Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Set for Sunday
Okoronkwo (illness) was a full participant during practice Wednesday.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Exits early
Okoronkwo (illness) has left Sunday's game against the Commanders, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Okoronkwo's exit will be a blow to the Browns' defensive line depth as they finish out Week 5 against the Commanders. While he's sidelined, Sam Kamara and Isaiah McGuire will likely see extra snaps on the edges.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Past head injury
Okoronkwo was cleared from concussion protocol Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Okoronkwo sustained a head injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win, but it appears he's already moved past the issue. The 29-year-old has yet to record a stat while playing 58 total snaps (37 defensive and 21 on special teams) across two games. Despite a slow start, Okoronkwo is expected to remain one of the Browns' top rotational edge rushers as the team takes on the Giants in Week 3.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Enters concussion protocols
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters after Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars that Okoronkwo (head) is being evaluated for a concussion, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Okoronkwo sustained a head injury on the Browns' final defensive series in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, and he finished the game without recording a tackle. His practice participation leading up to Week 3 against the Giants will be worth monitoring. If Okoronkwo is unable to suit up for the Browns' next game, then Alex Wright would serve as the primary backup defensive end behind starters Myles Garrett and Za'Darius Smith.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Delivers in first year
Okoronkwo recorded 31 tackles, 4.5 sacks, one pass defensed and a fumble recovery over 14 regular-season games for the Browns in 2023.
Okoronkwo parlayed a strong 2022 season with the Texans into a three-year deal in Cleveland, and the 28-year-old edge rusher gave maximum effort when not sidelined by injury. He showed that grit in returning from a December pectoral injury that initially appeared to be of the season-ending variety. Okoronkwo maintained a spot in the rotation at defensive end along with Myles Garrett and Za'Darius Smith. It looks like the Browns hit in Year 1 of the deal, and Okoronkwo should remain part of the edge rotation in 2024.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Returning Week 18
Okoronkwo (pectoral) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Kelsey Russo of the Browns official site reports.
Okoronkwo had missed Cleveland's last three games with this pectoral injury, but it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. The 28-year-old could very well start on the Browns' defensive line with Myles Garrett (shoulder/hamstring) missing the team's regular-season finale.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Won't play vs. Jets
Okoronkwo (pectoral) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Okoronkwo will be sidelined for his third straight game Thursday due to a pectoral tear. In his place, 2022 third-round pick Alex Wright will likely see an uptick in reps as the Browns' top edge rusher off the bench.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Out again Week 16
Okoronkwo (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Okoronkwo will miss a second game in a row due to the pectoral injury he suffered against the Jaguars in Week 14. Alex Wright will step into a more significant role on Cleveland's defense again Week 16 versus Houston.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Won't suit up vs. Bears
Okoronkwo (pectoral) is out for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Season likely over
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Okoronkwo will likely miss the remainder of the season with a pectoral tear, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Okoronkwo seemingly suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jaguars despite playing 49 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording two solo tackles and a sack. His potential absence in the weeks ahead will be a blow to the Browns' depth on the defensive line and lead to more opportunities for Alex Wright and Isaiah McGuire.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Logs sack Week 1
Okoronkwo recorded three tackles and one sack in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals.
