Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah pens letters to fans after devastating news
The Cleveland Browns made the devastating announcement that Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah would miss the entire 2025 season as he continues to recover from a neck injury suffered in Week 8.
While Owusu-Koramoah is back in the building with his teammates, he is not close to returning to the field after being stretchered off. What comes next remains unknown for the former second round pick as well. However, the Pro Bowl linebacker has spoken directly to Browns fans in a letter.
Here is the letter that Owusu-Koramoah penned to Browns fans following the announcement that he will miss the entire 2025 season:
"To the Cleveland Browns fanbase and my supporters worldwide—thank you for your patience in my silence.
From day one, you embraced me as more than a player, but also as a brother and young man with purpose. I'm grateful to the Browns organization for their full support, and to the world-class doctors guiding me through recovery. While I won't suit up this season, I'm focused on what I can control—my healing, my mindset, and my faith. The body may rest, but the calling never sleeps.
I've given my heart to this game. I don't know what's next, but I'll continue trusting my medical team, serving the community, and backing my brothers on the field.
Love always,
JOK"
This means we will get a healthy dose of rookie Carson Schwesinger, who appears to have a starting role already locked down after being selected with the first pick of the second round. We wish Jeremiah nothing but the best in his recovery and with whatever might come next beyond the 2025 season.

Miami Dolphins sign LB Matthew Judon, add cornerback Cameron Dantzler Sr.
The Miami Dolphins made their signing of Pro Bowl outside linebacker Matthew Judon official Tuesday after working out the veteran the day prior and added cornerback depth by signing veteran Cameron Dantzler Sr. Judon adds another skilled player to an already deep edge rushing unit that includes Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson. Phillips and Chubb are returning this season from serious knee injuries, and Robinson is coming off a promising rookie year. Judon had 41 tackles, 5 1/2 sacks and an interception returned for a touchdown in 15 starts for the Atlanta Falcons last year. He played the first five seasons of his career with Baltimore and had a three-year stint with New England. Dantzler was a third-round pick by the Vikings in 2020 and had 149 tackles and three interceptions in three seasons with Minnesota, but he has not played football since the 2023 season with New Orleans. The Saints signed him to their practice squad and he appeared in two games that season. He hasn't played in the NFL since then — instead signing with the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger Cats in 2024. He played for the United Football League's Memphis Showboats earlier this season. Dantzler will compete for a cornerback spot on a roster that lacks a standout star, though the Dolphins have added a couple other veterans this offseason in Mike Hilton Jr. and Jack Jones. Second-year cornerback Storm Duck and rookie Jason Marshall Jr. are also on the roster. Cam Smith, Isaiah Johnson, Ethan Bonner and Kendall Sheffield are among those who are competing for spots as well. Also Tuesday, Miami waived wide receiver Tarik Black and punter Ryan Stonehouse, who was beat out by Jake Bailey in the punting battle.

Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 18: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 18 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 18 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 18 wearer: QB Will Howard Selected with the 185th pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, fan-favorite rookie QB Will Howard is the current No. 18 on the Steelers roster. After finishing his Ohio State career as a National Champion, Howard carries the hopes of Steelers fans wishing he can become the next great franchise quarterback — and he has the perfect mentor in Aaron Rodgers to potentially turn this dream into reality. Last five Steelers to wear No. 18: Best No. 18 in Steelers history: WR Diontae Johnson Arguably the best Steeler to ever wear No. 18 is Diontae Johnson. Selected with the 66th overall pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Johnson wasted little time making an impact on the Steel City brand of football — earning a Second-Team All-Pro selection as a punt returner during his rookie season. He was also named to the 2021 Pro Bowl. During his five seasons in Pittsburgh, Johnson caught 391 passes for 4,363 yards — the ninth-most by a Steeler all-time — and 25 touchdowns. Despite leaving the Steel City on bad terms and struggling to make an impact outside of Pittsburgh, his performance as a Steeler leaves him deserving of being named the greatest to wear No. 18.

Joe Flacco named QB1, but Browns still have questions to answer
The biggest question of the Browns' offseason was answered this week with 40-year-old Joe Flacco named the starting quarterback. Why it matters: Cleveland has the second-oldest starting quarterback in the NFL. Now the question is how things will play out at the position over the entire season. Driving the news: Flacco will start the Browns' final preseason game Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams at Huntington Bank Field. Catch up quick: Cleveland entered training camp with a quarterback battle between Flacco, newly acquired Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Deshaun Watson, whom Cleveland traded the farm for and signed to a record-breaking contract, could miss the entire season as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. State of play: Sanders played well in the Browns' preseason opener with 138 yards and two touchdowns, while Pickett and Gabriel were sidelined with injuries. Sanders sat out the second preseason game with an oblique strain. Gabriel started and threw for 143 yards and an interception. Flacco, a former Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens who led the Browns to the playoffs two seasons ago, has gotten most of the first-team reps in practice. What they're saying: Flacco was always the presumed starter, but fans are already wondering about the future on the team's Facebook page. One of the rookies is going to take over by Week 5, Randy Walker commented. "I'm calling it now. Their record will be 1-3 and they will take a shot on a rookie!" Jesse Paulton Jr. predicts, "[Flacco will] be the starter until the bye week when one of the rookies separates themselves from the other."
