Rayshawn Jenkins: Everything you need to know

Jenkins tallied 45 total tackles (19 solo), one interception and one forced fumble across 17 games in 2025. The 31-year-old from Miami has seen vast declines in several statistical categories over the past two seasons, recording fewer total tackles (101 to 45), sacks (1.0 to none), passes defensed (nine to one) and interceptions (two to one) compared to his 2023 campaign with the Jaguars. However, Jenkins played a much smaller role on the Browns' defense in 2025, logging just 276 defensive snaps, his lowest mark since the 2018 season. Set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Jenkins could find work as a reserve safety ahead of the 2026 season.

Jenkins (groin) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report. Jenkins was forced out of Cleveland's loss to the Patriots in Week 8 early due to a groin issue, but he returned to full health during the team's bye. He'll be available to handle reserve defensive reps and contribute on special teams during Sunday's road game against the Jets.

Jenkins (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 8 game against New England. Jenkins was deemed out with about 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Prior to his exit, he recorded four tackles (two solo). Jenkins has worked in a rotational role throughout the campaign, topping out at a 40 percent defensive snap share in Week 7 against Miami.
