Carson Schwesinger - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Executes in team effort Schwesinger logged six tackles (one solo) in the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Schwesinger played all 74 defensive snaps in Sunday's contest and the captain 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.

Participates in team drills Saturday Schwesinger (undisclosed) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.

Impact Schwesinger had not practiced with the team yet in August. The Defensive Rookie of the Year's return is a huge boon for the Browns' defense as they head into the Week 1 contest with the Jaguars. Schwesinger is the defensive shotcaller for the team so reclaiming his first-team reps from Nathaniel Watson should kick the Browns' defense into another gear.

Returning to practice Saturday Schwesinger (undisclosed) will participate in Saturday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Schwesinger's participation level is yet to be seen, but it's encouraging sign for the second-year linebacker to return from an undisclosed injury. He has not played in any of the Browns' preseason games, but there's no indication that he's in jeopardy of missing Cleveland's regular-season opener against Jacksonville on Sunday, Sept. 13. The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year will lead a Browns defense that swapped Myles Garrett for Jared Verse this offseason and also features 2025 first-rounder Mason Graham and five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward.

Not in line to play Thursday Schwesinger (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Schwesinger has been tending to an undisclosed injury since late July, but after a standout rookie campaign in 2025 in which he accounted for 156 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two interceptions among three pass defenses in 16 regular-season games, the Browns won't risk the health of the player donning the green dot in the middle of their defense.

Limited in return to practice Schwesinger (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday as a limited participant, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Monday was the first time Schwesinger worked to the side since the first week of training camp, and the second-year linebacker is expected to increase his workload over the coming days, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. It seems unlikely that Schwesinger will play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots, but there's no indication that he's in jeopardy of being sidelined for Week 1 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Won't play Saturday Schwesinger (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact The Defensive Rookie of the Year is dealing with a minor injury and is not set to suit up. Schwesinger will once again be the Browns' starting middle linebacker and defensive shotcaller, meaning his health is far too important to risk in a preseason game. The 23-year-old will likely return to the field shortly to continue preparing for the Browns' Week 1 showdown with the Jaguars.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to practice next week Schwesinger (ankle) could return to practice next week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Schwesinger hasn't practiced since July 31 while nursing an ankle injury, but head coach Todd Monken outlined Monday that the team is being "overly cautious" with the linebacker. Monken said that the team is hopeful that Schwesinger will return to practice next week. It doesn't appear like the 23-year-old is at risk of missing any regular-season action with the injury.
