Browns Rookie LB Carson Schwesinger Diagnosed With High-Ankle Sprain, Considered Week-to-Week

The team will reassess after the Week 9 bye with no immediate plan for injured reserve.

Overview

  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski called Carson Schwesinger's status week-to-week following an MRI that confirmed a high-ankle sprain.
  • Schwesinger will be reevaluated after Cleveland's Week 9 bye, and team guidance does not currently point to an injured reserve move.
  • Multiple reports say the sprain is not believed to be major, though high-ankle injuries often require several weeks of recovery.
  • The rookie leads the Browns with 64 tackles and logged his first NFL interception against the Patriots before exiting in the fourth quarter.
  • If he misses games, a thin linebacker group will push Jerome Baker and Mohamoud Diabate into larger roles alongside Devin Bush.
