Browns' Isaiah McGuire: Questionable with knee issue
Rotowire
McGuire (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
McGuire was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice before stringing consecutive limited sessions together to end the week.

If the 24-year-old is unable to go, Cameron Thomas would be in line to see more rotational snaps at defensive end.

Browns' Isaiah McGuire: Steps up in Year 2
Rotowire
McGuire racked up 36 tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, plus three forced fumbles across 16 regular-season appearances with the Browns in 2024.
McGuire ramped up his involvement on defense Year 2, managing to close out the campaign as a clear starter. The 2023 fourth-round pick suited up for just four games as a rookie, but he's now demonstrated a legitimate ability to contribute on defense. He'll spend the offseason looking to further his development in Cleveland's scheme.
