Graham had 49 tackles (seven for loss), 0.5 sacks and four passes defensed over 17 regular-season games in 2025.
It was a quiet rookie season for Graham, the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, who toiled away on the interior in the shadow of edge rusher Myles Garrett. He was also overshadowed by fellow rookie and linebacker Carson Schwesinger (ankle), who led the team with 156 tackles, but Graham was a steady presence at defensive tackle. His 763 snaps led all rookie interior linemen, and he finished second on the team in quarterback pressures (36) behind Garrett. Graham did enough to earn a nod on the All-Rookie team.

Rotowire
Graham (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The Michigan product has had an impressive rookie campaign thus far, recording 34 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and four passes defensed across 13 appearances.

Rotowire
Graham (rib) won't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Graham played through this rib injury in the Week 14 loss to Tennessee after being sidelined at Friday's practice, and his 68 percent snap share was right in line with his season average of 71 percent. The starting defensive tackle has two opportunities left to resume practicing before Sunday's game against the Bears.

Browns' Mason Graham: Questionable with rib injury
Rotowire
Graham (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Graham was able to log only a single limited practice Thursday and downgraded to a non-participant Friday. The reduction in participation is a red flag for the defensive tackle's ability to play Sunday, but the Browns' defensive line depth situation may swing the needle. Without the rookie first-rounder, the Browns have only two healthy defensive tackles cleared for Sunday on the roster, Shelby Harris and Sam Kamara. If Graham and fellow tackle Mike Hall (knee) are unable to suit up, Simeon Barrow is a Week 14 candidate for a practice squad elevation.

Browns' Mason Graham: Limited with rib issue
Rotowire
Graham (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Graham did not appear on Wednesday's injury report, which indicates that the rib issue is a new one. The downgrade to limited participation Thursday isn't ideal, but it doesn't significantly diminish Graham's chances of suiting up for Sunday's contest against the Titans. With Mike Hall (knee) and Adin Huntington (quadriceps) questionable and Maliek Collins' (quadriceps) placement on injured reserve Tuesday, Graham's availability is crucial to the Browns' defensive line. If the defensive tackle is unable to go, Shelby Harris and Sam Kamara will likely start on the interior of Cleveland's defensive line Sunday.

Browns' Mason Graham: Limited to open week
Rotowire

The rookie first-rounder was cleared to play through a knee injury during the Browns' Week 7 win over the Dolphins, when he finished with three solo tackles and one pass defense while logging 43 defensive snaps.

Browns' Mason Graham: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Graham (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Graham landed on the injury report Thursday with a knee injury and was considered day-to-day. He's quickly moved past the minor injury and will give it a go in Week 7. After a quick start to his rookie season (11 tackles and 0.5 sacks in three games), Graham has cooled off, notching only three tackles in 132 defensive snaps over the past three weeks.
