What happened
The Cleveland Browns have placed linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on the reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, per a team announcement relayed by @RapSheet. It marks the second consecutive season Owusu-Koramoah lands on reserve/PUP with a neck issue. The designation removes him from the active roster as the team enters its 2026 offseason program.
Why it matters
Reserve/PUP in the offseason signals real concern about availability for the regular season, not a short-term absence. For a Browns defense that has leaned on Owusu-Koramoah as a versatile second-level defender, back-to-back PUP stints raise questions about his long-term outlook and Cleveland's linebacker depth heading into 2026. Fans on the timeline are already pushing the front office to consider a release or trade given the recurring neck concern.
What to watch
Watch for an update on Owusu-Koramoah's medical timeline and whether the Browns add a veteran linebacker in free agency to backfill the role. Any move toward a release or injury settlement would be the next escalation.
