Owusu-Koramoah, a 2023 Pro Bowler, has not played since the injury sidelined him for the remainder of that season and all of 2025. Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot had suggested it was unlikely he’d return to the field, fueling questions about his long-term status. The veteran defender has remained active in recovery discussions, while the team has continued to rehab his condition with medical staff.

Note: The original article detailed Owusu-Koramoah’s impact in 2023, his three-year extension signed in 2024, and his emotional message at the time he was placed on reserve/PUP, emphasizing his commitment to healing, his faith, and his support system. It highlighted his on-field versatility and his role in Cleveland’s defense prior to the injury.
Carrying the weight of his absence last season was rookie Carson Schwesinger, who emerged as a defensive frontrunner and later earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors after starting 16 games and posting standout tackle numbers. Schwesinger has spoken warmly of Owusu-Koramoah, saying he hopes to learn from him and emulate his leadership as he integrates into the Browns’ system.
The Browns are also counting on veteran Devin Bush to help stabilize the linebacker corps, with Bush contributing significant tackling production and veteran experience. Browns observers will be watching closely for any updates on Owusu-Koramoah’s status, as his return would influence the team’s defensive plans and leadership dynamic moving forward.
This summary reflects a developing situation surrounding Owusu-Koramoah’s health and potential return, alongside the team’s ongoing efforts to build a productive, versatile linebacker group in Cleveland.
