Tough news for the Cleveland Browns and Pro-Bowler linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.
The linebacker has been placed on reserve/physically unable to perform list (PUP) and will miss the 2025 season. His future in the NFL is in doubt as he tries to battle back from a neck injury suffered in October 2024.

Owusu-Koramoah was injured in a collision with Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry on a play in the Oct. 27 game, that saw Cleveland upset the AFC North champions, 29-24. The Butkus Award winning linebacker was taken to a local hospital and kept overnight for observation.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry said in a statement, “Jeremiah has the full support of our team, and we expect him to continue to be a part of the organization even though he will not return to the field this year. We will not make any predictions on Jeremiah’s football future at this time, but we do note that he’s in good spirits and will continue to take the advice of the world-class medical experts who will continue to guide his progress and recovery.”
Owusu-Koramoah released a statement to the Browns fans:
A second-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2021, Owusu-Koramoah signed a three-year extension for $39 million last August. As a starter in the the 2024 season, he accounted for three sacks, one forced fumble, one interception and 9 tackles for losses.
