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.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Newsome is day-to-day due to a shoulder injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Newsome didn't play his typical workload in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints, and the injury helps explain why. The Northwestern product will likely be in line for limited practice activity this week before the Browns determine his status for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

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.

Coach Kevin Stefanski announced Thursday that Newsome, who's on the active/non-football injury list, recently had hamstring surgery and there remains hope he'll be ready for Week 1, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Newsome was injured while training away from the team this summer. It was severe enough that the cornerback needed surgery. Newsome is Cleveland's top nickel corner working out of the slot between Denzel Ward and Martin Emerson. CeeDee Lamb (contract dispute) is first up on the schedule for the Browns' cornerbacks in Week 1.

The Browns placed Newsome (hamstring) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday. The fourth-year cornerback seems to be dealing with a hamstring issue, but he's still eligible to practice or play at any point throughout the preseason despite his placement on the active/non-football injury list. Newsome is coming off the best season of his young career in 2023, appearing in 14 games and recording 49 total tackles, including four tackles for loss, while also defending 14 passes, with two interceptions. Expect the Northwestern product to play another pivotal role in the Browns' secondary once he returns to full health.
