Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Earns rookie honors
Schwesinger (ankle) was named the 2025 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Schwesinger had a standout rookie season and quickly became a leader in the middle of Cleveland's defense. He logged 156 total tackles across 16 regular-season games, while also logging 2.5 sacks and two interceptions. Schwesinger missed the final game of the campaign with an ankle injury, but the issue is not expected to affect his preparation for his sophomore year as a pro.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Heads to IR with ankle injury
The Browns placed Schwesinger (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
Schwesinger was ruled out for the Browns' season finale Friday, but the move to injured reserve likely created space for Edefuan Ulofoshio to move up to the active roster. Schwesinger, a 2025 second-round pick, ends his stellar rookie campaign with 156 tackles (67 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including two interceptions. Jerome Baker will likely have an expanded role in Week 18 with Schwesinger out.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Missing season finale
Schwesinger (quadriceps/ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Schwesinger didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to quadricep and ankle injuries, and he's now in line to miss his first game of the season Sunday. The 2025 second-round pick from UCLA had a stellar rookie campaign, finishing with 156 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, over 16 appearances. Jerome Baker will likely have an expanded role in the Browns' linebacker corps while Schwesinger is sidelined in Week 18.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Held out of practice Wednesday
Schwesinger (quad/ankle) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Schwesinger has been managing an ankle issue since late November, and he was said to have played through a thigh injury this past Sunday in a win over Pittsburgh. He's now listed as also dealing with a quad issue, though it's not clear if it's related to the aforementioned thigh problem. Regardless, the dynamic rookie's practice status the remainder of the week should provide insight into how serious his injuries are. Cleveland doesn't have much to play for Week 18 against Cincinnati, but Schwesinger -- who has 156 tackles on the season -- does have an outside chance of reaching Patrick Willis' record for stops by a rookie (174).

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Played through injury
Schwesinger played through a thigh injury in Sunday's 13-6 win over Pittsburgh, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Schwesinger was clearly hobbled by the injury but was never removed from the game. The rookie linebacker played all 66 snaps on defense and another five on special teams. His nine tackles tied for team high and upped his season total to a team-leading 156 over 16 games. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Schwesinger is rehabbing and progressing in preparation for Sunday's season finale against the Bengals.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Continues impressive campaign
Schwesinger tallied 14 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a Week 16 loss to Buffalo on Sunday.
Schwesinger dealt with an ankle issue during the week but was on the field for all 50 of Cleveland's defensive snaps Sunday. The injury didn't impact his performance, as the talented rookie racked up a career-high 14 stops for the second straight week. Among his tackles was a third-down sack of Josh Allen in the fourth quarter that forced a Buffalo punt. Schwesinger is up to 147 stops, including 2.5 sacks, on the campaign. He also has three defensed passes, including two interceptions.

Schwesinger (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
The 22-year-old upgraded from limited practice Wednesday and Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his ankle issue in time to play Sunday. Schwesinger has had an incredible rookie campaign thus far, recording 133 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, over 14 contests. He's expected to serve as the Browns' top middle linebacker in Week 16.
