Diabate finished Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles with seven tackles (four solo). Diabate missed the last four regular-season games while on injured reserve due to a hip injury. He saw a heavy workload immediately as he served as the starting middle linebacker Saturday due to Jordan Hicks (elbow) being inactive. Diabate should start again in Week 7 against the Bengals if Hicks cannot suit up.

Diabate finished Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles with seven tackles (four solo). Diabate missed the last four regular-season games while on injured reserve due to a hip injury. He saw a heavy workload immediately as he served as the starting middle linebacker Saturday due to Jordan Hicks (elbow) being inactive. Diabate should start again in Week 7 against the Bengals if Hicks cannot suit up.
Diabate (hip) is active Week 6 against the Eagles. Diabate hasn't seen the field since serving primarily on special teams in Week 1, but he was activated from the IR on Saturday and could be tasked with a meaningful role given starting middle linebacker Jordan Hicks (elbow) is inactive for the contest.
The Browns activated Diabate (hip) off IR on Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Diabate hurt his hip Week 1 against Dallas and was subsequently placed on IR. He was designated to return this past Wednesday and logged a limited practice both Wednesday and Thursday before recording a full session Friday. Diabate thus seems set to return Sunday versus Philadelphia, which could be an important development for the Browns since Jordan Hicks is questionable for the contest -- and may not play a full slate of snaps if he does suit up -- due to an elbow injury.
Diabate (hip) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Diabate had missed Cleveland's last four contests after suffering a hip injury during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, but it appears he'll be returning to the field soon. Cleveland now has 21 days to activate Diabate to its active roster before he reverts to IR. Expect the 23-year-old to serve as a depth piece in the Browns' middle linebacker corps once he's fully past his hip issue.
Diabate (hip) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Diabate suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and was initially considered week-to-week. The Utah product is now guaranteed to miss at least the next four games before being eligible to return to the active roster. Considering his initial diagnosis, it's likely Diabate won't miss much more time than that.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Diabate (hip) is considered week-to-week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. The Utah product played 27 total snaps (21 on special teams and six defensive) and logged two total tackles before exiting Sunday's contest with a hip injury. If Diabate misses the Browns' Week 2 affair with this issue, expect Nathaniel Watson to see more work as a rotational inside linebacker.
Diabate won't return to Sunday's game against Dallas after suffering a hip injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Diabate was ruled out in the middle of the third quarter. Prior to his exit, the linebacker notched two tackles (one solo). Diabate's status for next Sunday's matchup with Jacksonville should become clearer during the practice week.
