Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Swaim has entered concussion protocol and won't play Thursday against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Swaim presumably suffered the concussion at some point during the Browns' 35-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday, when he went without a target across nine snaps on offense in addition to playing 13 snaps on special teams. With the Browns facing a quick turnaround for their Week 12 game, it's no surprise that Swaim is already being ruled out from clearing the five-step protocol in time to suit up versus Pittsburgh.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Swaim has entered concussion protocol and won't play Thursday against the Steelers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Swaim presumably suffered the concussion at some point during the Browns' 35-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday, when he went without a target across nine snaps on offense in addition to playing 13 snaps on special teams. With the Browns facing a quick turnaround for their Week 12 game, it's no surprise that Swaim is already being ruled out from clearing the five-step protocol in time to suit up versus Pittsburgh.
Swaim caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over Baltimore in Week 8. The target was Swaim's first in six games with the Browns. The 31-year-old has worked his way from the practice squad onto the active roster and out-snapped Jordan Akins for a fourth consecutive game. Neither backup can expect much of a workload while David Njoku is healthy.
The Browns signed Swaim to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday. Swaim had been elevated for Cleveland's past three contests, so the Browns had to sign the veteran tight end to the 53-man roster in order for him to be available for Sunday's road matchup against the Eagles. In those three games Swaim has played 10, 24 and 20 offensive snaps, respectively, but he's yet to earn his first target of the season.
Swaim reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Swaim played 21 offensive snaps in Week 5 against Washington, failing to garner a target in the team's 34-13 loss. The tight end will need to be signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game with Cleveland this season.
The Browns elevated Swaim from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Swaim will be elevated for a third straight week to provide depth at tight end in case David Njoku (ankle) is unable to play Sunday against the Commanders. This is the last time Cleveland can call Swaim up from the practice squad, and even if he's inactive for Sunday's contest, he would need to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up for the Browns moving forward.
Swaim reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Monday. Swaim saw playing time on both offense and special teams during Sunday's loss to the Raiders but failed to record any stats. He could be elevated again next week versus the Commanders if David Njoku remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
The Browns elevated Swaim to their active roster Saturday. Swain is joining the Browns' active roster for the second consecutive game after playing 18 total snaps (10 offensive and eight on special teams) during Cleveland's Week 3 loss to the Giants. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in the Browns' tight end room while also contributing on special teams in Week 4.
Swaim reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. The tight end was elevated to the active roster Saturday with starter David Njoku nursing an ankle injury. Swaim played 10 offensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps in Cleveland's 21-15 loss to the Giants. Jordan Akins led the Browns' tight end group with 45 offensive snaps while Blake Whiteheart played 18.
The Browns elevated Swaim from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Swaim wasn't able to catch on with a team during the offseason or training camp while recovering from a calf injury he sustained last December. He signed with the Browns' practice squad Sept. 10, and he'll be elevated for Week 3 against the Giants due to David Njoku (ankle) being ruled out. If active, Swaim will serve as the Browns' No. 3 tight end Sunday behind Jordan Akins and Blake Whiteheart.
