Out against Carolina
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 8:22 PM
Jenkins (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jenkins continues to battle a back injury, and considering he hasn't been practicing, it's unknown when he will be ready to go. While Jenkins is out of commission, Austin Barber remains in line to start. |

Questionable for Week 3 vs. Carolina
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 5:38 PM
Delpit (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Delpit was a limited participant in all three practices this past week while tending to a shoulder issue. If he's unable to play against Carolina, then rookie second-rounder Emmanuel McNeil-Warren would be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Ronnie Hickman. Delpit has eight tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense through two regular-season games. |

Tagged as questionable for Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 5:35 PM
Campbell (ankle/hip/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Campbell was limited in practice all week due to multiple lower-body issues, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Browns announce their list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Toriano Pride and Mekhi Blackmon would be the top candidates to start at outside corner opposite Denzel Ward if Campbell is not cleared to play against Carolina. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Clear of injury report
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 2:09 PM
Judkins (personal) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against Carolina, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone.com reports.
Analysis: Judkins returned to full practice participation Friday after being limited Thursday due to a personal matter. He should be fine to handle his usual role as Cleveland's lead runner Sunday against the Panthers. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Back at practice Friday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 11:10 AM
Judkins (personal) was in uniform for the start of Friday's practice, Zac Jackson reports.
Analysis: After being listed as a limited participant Thursday due to a personal matter, Judkins likely will return to full participation Friday. There's been no indication that he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's matchup with Carolina. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Limited for personal reasons Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 3:35 PM
Judkins (personal) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear what personal matter kept Judkins from practicing without limitations Thursday, but Cleveland's starting running back isn't dealing with an injury. If Judkins can get back to full participation Friday, he'll likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Raheim Sanders and Jaleel McLaughlin are the healthy alternatives in Cleveland's backfield since Dylan Sampson (knee) is on IR. |

Limited at practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 6:15 PM
Campbell (ankle/hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Campbell played through his ankle issue during Sunday's win at Tampa Bay, and it's a generally encouraging sign that the hip injury that took him out of that contest early isn't keeping him off the practice field entirely. He'll likely need to quickly recover from both injuries and log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. |

Blake Whiteheart Blake Whiteheart Two targets in win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 10:10 PM
Whiteheart caught one of his two targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Whiteheart played 27 of the Browns' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The tight end also contributed on 15 special-teams snaps. Whiteheart is the second option at tight end behind Harold Fanin but plays a significant role in the team's run game. |
|
Jaleel McLaughlin Jaleel McLaughlin One carry in win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 10:06 PM
McLaughlin logged one carry for three yards and could not catch his sole target in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: McLaughlin saw just eight offensive snaps in Sunday's win. The running back was signed to the active roster from the practice squad Sept. 15 after Dylan Sampson (knee) was placed on injured reserve. McLaughlin appears to be fulfilling a purely depth role behind Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders until Sampson is fit to return. |

Raheim Sanders Raheim Sanders Catches sole target in win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 10:03 PM
Sanders caught his sole target for seven yards, had two rushes for four yards and returned two kicks for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Sanders played 11 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. Despite the small snap share, Sanders found plenty to do in Cleveland's first win of the season, making key plays for both the offensive and special teams units. |

Browns' leading tackler in win
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 7:49 PM
Schwesinger recorded 10 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 23-19 win at Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Schwesinger followed up his strong Week 1 performance with a virtual repeat in Week 2, and he has now recorded 10-plus tackles in nine of his last 10 games going back to last season. He's an elite IDP option in most formats going into a Week 3 matchup versus the Panthers. |

Exits with multiple injuries
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 6:06 PM
Campbell (ankle/hip) exited Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers and did not return to the contest, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone reported Tuesday.
Analysis: Campbell entered Sunday's contest playing through an ankle issue. The cornerback picked up an additional hip injury that knocked him out of the game early. Campbell's participation level in Wednesday's practice should begin to offer some clarity of whether the cornerback will have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Panthers. |

Jerry Jeudy Jerry Jeudy Blanked by Tampa Bay
Mon, Sep 21, 2026, 6:30 PM
Jeudy failed to haul in his lone target during the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Jeudy couldn't improve on his 2-26-0 receiving line (on four targets) during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. The seventh-year pro played 34 of 58 offensive snaps Sunday (58.6 percent), third-most among Cleveland wide receivers behind rookies Denzel Boston (54) and KC Concepcion (38). Jeudy finished the 2025 regular season with the second-most receiving yards on the Browns, but it appears Boston, Concepcion, tight end Harold Fannin and even running back Quinshon Judkins are the preferred targets for Deshaun Watson to open the season. Jeudy will look for better results in Cleveland's home opener against Carolina on Sept. 27. |

KC Concepcion Jr. KC Concepcion Jr. Turns seven touches into just 22 yards
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 9:55 PM
Concepcion caught all six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Bucs. He added one rushing attempt for minus-6 yards.
Analysis: Concepcion's six targets tied Harold Fannin for second on the team, finishing one behind Denzel Boston, who proved again to be the big-play threat for the Browns, finishing with a 5-95-1 receiving line. Concepcion is running the majority of his routes from the slot, but his average depth of target was a microscopic 1.8 yards Sunday. It's going to be difficult to produce big yards when catching the ball basically at the line of scrimmage. Through two games, Concepcion has 10 catches for 71 scoreless yards on 11 targets. He gets a boost in PPR formats as a WR4/5 headed into next Sunday's date with the Panthers. |

Denzel Boston Denzel Boston Scores another long TD in upset win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 7:59 PM
Boston caught five of seven targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 23-19 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Analysis: Boston's big play was a 55-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to pull the Browns even with the Bucs at 16-16. The rookie wideout caught a deep crosser and spun off several would-be tackles and dashed to the end zone. It was Boston's second long touchdown in as many weeks to begin his pro career. Through two games, the second-round pick has seven catches for 154 yards and two scores on 11 targets. He's shaping up as a boom-or-bust fantasy WR4 headed into next Sunday's home date with the Panthers. |

Andre Szmyt Andre Szmyt Converts all five kicks vs. Tampa Bay
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 7:00 PM
Szmyt made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Szmyt tied things up at 3-3 with a 50-yard field goal midway through the first quarter before connecting on two, 34-yard field goals across the next two frames. It was the first time since Week 11 of the 2025 season that Szmyt connected on three field goals, and his production will fluctuate on a week-to-week basis given the Browns' inconsistency on offense. He's made all seven of his kicking attempts (four field goals, three extra points) through the first two games of the 2026 regular season. |

Deshaun Watson Deshaun Watson Makes strong case in upset win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 6:21 PM
Watson completed 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding seven rushes for 22 yards in the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The proverbial vultures seemed to be surrounding Watson already after an ugly Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, but the oft-maligned veteran signal-caller preserved his starting job for the moment with Sunday's weather-delayed upset victory. Watson ran the Browns offense with a steady hand throughout the afternoon, avoiding turnovers while navigating a pair of sacks and connecting with Denzel Boston (55 yards) and Blake Whiteheart (17 yards) for his pair of touchdown passes. Watson has completed a stellar 76.9 percent of his passes and posted a 3:1 TD:INT through two games, and he'll next take on the Panthers in a Week 3 home matchup next Sunday. |

Harold Fannin Jr. Harold Fannin Jr. Contributes five catches in win
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 6:06 PM
Fannin secured five of six targets for 54 yards in the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The second-year tight end bounced back from a quiet Week 1 to post a productive stat line Sunday akin to many he'd generated during an impressive 2025 rookie campaign. Fannin tied for second on the day in receptions and targets for Cleveland while also checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards, serving as a frequent security blanket for Deshaun Watson. Fannin should continue seeing plenty of opportunity as his chemistry with Watson grows, and he'll next take aim at the Panthers defense in Week 3 home matchup. |

Quinshon Judkins Quinshon Judkins Inefficient with 17 touches
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 5:58 PM
Judkins rushed 12 times for 21 yards and brought in all five targets for 27 yards in the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Judkins once again handled a clear No. 1 role in Cleveland's ground attack, but he unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against the Buccaneers' stout defensive front. The second-year back was able to make up for the lack of rushing production to an extent with his work as a receiver, which saw him tie for the second-most receptions on the afternoon for the Browns. Judkins is averaging a meager 2.3 yards per carry through the first two games, but he has a useful 7-44-0 receiving line on seven targets in that same span as a Week 3 home matchup against the Panthers approaches next Sunday. |

Ready for Week 2
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 11:04 AM
Campbell (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Campbell was able to upgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice after missing Thursday's session with an ankle injury. The starting outside cornerback has evidently been able to recover enough from the issue to suit up for Sunday's contest. |
