Browns Place Linebacker Owusu-Koramoah on PUP for 2025 Season Due to Neck Injury

The Cleveland Browns have officially placed linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list for the 2025 season due to a serious neck injury sustained in Week 8 of the 2024 season during a collision with Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry. Owusu-Koramoah, who was a standout player with 101 tackles in 2023 and a Pro Bowl selection, missed the final nine games of the 2024 season and will now miss the entire upcoming campaign while continuing his recovery under expert medical guidance. Browns general manager Andrew Berry emphasized the team's full support for Owusu-Koramoah and noted that no predictions will be made about his football future at this time, though the linebacker remains in good spirits and is focused on healing. The Browns have drafted UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger and re-signed Devin Bush and Jerome Baker to bolster their linebacker corps in Owusu-Koramoah's absence. Owusu-Koramoah released a statement expressing gratitude for the support he has received and his commitment to recovery, community service, and supporting his teammates despite the uncertainty of his playing future. This development is a significant blow to the Browns' defense, which now must rely on new and existing players to fill the void left by Owusu-Koramoah's absence.
