Cleared to return to practice The Browns opened Davis' (quadriceps) 21-day practice window Tuesday.

Impact Davis opened the regular season on injured reserve after the fifth-year pro suffered a quadriceps injury during a training camp practice in late July. He's eligible to be activated from IR before Sunday's road game against the Jets, though Davis will likely need to log some full practices before getting the green light from the Browns to play. His return would bolster the Browns' interior defensive front, especially after 2025 first-rounder Mason Graham was diagnosed with an MCL and ankle sprain that he sustained during Cleveland's Week 4 win over Pittsburgh.

Lands on IR with quad injury The Browns placed Davis on injured reserve Tuesday due to a quadriceps injury.

Impact Davis sustained the injury during a training camp practice in late July, forcing him to miss all three of the Browns' preseason games. By opening the regular season on IR, the fifth-year defensive tackle will be required to miss at least four games, so Week 5 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11 is the earliest the Davis can see the field. Adin Huntington and Mike Hall will serve as the Browns' rotational options at defensive tackle behind starters Mason Graham and Maliek Collins for as long as Davis is sidelined.
