The Browns placed Newsome (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday. Newsome's season is over after suffering a hamstring during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. The 24-year-old ended his campaign totaling 27 tackles (24 solo) and an interception in 13 games played and in his absence, Rodney McLeod will likely take over as the team's slot corner.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Newsome (hamstring) will "miss time," but Stefanski was uncertain how long the cornerback will be sidelined, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Newsome limped off the field with 2:53 remaining in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers after feeling a "pop" in his hamstring. He previously injured the hamstring while training in the offseason, eventually requiring surgery and missing the entire preseason slate of games. With the Browns having been eliminated from the postseason following the Week 14 loss, it would not be surprising if Newsome is held out for the final four games. He has one interception, five passes defensed and 27 tackles through 13 games played.
Newsome injured his hamstring in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Newsome was able to finish out the contest, but he apparently picked up a hamstring injury in the process. He finished the game with two solo tackles. More clarity on his status will come during the week, but Cameron Mitchell would likely be next in line at slot cornerback if needed.
Newsome logged one solo tackle and two pass defenses (including an interception) during Monday's 41-32 loss to the Broncos. Newsome was in the right place at the right time early in the second quarter, when he caught a ball that was tipped by Denzel Ward on a pass intended for Troy Franklin, which led to a 45-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins nine plays later. It was Newsome's first interception of the 2024 campaign and his first since Week 14 of 2023.
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 linger 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.
Newsome (hamstring) went through a rehab assignment Thursday but remains out, Chris Easterling of The Akron Beacon Journal reports. The cornerback was placed on the active/non-football injury list after having hamstring surgery before training camp. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said at the beginning of camp that Newsome should be ready for Week 1, per Easterling. Newsome recorded 49 tackles and 14 passes defensed, including two interceptions, in 2023, all career highs.
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.
