News

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Browns placed Newsome (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Newsome's season is over after suffering a hamstring during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. The 24-year-old ended his campaign totaling 27 tackles (24 solo) and an interception in 13 games played and in his absence, Rodney McLeod will likely take over as the team's slot corner.

  • Set to miss time

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Newsome (hamstring) will "miss time," but Stefanski was uncertain how long the cornerback will be sidelined, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Newsome limped off the field with 2:53 remaining in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers after feeling a "pop" in his hamstring. He previously injured the hamstring while training in the offseason, eventually requiring surgery and missing the entire preseason slate of games. With the Browns having been eliminated from the postseason following the Week 14 loss, it would not be surprising if Newsome is held out for the final four games. He has one interception, five passes defensed and 27 tackles…read more

  • Injures hamstring

    Newsome injured his hamstring in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was able to finish out the contest, but he apparently picked up a hamstring injury in the process. He finished the game with two solo tackles. More clarity on his status will come during the week, but Cameron Mitchell would likely be next in line at slot cornerback if needed.

  • Nabs first interception of season

    Newsome logged one solo tackle and two pass defenses (including an interception) during Monday's 41-32 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Newsome was in the right place at the right time early in the second quarter, when he caught a ball that was tipped by Denzel Ward on a pass intended for Troy Franklin, which led to a 45-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins nine plays later. It was Newsome's first interception of the 2024 campaign and his first since Week 14 of 2023.

  • Will play Thursday

    Newsome (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game versus the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was limited by a shoulder injury in Cleveland's contest at New Orleans in Week 11, but he didn't incur any setbacks during the week and will play again Thursday. It is possible that he could still be working on a reduced snap count, though, potentially opening up more opportunities for 2023 fifth-rounder Cameron Mitchell.

  • Day-to-day with shoulder issue

    Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Newsome is day-to-day due to a shoulder injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Newsome didn't play his typical workload in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints, and the injury helps explain why. The Northwestern product will likely be in line for limited practice activity this week before the Browns determine his status for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

  • Passes physical

    Newsome (hamstring) passed his physical Monday and has been removed from the active/non-football injury list.

    Analysis: Newsome missed the entire preseason due to a lingering hamstring injury, but he's now clear to resume practicing. Coach Kevin Stefanski said early in camp that Newsome is still on track for Week 1, and the 2021 first-round pick now has two weeks left to ramp up his activity ahead of Cleveland's regular-season opener against the Cowboys on Sept. 8.

  • Takes field for rehab assignment

    Newsome (hamstring) went through a rehab assignment Thursday but remains out, Chris Easterling of The Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback was placed on the active/non-football injury list after having hamstring surgery before training camp. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said at the beginning of camp that Newsome should be ready for Week 1, per Easterling. Newsome recorded 49 tackles and 14 passes defensed, including two interceptions, in 2023, all career highs.

  • Underwent hamstring surgery

    Coach Kevin Stefanski announced Thursday that Newsome, who's on the active/non-football injury list, recently had hamstring surgery and there remains hope he'll be ready for Week 1, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was injured while training away from the team this summer. It was severe enough that the cornerback needed surgery. Newsome is Cleveland's top nickel corner working out of the slot between Denzel Ward and Martin Emerson. CeeDee Lamb (contract dispute) is first up on the schedule for the Browns' cornerbacks in Week 1.

  • Heads to NFI list

    The Browns placed Newsome (hamstring) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.

    Analysis: The fourth-year cornerback seems to be dealing with a hamstring issue, but he's still eligible to practice or play at any point throughout the preseason despite his placement on the active/non-football injury list. Newsome is coming off the best season of his young career in 2023, appearing in 14 games and recording 49 total tackles, including four tackles for loss, while also defending 14 passes, with two interceptions. Expect the Northwestern product to play another pivotal role in the…read more

  • Option exercised

    The Browns exercised Newsome's 2025 fifth-year option, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 26th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Newsome had a breakout season under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz in 2023. He started 13 of the 14 games he appeared in, picking off the first two passes of his career while breaking up 14 passes. Newsome also registered a career-best 49 tackles (34 solo) and returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.

  • Eligible for extension

    Newsome is entering his fourth year and is extension-eligible, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. He finished 2023 with 49 tackles, 14 passes defensed, two interceptions, one touchdown and 0.5 sacks over 14 games.

    Analysis: Newsome made some big plays for the Browns in 2023, including a pick-six in a Week 10 win over the Ravens, but there were also a few disappointing games -- most notably, the 45-14 playoff loss to Houston. He allowed four catches on five targets and was unable to track down tight end Dalton Schultz on a 37-yard touchdown in that contest. Pro Football Focus rated him 18th of 20 defenders in the game. As the third member in what is considered the strongest part of the Browns' defense, Newsome…read more

  • Cleared on injury report

    Newsome (knee) no longer has an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Texans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome went through the natural progression of DNP to limited and finally a full practice this week, paving the way for him to suit up for Saturday's wild-card matchup. The presence of the third-year pro in the Browns' secondary should be good news for Cleveland in the matchup against the Texans on Saturday.

  • Practices Wednesday

    Newsome (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday after missing Tuesday's session.

    Analysis: It's a step in the right direction for the starting cornerback ahead of Saturday's wild card matchup with the Texans. The 2021 first-round pick posted career highs in 2023 with 49 tackles, 14 passes defensed and two interceptions.

  • Won't play at Cincinnati

    Newsome (knee) is out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The exact nature of Newsome's knee injury is unknown at this point, but the Browns could just be playing things safe with a wild-card spot already guaranteed. Without Newsome, Cleveland will likely lean more heavily on rookie fifth-rounder Cameron Mitchell at corner in Week 18.

  • Unavailable Thursday

    Newsome (knee) did not participate at the Browns' practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Newsome has now missed the first two practice sessions of the week due to a knee issue. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, but if he can't go in Sunday's regular-season finale, Cameron Mitchell and Martin Emerson would likely see an increase in workload versus Cincinnati.

  • Snags key INT in win

    Newsome registered five solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Newsome picked off Trevor Lawrence on the second play of the fourth quarter, which the Browns' offense took advantage of four plays later with a 41-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to David Bell. It was Newsome's second interception of the year and he's two tackles away from matching his career-high of 42 in 2022.

  • Ready for Sunday

    Newsome was a full participant in Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Newsome had been dealing with a shin injury, but it seems as if the third-year corner has moved past that issue. Without Denzel Ward (shoulder) in Week 13, Newsome projects to be Cleveland's top cornerback against a Rams offense that's averaging just under 242 passing yards per game.

  • Records season-high seven tackles

    Newsome recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: He added one pass breakup. The seven tackles were a new season-best for the 2021 first-rounder. Newsome has battled elbow, hamstring and groin injuries this season but has appeared in nine of 11 contests, recording 32 tackles (21 solo), five pass breakups, one interception that he returned for a touchdown and 0.5 sacks.

  • Sheds injury designation

    Newsome (groin) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Newsome was able to play through the injury in Week 10, but he was limited in practice Wednesday. After being a full go Thursday, the 23-year-old should be all set to take the field Sunday against the Steelers.

  • Still working through injury

    Newsome (groin) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Newsome missed Week 9 against the Cardinals with the injury, but he returned for the team's Week 10 win over the Ravens despite logging limited practices throughout the week. The Browns are still being cautious with their 2021 first-round selection, and he's likely on the right side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

  • Logs first career interception

    Newsome logged two tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, and an interception in Cleveland's 33-31 win versus the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Newsome came up big for the Browns in their win, intercepting Lamar Jackson for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to cut the lead down to just one point. This was the first interception of the 2021 first-round pick's career, and he'll look to build off this strong performance against the Steelers next week.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick was able to log limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday after recording a DNP on Wednesday, and he's now in line to suit up for Sunday's contest. Newsome has appeared in six games for the Browns this season, recording 20 total tackles and three pass deflections.

  • Gets questionable tag

    Newsome (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was able to return to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, but he couldn't avoid an injury designation going into the weekend. If he sits out in Week 10, Mike Ford will probably see an uptick in reps at cornerback.

    Newsome (groin) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's a sign of progress for Newsome, who was a non-participant at practice Wednesday. He'll still likely need to log a full practice Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Not participating at practice

    Newsome (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was forced to sit out of Sunday's game versus Arizona as he recovered from a groin injury, but he still isn't 100 percent to start Cleveland's new week of practice. He'll probably have to sit out again in Week 10 unless he can find a way to get back to practice Thursday or Friday.

    Newsome (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick recorded consecutive DNPs during practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's not a surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. With Newsome missing time, Cameron Mitchell and Martin Emerson will both likely have an increased workload in Cleveland's secondary.

    Newsome (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Newsome (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome had one tackle and a pass deflection before heading to the locker room toward the end of the first half. Martin Emerson is the most likely candidate for increased snaps at cornerback opposite starter Denzel Ward as long as Newsome is out of the game.

  • Gets green light

    Newsome (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's clash with the Colts.

    Analysis: Newsome logged limited workloads at practice to close the week, but he is ultimately feeling good enough prior to kickoff to give it a go. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload at cornerback.

  • Questionable to play at Indy

    Newsome (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Colts, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was limited at practice Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's session, so it seems like he has close to coin-flip odds to suit up Sunday. If he can't play, rookie fifth-rounder Cameron Mitchell projects as the next man up.

  • Logs limited practice

    Newsome (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: His presence at practice Thursday constitutes an upgrade after he missed Wednesday's session entirely. However, unless he can manage a full practice Friday, he'll probably still carry an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Newsome (hamstring) was a nonparticipant at the Browns' practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome popped up on the injury report to open the week with a hamstring injury and he was unable to be a part of Cleveland's first practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to the practice field, and his status for Week 7 is worth monitoring. If Newsome can't go, Cameron Mitchell could step into a starting role in the Browns' secondary versus Indianapolis.

    Newsome (elbow) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Newsome missed the team's Week 3 win over the Titans, but after logging a limited practice Wednesday, the Northwestern product was a full go Thursday and should be able to play Sunday against the Ravens.

    Newsome (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Titans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was injured in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers and will now miss Sunday's date with the Titans. He's been occupying slot coverage duties for Cleveland this season. All three of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Treylon Burks and DeAndre Hopkins have seen significant usage out of the slot for Tennessee.

  • Appears clear for Sunday

    Newsome (groin) wasn't listed on the Browns' injury report Wednesday ahead of Week 1 versus the Bengals.

    Analysis: Though he dealt with a groin injury in August, Newsome looks to be healthy enough to play this Sunday. Even if fellow starter Denzel Ward (concussion) is 100 percent, Newsome is going to have his hands full against Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

  • Returning to practice this week

    Newsome (groin) is expected to resume practicing this week, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

    Analysis: Newsome has missed more than a week of practice due to a groin injury, but he's expected to get back on the field this week. It remains to be seen whether the 2021 first-round pick will be able to be cleared in time for Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, but if not, he'll have one more exhibition contest, Aug. 26 versus the Chiefs, before the regular season kicks off. The Browns are counting on Newsome to start across from Denzel Ward.

    Newsome doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Houston, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Newsome, who's missed two straight games due to a concussion, returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant and logged back-to-back full participations to end Week 13 prep, clearing him for Sunday's matchup. Across nine appearances, the second-year cornerback has totaled 24 tackles, one pass defense and half a sack while playing nearly every defensive snap.

  • Returns to practice Wednesday

    Newsome (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome suffered a concussion in Week 10 and has been sidelined since, so his return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, is encouraging. The second-year cornerback will have two more opportunities to log a full session before Cleveland needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

    Analysis: Newsome sustained a concussion back in Week 10 versus Miami, and he's since been unable to practice in any capacity leading up to this weekend's matchup against Tampa Bay.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Newsome (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Newsome sustained a concussion during practice ahead of Cleveland's loss to Buffalo in Week 11, and he now appears to be in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game with that injury. If the sophomore first-rounder can't go in Week 12, Greedy Williams would likely be in line for fill-in reps on the boundaries.

  • Downgraded to out

    Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Buffalo, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was officially diagnosed with a concussion after being involved in a collision during practice Friday, per Poisal. As a result, the second-year corner will miss Sunday's contest and look to clear the league's protocols ahead of Cleveland's Week 12 contest versus Tampa Bay. Newsome has recorded 24 tackles, 0.5 sacks and one pass defended over nine starts this season, and his absence will leave the Browns' defense short-handed against Buffalo's prolific passing attack.

  • Week 11 status iffy

    Newsome (concussion) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Bills, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Newsome is being evaluated for a concussion following a collision in Friday's practice, per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com. If the 22-year-old is eventually forced to miss his first game of the 2022-23 campaign this Sunday, then Denzel Ward, Greedy Williams and Martin Emerson would be in line to command the majority of Cleveland's cornerback duties.

  • Will play Monday

    Newsome (oblique) is active Monday against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Newsome's ability to suit up is a boon for the team's secondary, as Denzel Ward is out due to a concussion, and the team was therefore facing the possibility of being down both of its starting cornerbacks.

  • Questionable for Monday night

    Newsome (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game versus Cincinnati, Anthony Poisal of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Even though he did play all but one snap in Week 7 at Baltimore, it seems Newsome is in some jeopardy of missing his first game action of the 2022 season Monday. The 2021 first-rounder's status will be one to watch ahead of kickoff Monday night, as Denzel Ward (concussion) has already been ruled out.

  • Returns to practice

    Newsome (hamstring) practiced Thursday for the first time since Aug. 9, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Newsome participated in individual work but did not take part in team drills. It's unclear if Newsome will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears, and head coach Kevin Stefanski said he'll be brought "along appropriately."

  • Dealing with minor hamstring injury

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday that Newsome hasn't practiced since Tuesday but it "won't be long" before he returns, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Newsome apparently tweaked his hamstring last week, but the issue appears minor. The 2021 first-round pick has been a standout at training camp and looks more confident heading into Year 2. As a rookie, he totaled 37 tackles and nine pass deflections across 12 appearances.

  • More confident in Year 2

    Newsome made two interceptions during Saturday's session and continued what most observers feel has been a strong showing in camp, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Whether it's from Jackson of The Atheltic or Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site, Newsome is getting rave reviews. The 2021 first-round pick looks more confident as he prepares for a second NFL season. He's on the field with the ones and expected to start at cornerback along with Denzel Ward (foot). In obvious passing situations or against multiple wideout sets, the Browns expect to move Newsome inside to the slot while Greedy Williams replaces him on the outside.

  • Full participant Friday

    Newsome (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Newsome was limited Thursday after clearing the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols, but he took a step in the right direction Friday by returning to the practice field as a full participant. Head coach Kevin Stefanski already stated earlier in the week that Newsome cleared the five-step concussion protocol after suffering the head injury prior to landing on the COVID-19 list, so the rookie cornerback should be good to go for Monday's game in Pittsburgh.

  • Limited in Thursday's practice

    Newsome (concussion) was listed as limited in practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

    Analysis: Newsome cleared both the league's concussion and COVID-19 protocols earlier in the day, but the Browns still limited his involvement Thursday, likely as a precautionary measure. Cleveland doesn't face the Steelers until Monday, giving the starting cornerback an extra day to get back up to speed.

    Coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Newsome (illness) has cleared the league's concussion protocols, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Newsome remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he'll be able to return to practice once he clears the league's health and safety protocols.

  • Placed on COVID-19 list

    Newsome (concussion) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Newsome had already missed back-to-back games due to a concussion. Now, in addition to having to clear the five-step concussion protocol before retaking the field, he will also have to fully pass the league's protocols for COVID-19. That makes the starting cornerback's status for Saturday's game against the Packers uncertain at best.

    Newsome (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup against Arizona, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Newsome logged three limited practices during the week and is set to return after a two-game absence. He should immediately step back into a top role in the Browns' secondary, likely tasked with slowing down A.J. Green and Rondale Moore.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Newsome (calf) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Newsome sustained a calf injury in the Browns' Week 3 win over the Bears. While the cornerback has yet to play since then, his ability to open Week 6 as a limited participant offers hope that he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals. If the rookie is unable to play, however, Troy Hill or Greedy Williams (shoulder) could pick up a start at cornerback.

    Analysis: Newsome registered three tackles in Week 3 before leaving in the second half with a calf injury. On Monday, he underwent an MRI, but his tests apparently didn't reveal any sort of injury that is long-term in nature.

  • Will start Sunday

    Newsome will start at one of the cornerback spots Sunday against the Chiefs, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Newsome, the Browns' first-round pick in 2021, battled veteran Greedy Williams (groin) for the job. It wasn't handed to him. Both defensive backs played well in the preseason, but Williams' groin injury during the second preseason game tilted the competition in favor of the rookie.

  • Locks in rookie deal

    Newsome signed his rookie contract with the Browns on Saturday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Newsome could make the case for the starting outside cornerback job opposite stalwart Denzel Ward with a strong training camp, but the Browns did sign Troy Hill to a healthy contract this offseason and still have 2019 second-round pick Greedy Williams around, both of whom could make an argument for the same spot. Either way, Newsome is expected to be a key cog in an improving Browns defense as the team chases a significant postseason run.
