The Browns’ injury list grew again Wednesday, and the biggest name on it is Grant Delpit.
Camryn Justice of News 5 reported that six Cleveland players were not expected to practice because of injury: Kalia Davis (quad), Grant Delpit (concussion, shoulder), Mike Hall Jr. (ankle), Elgton Jenkins (knee), Teven Jenkins (back), and Carson Schwesinger (ankle).
Delpit’s situation is the one that stands out most. The veteran safety was hurt Sunday against Baltimore after being accidentally struck by teammate Derek Barnett while going in to tackle Ravens running back Derrick Henry.
He is dealing with both a shoulder injury and a concussion, and not practicing Wednesday puts his status for Sunday against the Titans in question. The concussion is the bigger concern, especially with the NFL’s protocol still to clear.
If Delpit can’t go, the Browns would be missing a defender who has logged one interception, one sack, and 25 combined tackles this season. Cleveland does have some cover at the position, though, with rookie Emmanuel McNeil-Warren beginning to carve out a role. He has 24 tackles and has allowed just two receptions this season.
Schwesinger’s name is on the report again, but this doesn’t come as a surprise. The rookie linebacker has been managing an ankle injury for weeks, and it already limited him in the lead-up to the Ravens game.
He missed most of practice last week and was limited Friday before still getting on the field Sunday. That makes Wednesday’s absence feel more like a continuation of that pattern than a new setback.
Jenkins is also a player worth watching. The Browns center has been one of the steadier pieces of the offensive line this year, and he played every offensive snap against Baltimore in Week 6. He showed enough durability in that game to give Cleveland hope that the knee issue is more of a practice-day problem than something that threatens his availability this week.
There is better news elsewhere on the report. Mason Graham and Quinshon Judkins, both of whom sat out the Ravens game, were back on the practice field, with signs pointing to both having a chance to return against Tennessee. Graham has been working back from the MCL sprain and ankle sprain he suffered in Week 4.
The Browns’ injury report is still crowded, but compared with last week, there are at least a few encouraging signs. Delpit remains the biggest question, while Schwesinger and Jenkins have already shown they can push through bumps and bruises.

Browns Enter A Stretch That Could Define Their Playoff Push
The Browns are heading into a tricky part of the schedule with Sundays trip to face the Titans kicking off three straight road games. Cleveland has not been nearly as steady away from home as it has been in other settings, and with a 1-2 road record so far, this stretch is going to tell a lot about how real the teams playoff push is. For a roster trying to stay in the mix, these are the kinds of weeks that can quietly shape an entire season.
There is also a longer-term layer to this run, because the Browns are getting closer to the point where they have to sort through their quarterback plans for 2026. Those decisions are not the immediate headline, but they hover over everything as Cleveland tries to balance the present with what comes next. A difficult road swing can sharpen those conversations quickly, especially if the team needs to prove it can travel well enough to keep its postseason hopes alive. [Read more 🡒]
Quincy Williams Is Becoming Impossible For Browns Fans To Ignore
The Browns have built an encouraging early edge in the division, including a win over Baltimore, and the defense has been a major reason why. Under defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg, who was hired by head coach Todd Monken, the unit has kept its identity intact after Jim Schwartzs departure, and one of the biggest reasons it has held up so well is Quincy Williams.
Williams, a free agent signing who already knew Rutenberg, has wasted little time making himself a central part of the defense. He has piled up 40 tackles in six games and leads the league in forced fumbles, production that has made him hard for Browns fans to overlook as the season settles into its grind. [Read more 🡒]
Browns Rookie Tackle Is Already Easing One Big Cleveland Fear
Spencer Fano has quietly become one of the more encouraging early developments on Clevelands offensive line. The rookie tackle has already started six games, settled in at left tackle and looked like a player the Browns can trust in front of Deshaun Watson, which matters a great deal for a team that has spent plenty of time worrying about that spot.
The performance has not been flawless, but it has been steady enough to ease one of the biggest fears around the offense. Pro Football Focus has Fano at a 69.3 overall grade, and he has allowed 12 pressures through those six games, numbers that suggest the Browns may have found help where they needed it most while he continues to gain experience.
