Inks deal with Pittsburgh The Steelers are signing Thornhill to a one-year deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The veteran safety from Virginia was designated a post-June 1 cut by the Browns in late February but will now remain in the AFC North after signing with the Steelers on Monday. Thornhill appeared in 22 games over his last two seasons in Cleveland, recording 103 total tackles and four passes defended. Now in Pittsburgh, the 29-year-old is expected to compete with DeShon Elliott for a starting safety position alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Browns terminate contract of S Juan Thornhill Thornhill played two seasons for the Browns beginning in 2023

MARCH 12, 2025 • CLEVELANDBROWNS.COM

In line to be released Thornhill said Monday that the Browns have informed him he will be released at the start of the new league year in March, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Thornhill will be designated a post-June 1 cut, a move that will save Cleveland $3.2 million against the cap for 2025. The veteran safety has one year remaining on the three-year, $21 million contract he inked with the team back in 2023. Thornhill struggled with injuries during his Browns tenure, playing just 11 regular-season games in each of his two campaigns with the team. Down the stretch in 2024, Thornhill found himself splitting defensive reps relatively evenly with Ronnie Hickman.

Suits up for 11 games in 2024 Thornhill racked up 49 tackles (31 solo) and three passes defensed across 11 regular-season appearances with the Browns in 2024.

Impact Thornhill has been limited to 11 regular-season games in both of his first seasons with the Browns, despite having logged 16 or more appearances in all four of his years with the Chiefs from 2019-22. He remains under contract with Cleveland for one more year, but at this point even if healthy, it's not a guarantee that the experienced safety will regain the playmaking ability that previously allowed him to rank as a fringe fantasy asset in IDP formats.

Chiefs and Browns at opposite ends of NFL spectrum as they meet 4 years after tight playoff matchup

The Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns were very similar when they met in the AFC playoffs four years ago

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • Associated Press

Returning for Week 14 Thornhill (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact A calf issue sidelined Thornhill for last Monday's loss against Denver, but the veteran safety will be able to return to action having missed just one contest. As a result, Ronnie Hickman could see less defensive snaps than he did last week. In the Browns' win over Pittsburgh in Week 12, Thornhill tallied seven tackles -- his second-highest total this season.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Thornhill (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thornhill was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, and he has given himself a chance to return from a one-game absence due to a calf injury. Rodney McLeod and Ronnie Hickman both saw increased snap counts on defense in Week 13 against the Broncos, and the duo would continue to see additional work Sunday if Thornhill were to be sidelined.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Thornhill (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill was sidelined for Week 13 against the Broncos due to a calf injury, and he was estimated as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report. Thornhill's return to practice Thursday indicates he is progressing through his recovery, and if he's able to practice Friday, he'll give himself a chance to play against the Steelers on Sunday.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP Thornhill (calf) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice estimate, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill was unable to practice all week leading up to this past Monday's game against the Broncos, which he is inactive for. The 2019 second-round pick will have two more chances this week to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's AFC North showdown against the Steelers. Thornhill has been sidelined for six of the Browns' 12 regular-season games due to a calf injury.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 13 Thornhill (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Broncos, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Thornhill may have aggravated his calf injury during the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers, which prevented him from practicing all week. His next opportunity to play will be Week 14 against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Dec. 8. In Thornhill's absence, Rodney McLeod and Ronnie Hickman are the top candidates to start at free safety alongside strong safety Grant Delpit.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice again Friday Thornhill (calf) was a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill has opened the week with a pair of DNPs due to a calf injury he suffered Monday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Thornhill is trending in the right direction for Monday Week 13 game, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site, but the veteran safety may need to practice in some capacity Saturday in order to be able to suit up against Denver. If he can't suit up, Ronnie Hickman may move into a starting role.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing calf injury Thornhill (calf) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill missed five regular-season games earlier in the year due to a calf injury, and it appears he may have aggravated the issue during the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers. Thornhill will have two opportunities this week to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Monday's game against Denver. In his five regular-season games since returning from injured reserve in Week 7, Thornhill has logged 23 tackles (12 solo) and one pass defense.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • Associated Press

Solid in divisional win Thornhill recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Thursday's 24-19 win versus the Steelers.

Impact He trailed in defensive snaps (32) behind veteran Rodney McLeod (37) for the second straight game in Week 12, but he posted his highest tackle total since Week 1 anyway. It remains to be seen whether that will translate to more involvement in Week 13 at Denver.
