Overview

  • Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah suffered a serious neck injury in a collision with Derrick Henry during a Week 8 game in October 2024, leading to his hospitalization and eventual placement on injured reserve.
  • The Cleveland Browns announced on May 12, 2025, that Owusu-Koramoah has been placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform (PUP) list, ruling him out for the entire 2025 season.
  • General manager Andrew Berry emphasized the team’s commitment to Owusu-Koramoah’s health, stating that no predictions will be made about his football future at this time.
  • Owusu-Koramoah, a 2023 Pro Bowler and key defensive leader, signed a three-year, $39 million contract extension last August, providing financial security amid his uncertain recovery timeline.
  • The Browns have bolstered their linebacker corps through offseason moves, including drafting UCLA’s Carson Schwesinger and signing veteran players, to address the void left by Owusu-Koramoah’s absence.
