The Browns placed Owusu-Koramoah (neck) on the reserve/PUP list Monday. The 2021 second-round pick from Notre Dame missed the Browns' final nine games in 2024 due to a neck injury, and he'll now 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.

The Browns' selection of Carson Schwesinger with the 33rd overall pick in the NFL Draft suggests the club does not expect Owusu-Koramoah (neck) to be available to play in 2025, Zac Jackson and RJ Kraft of The Athletic report. Given multiple needs on offense, that the Browns took a linebacker this high in the draft potentially means Owusu-Koramoah is not expected back following a serious neck injury. There has been little update on his prognosis during the offseason. Following the selection of Schwesinger, the Browns addressed needs at tight end, running back and quarterback through the draft already.

Owusu-Koramoah (neck) is present Tuesday for the start of voluntary OTAs, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports. Owusu-Koramoah's activity level has yet to be disclosed, and his attendance doesn't necessarily indicate he's been cleared for on-field activities. The 25-year-old linebacker suffered a season-ending neck injury last October after colliding with Derrick Henry, and Browns general manager Andrew Berry referred to Owusu-Koramoah's recovery progress as "nebulous" last Thursday. Officially, he still remains without a timeline for his return, which could remain the case until training camp.

Browns GM Andrew Berry said Sunday that there's still no timeframe on Owusu-Koramoah's recovery from his season-ending neck injury, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Berry added that Owusu-Koramoah is progressing in a positive direction, but it's still "week to week and month to month" when determining when/if he'll return for the 2025 season. 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.

There's uncertainty regarding whether Owusu-Koramoah (neck) will resume his career after this season, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Owusu-Koramoah was checked into the hospital after suffering a scary neck injury in Week 8 versus the Ravens, and he subsequently missed Cleveland's last nine games of the season. He was never designated to return to practice, and there's still no timetable for a theoretical return.
