Overview
- Cleveland moved Avery and Jones up from the practice squad for Sunday’s matchup with the Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
- Greg Newsome II has a hamstring issue after a week of limited practices and is considered a game‑time decision.
- This is the second straight call‑up for both corners, and it is Jones’ final permitted practice‑squad elevation unless he is signed to the active roster.
- The Browns lead the NFL in fewest yards allowed through four weeks and rank first in both pass‑rush and run‑stop win rate.
- Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz may tweak coverages and lean on pressure packages against Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as Cleveland’s offense continues to lag at 14 points per game in a 1–3 start.
