Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Browns' leading tackler in win
Schwesinger recorded 10 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 23-19 win at Tampa Bay.
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.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Records 10 tackles
Schwesinger finished with 10 tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars.
It was not the best day for the Cleveland defense, but its middle linebacker again was all over the field. Schwesinger won Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2025 after recording 156 tackles (67 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including two interceptions.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Participates in team drills Saturday
Schwesinger (undisclosed) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.
Schwesinger had not practiced with the team yet in August. The Defensive Rookie of the Year's return is a huge boon for the Browns' defense as the team heads into the Week 1 contest with the Jaguars. Schwesinger is the defensive shot caller for Cleveland, so him reclaiming his first-team reps from Nathaniel Watson should kick the Browns' defense into another gear.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Returning to practice Saturday
Schwesinger (undisclosed) will participate in Saturday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Schwesinger's participation level is yet to be seen, but it's encouraging sign for the second-year linebacker to return from an undisclosed injury. He has not played in any of the Browns' preseason games, but there's no indication that he's in jeopardy of missing Cleveland's regular-season opener against Jacksonville on Sunday, Sept. 13. The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year will lead a Browns defense that swapped Myles Garrett for Jared Verse this offseason and also features 2025 first-rounder Mason Graham and five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Not in line to play Thursday
Schwesinger (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Schwesinger has been tending to an undisclosed injury since late July, but after a standout rookie campaign in 2025 in which he accounted for 156 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two interceptions among three pass defenses in 16 regular-season games, the Browns won't risk the health of the player donning the green dot in the middle of their defense.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Limited in return to practice
Schwesinger (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday as a limited participant, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Monday was the first time Schwesinger worked to the side since the first week of training camp, and the second-year linebacker is expected to increase his workload over the coming days, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. It seems unlikely that Schwesinger will play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots, but there's no indication he's in jeopardy of being sidelined for Week 1 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Won't play Saturday
Schwesinger (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The Defensive Rookie of the Year is dealing with a minor injury and is not set to suit up. Schwesinger will once again be the Browns' starting middle linebacker and defensive shotcaller, meaning his health is far too important to risk in a preseason game. The 23-year-old will likely return to the field shortly to continue preparing for the Browns' Week 1 showdown with the Jaguars.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Chance to practice next week
Schwesinger (ankle) could return to practice next week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Schwesinger hasn't practiced since July 31 while nursing an ankle injury, but head coach Todd Monken noted Monday the team is being "overly cautious" with the linebacker. Monken said the hope is Schwesinger will return to practice next week. It doesn't appear the 23-year-old is at risk of missing any regular-season action with the injury.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Participating in training camp
Schwesinger (ankle) is on the field participating at Browns training camp.
The 2025 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year was placed on injured reserve leading up to Week 18 of last season due to an ankle injury, but Schwesinger appears to be back to full health. The 2025 second-round pick compiled 156 tackles (67 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and three defensed passes, including two interceptions, across 16 regular-season games during his rookie 2025 campaign. Schwesinger is set to reprise his role as the Browns' starting middle linebacker in 2026.
