For the second straight year, the Cleveland Browns have placed linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, sidelining him for the 2026 season, the report says.
Owusu-Koramoah has not played since October 2024, when he was briefly hospitalized with a neck injury after attempting to tackle Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, the report says. The club also placed him on the reserve/PUP list last May as the team managed his recovery.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry said at the NFL combine in February that he was not “overly optimistic” about Owusu-Koramoah playing in the 2026 season, the report says. The decision to move the linebacker to reserve/PUP confirms he will be unavailable for the coming season.
The report notes that Owusu-Koramoah, 26, is scheduled to pursue a master’s degree in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School this fall. That educational plan was included in the overview of his status and offseason activities, the report says.
A second-round pick out of Notre Dame in the 2021 draft, Owusu-Koramoah was named to his first Pro Bowl after recording a career-high 101 tackles in the 2023 season, the report says. Those achievements came before the neck injury that has kept him off the field.
The report adds that the Browns signed Owusu-Koramoah to a three-year contract extension in August 2024, and the reserve/PUP designation means the team will carry him on that status rather than the active roster while he recovers, the report says.
