Update on Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

Berry provided an update on LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah‘s playing status for the upcoming 2026 season after he was placed on reserve/physically unable to perform list in May 2025 and missed the 2025 season.

“We are dealing with Jeremiah from month to month,” Berry said. “I’m not necessarily overly optimistic. But there isn’t a hard deadline for which we have to make some type of binding decision. “

Owusu-Koramoah first sustained a neck injury in Week 8 of the 2024 season against the Ravens after a collision with RB Derrick Henry. He was carted off the field and taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, then later released from the hospital following that evaluation. He missed the remainder of the 2024 season.

The Pro Bowl linebacker has appeared in 49 career games and recorded 302 tackles, eight sacks, three interceptions, 17 passes defensed, six forced fumbles and 40 tackles for loss. He was drafted by the Browns as a second-round pick in 2021.

Other injury updates

Berry also touched on the progress of other players who were injured during the 2025 season, including OT Dawand Jones, RB Quinshon Judkins and C Ethan Pocic.

Jones sustained a Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) tear and hamstring avulsion in Week 3, an injury that required surgery and caused him to miss the remainder of the season.

“He’s progressing well. He’s been in there every day,” Berry said of Jones. “He’s done a really nice job with his rehab and he’s right on track.”

Judkins fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in Week 16, injuries that required surgery and caused him to miss the final two games of the season. However, Berry believes it is realistic for Judkins to be ready for camp.

“He’s made really nice progress. He’s in the training room every day,” Berry said of Judkins. “He’s out of the boot. He’s actually started his pool running and everything like that, so he’s done a really nice job with his recovery. “

Pocic tore his Achilles in Week 14 and missed the final four games of the season. Pocic is also set to be an unrestricted free agent when free agency begins on March 11.

“I actually got a text from Ethan last week. His last checkup was a really positive update. (Pocic) will do everything in his power to make sure that he gets back to full health, and he’ll work his tail off,” Berry said. “I’d say like everything’s on the table depending on how these different player markets shake out, but I wouldn’t necessarily commit to one firm thing either way.”
