Browns' Dylan Sampson: Remaining on injured reserve
Sampson (knee) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Sampson has been sidelined since injuring his left knee during a Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, and while he was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't do enough in practice since then to warrant activation. With Sampson still sidelined and Quinshon Judkins' (foot) status up in the air for Week 6, the Browns may be looking at a situation in which Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are powering the ground game this weekend.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Limited in return to practice
Sampson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Though the Browns officially designated Sampson for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't end up taking any reps in the team's first Week 6 practice session. Sampson was back on the field a day later as a limited participant, but in order to have a shot at being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, he may need to upgrade to a full practice Friday. Lead back Quinshon Judkins (foot) hasn't been able to practice in any fashion this week and looks to be trending toward sitting out versus Baltimore, so Sampson could be in line for a prominent role if he ends up getting activated this weekend.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: No practice activity Wednesday
Sampson (knee) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Despite being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Sampson didn't end up logging any reps after having his 21-day practice window opened. Prior to the Browns' first Week 6 practice, head coach Todd Monken told Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram that Sampson has a chance at being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, but the second-year back would likely need to put in a full workout Thursday or Friday to make that a reality.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Back practicing Wednesday
The Browns designated Sampson (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The transaction clears the way for Sampson to practice Wednesday and opens a 21-day window for the Browns to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. The second-year back has been sidelined since sustaining the left knee injury during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, but head coach Todd Monken suggested that Sampson could have a shot at playing Sunday versus the Ravens, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. Sampson will likely need to turn in at least one full practice over the next three days for the Browns to feel comfortable activating him from injured reserve ahead of their Week 6 matchup.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Could return to practice this week
Head coach Todd Monken said Monday that there is a "possibility" that the Browns open the 21-day practice window for Sampson (knee) this week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Sampson was placed on injured reserve in mid-September due to a left knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Jaguars. Monken opened the door for Sampson to be designated to return from IR during Week 6 prep, though his practice participation over the coming days would ultimately determine whether he would be ready to play against the Ravens on Sunday. Sampson's potential return could be an important one for the Browns, given that Quinshon Judkins (foot) and Raheim Sanders (hip) both left this past Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets due to their respective injuries.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Lands on injured reserve
Sampson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
It's unclear exactly how much time Sampson will miss. He is expected back this season, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, but his placement on IR means he will miss at least the next four games. Jaleel McLaughlin was brought up from the practice squad, and both he and Raheim Sanders -- who played 18 snaps on offense and got four touches Sunday after Sampson's exit -- will work behind starter Quinshon Judkins.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: In line for extended absence
Sampson (knee) is expected to miss "significant time," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Sampson hurt his left knee in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Jacksonville and was on crutches while wearing a brace after the game. It appears that further evaluation on the running back has concluded that Sampson is dealing with a severe injury. It's not yet clear exactly how much time he'll miss, though there's certainly a chance he'll end up on IR. Raheim Sanders likely will take on a bigger role in Sampson's absence, and Jaleel McLaughlin could be summoned from the practice squad.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Knee injury still being evaluated
Coach Todd Monken said Monday the team is still evaluating the severity of Sampson's knee injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Monken said more information will be known Wednesday, which would suggest he's playing coy since the Browns aren't required to provide any update until an injury report needs to be released Wednesday. Sampson was on crutches after Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, so he's likely looking at some missed time at least. Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders handled backfield duties with Sampson sidelined.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: On crutches after hurting knee
Sampson was on crutches and wearing a brace on the left knee he injured during Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Sampson was hurt in the first quarter. He was initially deemed questionable but was eventually downgraded to out after being evaluated in the medical tent and the locker room. Quinshon Judkins (12 carries) and Raheim Sanders (one carry) were the only Browns running backs to log any totes during the Week 1 defeat. Sampson is slated to undergo further testing Monday, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Won't return to Sunday's contest
Sampson (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Sampson was initially deemed questionable to return after injuring his knee in the first quarter, but after making a visit to the medical tent on the sideline followed by two trips to the locker room, the Browns determined that his day is over, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. His absence leaves Cleveland with Raheim Sanders as its lone backup behind starter Quinshon Judkins for the remainder of the game. Sampson didn't receive any touches on offense but gained 64 yards on two kickoff returns prior to his departure.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Hurts knee, iffy to return
Sampson sustained a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is considered questionable to return, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Sampson didn't receive any touches on offense but returned two kickoffs for 64 yards before exiting the contest. The second-year running back headed to the locker room and will be evaluated further before the Browns decide whether he'll be able to return to the game.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Rests up during preseason finale
Sampson was rested for the Browns' 37-13 win over the Patriots in their Aug. 27 preseason finale.
Cleveland held both of their top two backs -- Quinshon Judkins and Sampson -- out for the third game of the preseason to open up more playing time for other running backs to stake claims to roster spots. Judkins is locked in as the Browns' lead runner heading into their Week 1 matchup with the Jaguars, but Sampson should have a consistent role as a weapon on passing downs. Sampson proved to be adept as a pass catcher during his 2025 rookie campaign, drawing 40 targets on just 249 snaps while producing a 33-271-2 receiving line. He was much less productive as a runner, however, averaging just 2.7 yards per carry on 65 totes.
