In 49 games, Owusu-Koramoah amassed 308 tackles, eight sacks, 14 quarterback hits, and 40 tackles for loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He also continued to make an impact off the field, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/2024\/2\/19\/24077587\/cleveland-browns-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah-youth-football-camp-accra-ghana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">most notably through an annual football camp in Accra, Ghana<\/a>, through his Natural Knowledge Wisdom Advancement (NKWA) foundation, which seeks to provide equal opportunities and education to student-athletes while emphasizing the importance of a well-rounded mind, body, and spirit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In addition to the work he does through his foundation, Owusu-Koramoah has also been an active participant in NFL Africa: The Touchdown, a league-sponsored initiative that includes a talent identification camp, fan events, and a flag football clinic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If this is truly the end of his career, Owusu-Koramoah will be missed by the Browns and their fans. But his continued community service to the game of football and his ancestral home mean that the NFL has not heard the last of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has been sidelined since the middle of the 2024 season after suffering a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":768202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[86,85,54,1864,2337,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-768201","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-browns","9":"tag-cleveland","10":"tag-cleveland-browns","11":"tag-cleveland-browns-news","12":"tag-clevelandbrowns","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116112627148581857","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=768201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/768202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=768201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=768201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
