Mason Graham: Everything you need to know

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 draft 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.

Graham (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against Chicago. Graham logged a pair of DNPs to begin the week but was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday. That will be enough for him to take the field Sunday versus the Bears. Graham has had a big role in his rookie campaign, starting all 13 of the Browns' games to date and producing 34 tackles (including 0.5 sacks) and four defensed passes.

Graham (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Graham opened Cleveland's week of practice with consecutive DNPs but upgraded to a limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to play Sunday. 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. If he's unable to go in Week 15, Mike Hall would likely start on the Browns' defensive line.
