The Browns placed Newsome (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday. Newsome's season is over after suffering a hamstring during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. The 24-year-old ended his campaign totaling 27 tackles (24 solo) and an interception in 13 games played and in his absence, Rodney McLeod will likely take over as the team's slot corner.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Newsome (hamstring) will "miss time," but Stefanski was uncertain how long the cornerback will be sidelined, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Newsome limped off the field with 2:53 remaining in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers after feeling a "pop" in his hamstring. He previously injured the hamstring while training in the offseason, eventually requiring surgery and missing the entire preseason slate of games. With the Browns having been eliminated from the postseason following the Week 14 loss, it would not be surprising if Newsome is held out for the final four games. He has one interception, five passes defensed and 27 tackles through 13 games played.

Newsome injured his hamstring in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Newsome was able to finish out the contest, but he apparently picked up a hamstring injury in the process. He finished the game with two solo tackles. More clarity on his status will come during the week, but Cameron Mitchell would likely be next in line at slot cornerback if needed.

Newsome (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game versus the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Newsome was limited by a shoulder injury in Cleveland's contest at New Orleans in Week 11, but he didn't incur any setbacks during the week and will play again Thursday. It is possible that he could still be working on a reduced snap count, though, potentially opening up more opportunities for 2023 fifth-rounder Cameron Mitchell.

Newsome (hamstring) passed his physical Monday and has been removed from the active/non-football injury list. Newsome missed the entire preseason due to a lingering hamstring injury, but he's now clear to resume practicing. Coach Kevin Stefanski said early in camp that Newsome is still on track for Week 1, and the 2021 first-round pick now has two weeks left to ramp up his activity ahead of Cleveland's regular-season opener against the Cowboys on Sept. 8.
