Cloud of mystery continues to hover over status of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
The Pro Bowl linebacker was placed on Injured Reserve and his season ended that day. However, there has been little clarity given from the Browns about what the future holds for Owusu-Koramoah after he was stretchered off the field this past season.
General manager Andrew Berry was asked about the status of his Pro Bowl linebacker while speaking to the media at the NFL combine, and again a vague update was given:
'I wish I had a specific update for you on Jeremiah. I would say that he's slowly making progress. He's going through all that's required medically, but I don't have anything specific.'
This is trending in a direction where it seems like the Browns nor Owusu-Koramoah know whether or not he will be able to play football again after a significant blow to his neck.
I guess no news is good news until we hear something of substance regarding the long-term health of Owusu-Koramoah.

Ravens' Roquan Smith selected as one of NFL's best 40 players
Former Georgia Bulldogs earn lots of recognition in the NFL and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith became the fifth Georgia player to be named to the top 100, placing at No. 40. Smith and the rest of the top 100 are ranked by their NFL peers. Smith is one of the best active NFL players that played for the Georgia Bulldogs. Ever since he was drafted by the Chicago Bears with the eighth selection in the 2018 NFL draft, he's been one of the best middle linebackers in the league. Through seven seasons, Smith totaled 1,005 tackles, 63 tackles for loss, and 21.5 sacks. Smith became the youngest player in NFL history to reach 1,000 career tackles during the 2024 season. He ranks third among all Georgia NFL players in tackles and 10th in tackles for loss. He has three Pro Bowl selections, two second-team All-Pro selections and three first-team All-Pro selections. He's played with confidence for all of his career, so much so that after the Bears traded Smith to the Ravens in 2022, Smith negotiated his own contract extension, and he ended up signing a five-year, $100 million extension, the richest contract of any linebacker in the league at that point. In 2024, Smith was fifth in the league in combined tackles (154), earning four tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks on his way to his third first-team All-Pro and third Pro Bowl selection. Before his time in the NFL, Smith was just as good at Georgia. From 2015-17, Smith earned 252 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks. In 2017, his junior season, he finished 10th in Heisman voting and was named the 2017 SEC Defensive Player of the Year. Roquan Smith ranked No. 40 in NFL top 100 Georgia Bulldogs in the NFL 100 (more players still TBA) Follow UGAWire on Instagram or Threads!

49ers star drops 17 spots on NFL's Top 100 after strong 2024 campaign
With the start of the NFL's 2025 regular season still weeks away, this is still the perfect time for narratives and comparisons between active players in today's game, which is why the NFL's Top 100 is being unveiled through Sept. 1. On Friday, the league announced that San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle came in at No. 31. Kittle is the fourth member of his team to make it, joining offensive tackle Trent Williams (No. 45), defensive end Nick Bosa (No. 57) and running back Christian McCaffrey (No. 73). Interestingly, Kittle is actually down 17 spots after finishing at No. 14 on the 2024 edition of this list, despite catching 78 passes for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns while making a sixth Pro Bowl and fourth All-Pro team this past season. In fewer games than the year prior, he had 13 more receptions for 86 more yards and two more scores. The rest of the Top 100 will be unveiled over the next few weeks, and 49ers fans will likely have their eyes all over the announcements, as this seems to be pretty low for arguably the best tight end in the NFL. We already know he won't be the top tight end on the list as Las Vegas' Brock Bowers hasn't appeared yet after his 112-reception, 1194-yard rookie campaign. If Kittle stays healthy, he'll have a great chance to move back up into the top 30 in 2026. Considering the current state of San Francisco's long list of injured pass-catchers for Brock Purdy to target, the tight end should have plenty of opportunities to prove himself again as he turns 32.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Cleveland Browns gave their first preseason quarterback start to Shedeur Sanders. Immediately after that decision was made, their game against the Carolina Panthers became one of the most anticipated matchups of Week 1 preseason action. Sanders performed admirably during the game. He looked the part of an NFL quarterback. Throughout the course of the game, he completed 14 of his 23 pass attempts for 138 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions, while also running for 19 yards on four attempts. That performance has made the calls for him to be a potential starter for the Browns grow much louder.
