while playing every single defensive snap, and he made arguably the most important play of the game when he punched the ball out of Derrick Henry's hands early in the fourth quarter, and the Browns' offense capitalized with a two-yard rushing touchdown by Audric Estime seven plays later. Schwesinger has logged double-digit stops in three of six regular-season games and is up to 56 combined tackles, which is tied with Nakobe Dean and Anthony Hill for fifth-most in the NFL.

InjuryActive16d ago

Carson Schwesinger — Active

Despite sustaining a Grade 1 right ankle sprain in last week's loss to the Jets and managing just one limited practice during Week 6 prep, Schwesinger has been cleared to suit up Sunday after making it through a pregame workout no worse for the wear. After taking home NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2025, Schwesinger is off to another strong start to the current campaign, having compiled 43 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass breakup through five games.

InjuryQuestionable16d ago

Carson Schwesinger — Questionable

The reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year is nursing a Grade 1 right ankle sprain coming out of this past Sunday's loss to the Jets and was contained to one limited practice during Week 6 prep. Schwesinger showed enough during Friday's session for the Browns to keep the door open for him to play Sunday, but he'll need to check out well in his pregame work in order to get the green light to suit up. Official word on the linebacker's status will arrive when the Browns post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

InjuryQuestionable18d ago

Carson Schwesinger — 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.

InjuryQuestionable19d ago

Carson Schwesinger — Questionable

Schwesinger suffered a Grade 1 right ankle sprain in the Browns' contest against the Jets in Week 5, and his status for Week 6 is now in serious doubt. Unless he's able to get back on the practice field Friday, it's unlikely he'll be able to suit up Sunday versus the Ravens.

InjuryQuestionable22d ago

Carson Schwesinger — 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.

InjuryQuestionable23d ago

Carson Schwesinger — 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.

InjuryActive32d ago

Carson Schwesinger — Active

Schwesinger played all 64 of the Browns' defensive snaps in the contest. The middle linebacker and defensive signal caller has played all 262 defensive snaps for the team through four regular-season games in 2026. Schwesinger's nine total tackles led the Browns and tied Steelers inside linebacker Payton Wilson for the most in the game.

InjuryActive35d ago

Carson Schwesinger — Active

Schwesinger played all 74 defensive snaps in Sunday's contest. He has played all 196 defensive snaps for the Browns through three regular-season games. The middle linebacker and signal caller for the defense did not have any incredible box-score feats in the Week 3 win but practiced stellar communication that helped enable Mason Graham's 2.0 sacks and Ronnie Hickman's game-winning interception.
