Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

May not return to NFL Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that it is unlikely that Owusu-Koramoah will play in the NFL again due to a neck injury he sustained in October of 2024.

Impact Owusu-Koramoah sustained a serious neck injury in Week 8 against the Ravens while attempting to tackle running back Derrick Henry, which resulted in the former being carted off the field. Owusu-Koramoah was sidelined for the entire 2025 season, and it appears as though the injury will prevent the 2021 second-rounder from playing another NFL snap. If that is the case, he would end his NFL career with 308 total tackles, including 8.0 sacks, 17 pass defenses (three interceptions) and six forced fumbles across 49 regular-season games, along with a Pro Bowl selection in 2023.

Shifts to PUP list The Browns placed Owusu-Koramoah (neck) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to to Perform list Monday.

Impact The 2021 second-round pick from Notre Dame missed the Browns' final nine games in 2024 due to a neck injury, and it now appears he'll miss all of 2025 as he continues to recover. Owusu-Koramoah has been one of Cleveland's most impactful defenders over the past two seasons, recording 162 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks, nine passes defended and two forced fumbles across 24 regular-season games. With the 25-year-old expected to be sidelined for the entire season, 2019 first-round pick Devin Bush is projected to step in and serve as one of the Browns' top insider linebackers.

In building for voluntary OTAs Owusu-Koramoah (neck) is present at team facilities Tuesday for the start of voluntary OTAs, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.

Impact Owusu-Koramoah's activity level at voluntary workouts has yet to be disclosed, and his attendance doesn't necessarily indicate having been cleared for any on-field activities, but but the 25-year-old's presence is at least a positive sign. The star linebacker suffered a serious season-ending neck injury last October after colliding with Baltimore running back running back Derrick Henry, and Browns general manager Andrew Berry referred to his recovery progress as "nebulous" last Thursday. Officially, Owusu-Koramoah still remains without a clear recovery timetable, and it's possible more specific clarity on his potential return to the field won't arrive until training camp.

The linebacker was checked into the hospital after he suffered a significant neck injury Week 8 versus the Rams. In eight games last season, Owusu-Koramoah posted 61 tackles, including three sacks, and one interception, and he logged a career-high 144 tackles across 16 regular-season games in 2023.

Not ready to return Owusu-Koramoah (neck) will not play this Sunday against the Chiefs, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Owusu-Koramoah has already been on IR for the minimum of four weeks, but it looks like he will spend another week there. Technically, he could be designated to return, and practice with the team and just not suit up Sunday, but that doesn't appear to be the plan either. He'll now set his sights on a Week 16 return against the Bengals.
