Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will miss the 2026 season after Cleveland placed him on the reserve/physically unable to perform list for the second straight year on Friday.
Owusu-Koramoah, who also was placed on reserve/PUP last May, has been sidelined since Oct. 27, 2024 due to a neck injury. He was carted off the field after colliding with Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, whose right shoulder barreled into the linebacker’s head and neck area on a 10-yard run.
He was hospitalized overnight and released the next day with movement in all of his extremities.
Owusu-Koramoah, 26, had started all eight games prior to the injury and had a team-high 61 tackles, including three sacks and 10 tackles for loss. The Browns signed him to a three-year extension worth up to $39 million in August 2024.
The Browns selected Owusu-Koramoah in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame and he made the Pro Bowl in 2023.
In 49 games (41 starts), he has totaled 308 tackles, 40 tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hits, eight sacks, six forced fumbles and three interceptions.
