Owusu-Koramoah's Neck Injury Ends His Season Before It Started, and the Browns' Defense Takes Another Hit
Cleveland's defense just took a massive blow. The Browns have placed linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on the reserve/physically unable to perform list for the 2026 season, meaning he's done before training camp even starts. This is his second straight year sidelined by the same neck injury that's kept him off the field since October 2024.
When the Injury Happened
Owusu-Koramoah's nightmare started back in October 2024 when he was briefly hospitalized with a neck injury while attempting to tackle Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry. That hit changed everything for the Browns linebacker. Now, nearly two years later, he still can't get back on the field.

The Browns are going into the 2026 season without one of their defensive anchors. Owusu-Koramoah hasn't played competitive football in almost two years, and now the team has to move forward without him. This isn't just about losing a single player. This is about continuity, leadership, and defensive cohesion at a position that demands both. For a team trying to compete, losing a linebacker of his caliber to a recurring injury is the kind of setback that forces you to adjust your entire defensive scheme and rebuild depth at the position.
