Cloud of mystery continues to hover over status of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
After injuring his neck against the Baltimore Ravens in the middle of the 2024 season, a cloud of mystery has hung over Cleveland Browns linebacker 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.

Texans' C.J. Gardner-Johnson: 'I feel highly disrespected' by Eagles' trade
Texans' C.J. Gardner-Johnson: 'I feel highly disrespected' by Eagles' trade Show Caption Hide Caption NFL keeps 'Tush Push' in play The NFL won't ban the 'Tush Push', keeping the Eagles' high-success play in the game—for now. C.J. Gardner-Johnson was a key playmaker for the Philadelphia Eagles while helping the team win its second-ever Super Bowl. Despite his strong performance, the Eagles traded him to the Houston Texans during the offseason, marking the fourth consecutive offseason Gardner-Johnson has changed teams. The 27-year-old admitted he didn't take kindly to the deal and believes he has been slighted throughout his career to date. "I feel highly disrespected, but it's a business," Gardner-Johnson told KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson. "Never was an All-Pro or Pro Bowl! Never! Led the league in interceptions. What more do you want?" Gardner-Johnson believes his lack of recognition stems from his playing style and fiery on-field antics. Those were on display often during the 2024 NFL season, as he was fined six times for a total of $101,298, per That included $45,002 in fines from the Eagles' Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders, a game from which he was ejected after multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. STEELERS FAN ON AARON RODGERS: 'I wish he'd have retired already' Still, Gardner-Johnson defended himself and made it clear he doesn't think his reputation is earned. "People say, 'He's a hazard, he's this, he's that.' I never been no hazard, bro," Gardner-Johnson said. "They got no real issues on me. That black ball ain't going to work on me, because I got me a ring. I got me one." While that Super Bowl 59 ring is Gardner-Johnson's greatest NFL accolade to date, it didn't satiate him. Instead, it's fueling him as he joins the Texans, and he believes he can help take DeMeco Ryans' defense to the next level. "I got three more championships in me," Gardner-Johnson said. "I'm probably going to win the next three. I'm going to get me another Super Bowl this year. Just watch."

Where does the Bucs DL group rank in the NFC North in 2025?
Where does the Bucs DL group rank in the NFC North in 2025? We are continuing a Summer series here on Bucs Wire, ranking the position groups across the division. The major pit stops of the offseason have come and gone, which means rosters are set for the most part. Now, could someone pull off a major trade or sign a veteran free agent down the line? Of course, and they likely will based on our luck to throw things off. Regardless, we wanted to do this exercise just to give you, the reader, a state of the division. At the end of each article, we will also provide a recap of the scorecards so that we can keep a running tally for you to keep track of and see who has the best roster in the division. Next up are the defensive lines in the NFC South. Note: Each group will have varying numbers of players as each team doesn't run the same defense. 4) Atlanta Falcons Starting Group: Morgan Fox, Ruke Orhorhro, and David Onyemata The Falcons' defense has been neglected in recent years during the pivotal times of the NFL Draft. In 2024, they were expected to pursue an edge rusher and opted for a quarterback instead. This year, they sured up their linebacker group, but this group remains starving for attention. Ruke Orhorhro is a promising run defender, so if he can get some help from the players on the outside, they may finally have some efficiency from the group. 3) Carolina Panthers Starting Group: Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown III, and Tershawn Wharton Derrick Brown was coming off a Pro Bowl season in 2023, so expectations were high in 2024. Unfortunately, injury stopped that halfway through one game of the season, but now he is ready for a rebound. They add another player, Bobby Brown III from the Rams, to be a tag team partner for him to help take some pressure off him. 2) New Orleans Saints Starting Group: Chase Young, Davon Godchaux, Bryan Breese, and Carl Granderson The Saints team as a whole is a bit of a disaster in terms of roster building, but the defense has some bright spots, and this group is one of them. Chase Young proved to be a nice find in free agency and is returning to the team with more expectations for 2025. The team added another piece, this time from the Patriots in Davon Godchaux, who comes down to the Bayou with the thought that he can help the interior. Starting Group: Logan Hall, Vita Vea, and Calijah Kancey The Bucs have the best defensive line group in the division, far and away, when we look at things. Vita Vea is a perennial All-Pro selection each year he plays all 17 games, Calijah Kancey is on the fringe of becoming a 10-sack-a-season defender, and Logan Hall is starting to come into his own. This group is going to be leading the Renaissance charge for the Bucs defense in 2025.

Saints should reunite former Pro Bowl corner with one of his favorite coaches
Saints should reunite former Pro Bowl corner with one of his favorite coaches Ramsey-Staley reunion could solve Saints' cornerback concerns The cornerback position remains one of the biggest question marks for the New Orleans Saints heading into the 2025 season. Following the trade of Pro Bowler Marshon Lattimore to Washington and the departure of Paulson Adebo in free agency, the team enters camp without a clear-cut starter on the outside. So who are the options? The Saints have made significant investments in the position, selecting Alontae Taylor and Kool-Aid McKinstry in the early second round in recent drafts. While both players bring pedigree and upside, they also come with uncertainty — whether due to inconsistent play (Taylor) or limited NFL reps (McKinstry). The team also brought back Isaac Yiadom, who spent last season with the 49ers, but ideally, the Saints are looking for more than just depth or insurance. They need a reliable, starting-caliber presence on the boundary. One name that continues to surface in trade discussions is Jalen Ramsey of the Miami Dolphins. Ramsey has reportedly been seeking a move, and both sides appear open to a fresh start. For New Orleans, the fit makes a lot of sense — particularly given Ramsey's past success under new Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. The two were instrumental in the Los Angeles Rams' No. 1 ranked defense in 2020, with Ramsey earning his second All-Pro nod and fourth Pro Bowl selection under Staley's leadership. That season would also serve as the launching pad for Staley's head coaching opportunity with the Chargers. Ramsey has made no secret of his respect for Staley, calling him 'the best defensive coordinator' he's played for. When Staley was announced as the Saints' new DC, Ramsey even reacted on social media with a supportive "My guy" — adding some fuel to the speculation. Even entering his ninth NFL season, Ramsey has shown little sign of decline. According to Pro Football Focus, he graded as the 16th-best cornerback in the league last year (76.9 overall), out of 222 qualifying players. His physicality, experience, and elite instincts would bring immediate stability to a Saints secondary that's currently filled with more 'what-ifs' than answers. The Saints have already explored potential additions with ties to Staley — most notably bringing in Asante Samuel Jr. for a visit last month. However, concerns over Samuel's health may complicate the possibility of a reunion. As it stands, the Saints have a young and promising, but largely unproven, group at cornerback. If New Orleans wants to solidify the position and return to being a stifling defense, making a move for Jalen Ramsey would go a long way to achieving that. With familiarity and a clear need at that spot, this is a move that makes too much sense to ignore.
