11+ mon, 2+ week ago (628+ words) Greg Newsome II's season is over. So is Kadarius Toney's time with the Browns. The Browns (3-10) placed Newsome, the No. 3 cornerback, on injured reserve Tuesday after he felt his hamstring "pop" in the final minutes of the 27-14 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. Four games remain in the season, and being placed on IR requires a minimum four-game stay. Analysis: Jameis Winston should start rest of season to see if he can cut down on INTs, earn spot for 2025 The Browns waived Toney after a disastrous finish vs. the Steelers. The receiver/returner was the No. 20 pick of the Giants in 2021. He spent much of the season on the practice squad before being signed to the active roster last week. In the fourth quarter Sunday he was called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty and muffed a punt that the Steelers…...

Receiver Cedric Tillman didn't clear concussion protocol Friday and was ruled out. He practiced all week on a limited basis but will miss his third straight game. A Myles-stone within reach: Garrett needs half-sack of Patrick Mahomes to reach 100 The Browns were holding out hope Pro Bowl tight end David Njoku (hamstring) will be able to play. He didn't practice all week but was listed as questionable. "It's tight," he said. "But I'm trying." Left guard Joel Bitonio (back) was also listed as questionable. He returned to practice in a limited role after missing Wednesday and Thursday. Since the start of 2017 he's missed only one game due to…...

Steelers receiver George Pickens (hamstring) is inactive after being listed as questionable. He was added to the injury report Friday and limited in practice. Coach Mike Tomlin sounded optimistic before the game he would play, telling CBS the team would monitor Pickens to see if they needed to manage his repetitions. Pickens is Pittsburgh's top receiver and a lightning rod for controversy. He has 55 catches for 850 yards, a 15.5 average and three touchdowns. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Thornhill didn't play Monday night in the loss to the Broncos, was limited Thursday and Friday in practice and was listed as questionable. He was injured in practice Nov. 25. Jedrick Wills Jr. placed on IR, likely ending his career with Browns Thornhill has missed time…...

11+ mon, 4+ week ago (955+ words) (Three points of interest in Monday night's game) The game plan for the Browns must start with making sure Jameis Winston has time to throw. The Broncos lead the league with 44 sacks, while the Browns have allowed a league-high 47. If the trends hold true, it will be a long night for Winston and the Browns. "They have four or five guys that are really getting after the passer and they rush well together because their ends get around the edge and their inside guys have been pushing the pocket pretty well," left guard Joel Bitonio said. "So they've fed off each other a lot. We're just trying to be elite in our operation and fundamentally sound."

11+ mon, 2+ week ago (1185+ words) CLEVELAND " Kevin Stefanski couldn't take it anymore. After preaching the importance of taking care of the ball since the start of training camp, the Browns coach had seen enough when Jameis Winston threw his third interception Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. It was the fifth of what would become six turnovers as the Browns self-destructed again. Stefanski benched Winston in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who joined the circus with an interception to seal the 21-7 defeat at Huntington Bank Field, which was nearly empty by the end. Commentary: Browns mad scientists have created a monster that must be destroyed The news got worse for the Browns (3-11) when Stefanski announced running back Nick Chubb's left foot was broken. He left the game in the third quarter and exited the stadium on crutches and in a walking boot. After returning in October…...

4+ mon, 1+ week ago (558+ words) BEREA " Not even six month ago, Myles Garrett had requested a trade and was telling anyone who would listen he didn't think the Browns were in position to contend for a Super Bowl. On the first day of training camp, he was singing a different tune. Toughness emphasized as training camp starts The front office immediately denied the trade request from the 2023 NFL DPOY and four-time first-team All-Pro and continued to do so until Garrett returned to the negotiating table and in March signed a four-year, $160 million extension, which at the time was the most expensive deal for a non-quarterback. Garrett's frustration was obvious as the 3-14 season wrapped up last year and was asked how he's been able to once again find optimism.

11+ mon, 1+ week ago (818+ words) What is it about Cleveland and quarterbacks? Has there ever been an NFL team more inept at finding one than the Browns? Seriously. This isn't brain surgery. It only seems like it with the Browns. How come most of the other NFL teams can find quarterbacks, one way or another, when needed. But for the Browns finding the right quarterback is like a decade-long ordeal. It shouldn't be that hard, and for most NFL teams it isn't. Unfortunately, the Browns are not most NFL teams. The Browns go through quarterbacks like the runners in the Boston Marathon go through cups of water. It wasn't always like this. In fact, it never was like this back in the days when the Browns were the class of the NFL. When Paul Brown invented the Browns in 1946, the team had one quarterback in…...

What really matters will happen when the nostalgia stops and the blitzing and hitting begins. "I understand that this is a unique situation for Joe and for the fans of their team, but he's very well aware that he's got a job to do," coach Kevin Stefanski said. "And in order to do your job, you really have to put yourself in the mindset of " I got the blinders on, I'm going to do what's in front of me, and anything else will have to wait for much later." Flacco, 40, is coming off a strong opener in which he went 31-for-45 for 290 yards and a touchdown. He…...
