Season-high 13 stops vs. Baltimore Schwesinger logged 13 tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during the Browns' 13-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Impact 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.

Ready to go for Week 6 Schwesinger (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact 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, a sack, a forced fumble and a pass breakup through five games.

Week 6 status comes down to pregame work Schwesinger, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, will go through a pregame workout before the Browns make a call on his status, Ian Rapoport of N...

Impact 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.

Tagged as questionable for Week 6 Schwesinger (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact 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.

Misses another practice Thursday Schwesinger (ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Impact 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.

Avoids serious injury Schwesinger sustained a Grade 1 right ankle sprain during the Browns' 17-12 loss to the Jets on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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 Oct. 18. Winston Reid and rookie fifth-rounder Justin Jefferson figure to be the top candidates to start at linebacker if Schwesinger were to miss time.

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.
