Cleveland Browns Injuries

ir

Wright picked up the injury during Thursday's joint practice with the Bills during a one-on-one drill with offensive tackle Spencer Brown. Follow-up tests revealed the extent of Wright's injury, which will sideline the 2022 third-rounder for the upcoming season. Isaiah McGuire is slated to start at defensive end opposite Jared Verse for the upcoming season, with the Browns adding depth to the position by signing Derek Barnett to a one-year contract.

Chatman hurt his quad in Cleveland's preseason finale and was subsequently waived/injured Sunday. He wasn't claimed on waivers, so he reverted to IR. That means Chatman will miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.

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.

Bell played in only one preseason contest due to an eye injury. He was waived/injured Sunday and went unclaimed, resulting on his placement on IR. Bell will need to sit out the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.

Ulofoshio suffered a biceps injury in Cleveland's final preseason contest Thursday and was waived/injured Sunday. He went unclaimed on waivers and consequently reverted to injured reserve. As a result, Ulofoshio won't be able to play during the 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.

It's unclear exactly how much time Sampson will miss. He is expected back this season, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, but his placement on IR means he will miss at least the next four games. Jaleel McLaughlin was brought up from the practice squad, and both he and Raheim Sanders -- who played 18 snaps on offense and got four touches Sunday after Sampson's exit -- will work behind starter Quinshon Judkins.

Jenkins was also unable to suit up in Week 1 due to his lingering back injury, and now he'll have to wait at least one more week before making his season debut. Rookie third-rounder Austin Barber should again start at right guard in Jenkins' place in Week 2.

Royer has been designated to return to the team but will be required to miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. The rookie fifth-rounder missed the entirety of the preseason due to a personal issue. It remains unclear when the tight end will be ready to return to football.

Per Petrak, Coats needed assistance to leave the practice field and was not putting any weight on his right leg. Until Coats is able to return to action, free-agent acquisition Tyler Hall could see an uptick in reps in the secondary.

Campbell didn't practice Thursday but logged a limited session Friday, so there's hope concerning his availability against the Buccaneers. If the ankle injury prevents Campbell from getting on the field, Noah Igbinoghene or Mekhi Blackmon may fill in and line up opposite Denzel Ward.

Watson has now fully recovered from the biceps injury that forced him to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old will spend the remainder of the summer competing for the backup middle linebacker role behind Carson Schwesinger.

Concepcion was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain after a hard fall at Monday's practice, but it was apparently only a minor sprain, considering he returned to team drills Wednesday. The report notes that he made a leaping catch at Thursday's practice without any visible aggravation of the injury. Concepcion is competing for a top-three role at WR and looks on track to make at least one appearance during the NFL preseason.

Monken said more information will be known Wednesday, which would suggest he's playing coy since the Browns aren't required to provide any update until an injury report needs to be released Wednesday. Sampson was on crutches after Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, so he's likely looking at some missed time at least. Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders handled backfield duties with Sampson sidelined.

Gabriel has been placed on injured reserve to begin the season, so he'll be required to miss at least the first four games of 2026. It sounds like it was more of a procedural move by Cleveland to buy the team more time to sort out its quarterback situation, one that also involves starter Deshaun Watson and current backups Shedeur Sanders and rookie Taylen Green. Gabriel showed enough in the preseason to warrant a roster spot, either in Cleveland or elsewhere.

Ulofoshio suffered a biceps injury in Cleveland's final preseason contest Thursday and was waived/injured Sunday. He went unclaimed on waivers and consequently reverted to injured reserve. As a result, Ulofoshio won't be able to play during the 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.

Royer's absence Thursday means the tight end missed the entirety of the preseason due to a personal issue. The fifth-round tight end out of Cincinnati's current status within the organization is unclear, and it remains to be seen whether he will be a casualty of Sunday's roster cutdown.

The linebacker went to the locker room before being ruled out, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. Ulofoshio did not record a stat before exiting. The former Bill is fighting for a roster spot in Cleveland.

Chatman exited the game in the second quarter and was promptly ruled out. The former Jets defensive tackle is on the roster bubble as it is, and the injury increases the chances Chatman will be a victim of Sunday's cutdown day.

Per Petrak, Coats needed assistance to leave the practice field and was not putting any weight on his right leg. Until Coats is able to return to action, free-agent acquisition Tyler Hall could see an uptick in reps in the secondary.

Collins sustained a quadriceps injury in early December 2025 during a game against the 49ers. The starting defensive tackle has apparently not recovered from the issue and will require additional time to heal before taking the field once again.
