Greg Newsome II Injury News & Updates
Nov 16, 2025
Won't return Sunday
Newsome (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome sustained an ankle injury late in the first quarter, which is severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. Christian Braswell is slated to see more snaps at outside corner the rest of the way.
Nov 16, 2025
Questionable to return
Newsome (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
The starting cornerback went down near the end of the first quarter with an ankle injury and is questionable for the remainder of the game. If he is unable to return, Rayuan Lane or Christian Braswell will likely replace him at outside cornerback. Alternatively, Montaric Brown may be moved to outside cornerback and one of the other two defensive backs will take over the slot.
Nov 14, 2025
Good to go
Newsome (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Newsome was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, and being cleared of injury designation indicates he has moved past his shoulder injury in time for Sunday's game. The starting cornerback will look to build on his first four starts with the Jaguars as he starts his fifth game after being traded from the Browns for cornerback Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh-round pick on Oct. 8.
Nov 12, 2025
Limited in practice
Newsome (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Settling into Jacksonville's defense the last couple weeks following his acquisition from the Browns, Newsome has started three games in a row and played at least 93 percent of the defensive snaps in back-to-back contests. He's recorded 12 tackles (eight solo) and three pass breakups across four games with the Jaguars.
Oct 9, 2025
Not listed on injury report
Newsome (hamstring) was not included on the Jaguars' injury report Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Newsome was traded to Jacksonville on Wednesday after spending the first four-plus seasons of his career in Cleveland. The cornerback was considered to be a limited participant at the Browns' practice Wednesday, but he now appears to be a full go ahead of his first contest with the Jaguars. Newsome will likely operate in a starting role in the team's secondary Sunday versus Seattle.
Oct 8, 2025
Dealt to Jags
Newsome was traded from the Browns to the Jaguars in exchange for Tyson Campbell and a late-round pick swap Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome has been a popular trade candidate given the state of the Browns' season and that Newsome is on the final year of his rookie deal. He'll now join a Jaguars' defense that leads the league with 10 interceptions and 14 total turnovers forced. Newsome has three career interceptions across 59 games, highlighted by an excellent 2023 season, when he picked off two passes and was credited with 14 pass breakups.
Oct 8, 2025
Still nursing hamstring injury
Newsome (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome entered Week 5 as questionable due a hamstring injury, but he was cleared to play against the Vikings and finished with six tackles (four solo) and one pass defense while playing every single defensive snap. He's still working through the injury, but unless he logs a DNP over the next two practices, Newsome is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday.
Oct 8, 2025
Plays full game
Newsome recorded six tackles and one pass defensed in Week 5's 21-17 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Newsome entered the game as questionable due to a hamstring injury, but he was on the field for all 65 of Cleveland's defensive snaps. He has 23 tackles and three passes defensed through five games. Newsome has shown slight improvement in the areas of coverage and reception percentage coming off a down year, but he's in the final year of a contract and the 1-4 Browns may shop him.
Oct 5, 2025
Getting green light for Week 5
Newsome (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings in London.
ANALYSIS
Newsome took a questionable tag into the weekend after he was limited in practices Thursday and Friday due to the hamstring issue, but the injury wasn't considered serious enough to keep him off the field Sunday. The 25-year-old has played 90-plus percent of the defensive snaps in each of Cleveland's first four games, tallying 17 tackles and two passes defensed.
Oct 3, 2025
Questionable for Week 5
Newsome (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Newsome likely sustained this hamstring injury in practice, as he popped up on the Browns' injury report Thursday, logging a limited session. If he's unable to go in Week 5, Jarrick Bernard-Converse will likely start opposite Denzel Ward to form the Browns' top outside corner duo.
Sep 21, 2025
Returns from cramps vs. Green Bay
Newsome (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Packers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome briefly left Sunday's game due to cramping, but the 2021 first-rounder has been cleared to return. He'll continue to work opposite Denzel Ward at outside corner.
Sep 3, 2025
Past shoulder issue
Newsome (shoulder) did not appear on Wednesday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Newsome was sidelined for most of August due to a shoulder issue, but his absence from Wednesday's practice report indicates that he is past the injury and should play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Bengals. Newsome is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he logged career lows in total tackles (27) and pass defenses (five) across 13 games. The 2021 first-rounder is expected to start the season at outside corner opposite Denzel Ward.
Aug 11, 2025
Progressing through shoulder injury
Newsome (shoulder) was a limited participant in Monday's training camp practice, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury, which caused him to miss Friday's preseason game against the Panthers. He managed to return for Monday's practice, albeit in a limited capacity, but it's a step in the right direction for the 2021 first-rounder. Newsome's practice participation over the coming week will indicate his chances of playing in the Browns' next preseason game against the Eagles on Saturday.
Aug 3, 2025
Nursing shoulder issue
Newsome (shoulder) was unavailable for practice Saturday while nursing a shoulder injury, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome is dealing with an apparent shoulder injury, and he's considered day-to-day for the time being according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The cornerback suffered the injury while breaking up a pass at practice Friday, but he appears to have avoided any significant damage.
Jun 4, 2025
Back on field
Newsome (hamstring) participated during OTAs on Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome spent the last four games of Cleveland's 2024 season on its injured reserve list with a hamstring issue, but he's now back in football shape for offseason workouts. He's also entering the final year of his rookie contract having established himself as a quality starter. He projects to start again in 2025 alongside Martin Emerson and reigning Pro Bowler Denzel Ward.
Dec 10, 2024
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.
Dec 10, 2024
Will miss time
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Newsome (hamstring) will "miss time" but was not sure how long, 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. It's the same body part that the cornerback injured during the offseason while training at his alma mater, Northwestern University. He eventually underwent surgery and missed 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 through 13 games played.
Dec 8, 2024
Injures hamstring
Newsome injured his hamstring in Sunday's 27-7 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.
Dec 3, 2024
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.
Nov 20, 2024
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.
Nov 18, 2024
Injured Week 11
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 loss to the Saints and assumingly picked up the injury during the game. The Northwestern product will likely start the week as a DNP or at best limited, during any walkthroughs or practices ahead of Thursday's game against the Steelers.
Aug 26, 2024
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 linger 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.
Aug 15, 2024
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.
Jul 25, 2024
Underwent hamstring surgery
Coach Kevin Stefanski announced Thursday that Newsome (hamstring, NFI) underwent surgery, and the Browns are hoping Newsome will be ready for the Week 1 opener, 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 is first up on the schedule for the Browns' cornerbacks in Week 1.
Jul 24, 2024
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 Browns' secondary once he returns to full health.
Apr 30, 2024
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 Browns DC 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 in coverage. Newsome also registered a career-best 49 tackles (34 solo) and returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.
Mar 11, 2024
Extension eligble
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 .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 was 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. 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 should play a key role as a slot cornerback, regardless of whether the team picks up his fifth-year option.
Jan 11, 2024
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 when they take the field Saturday against Houston.
Jan 10, 2024
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.
Jan 5, 2024
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.
Jan 4, 2024
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.
Dec 12, 2023
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.
Dec 1, 2023
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.
Nov 28, 2023
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.
Nov 16, 2023
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.
Nov 15, 2023
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 though with their 2021 first-round selection, and he's likely on the right side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Nov 13, 2023
Logs first career interception
Newsome logged two tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, and an interceptions 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.
Nov 12, 2023
Active Sunday
Newsome (groin) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
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.
Nov 10, 2023
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.
Nov 9, 2023
Able to practice Thursday
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.
Nov 8, 2023
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.
Nov 3, 2023
Out Sunday
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 two consecutive DNPs during Wednesday and Thursdays practices, 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.
Nov 1, 2023
Missing practice Wednesday
Newsome (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
After sustaining a groin injury during Sunday's loss at Seattle, Newsome was not able to practice to start the new week. If he can't practice Thursday or Friday, he'll probably be forced to sit out in Week 9.
Oct 29, 2023
Won't return Sunday
Newsome (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome left for the locker room at the end of the first half. Now that he's out for the rest of the game, Martin Emerson should slot in for Newsome opposite of Denzel Ward.
Oct 29, 2023
Exits game with groin injury
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.
Oct 22, 2023
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.
Oct 20, 2023
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.
Oct 19, 2023
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.
Oct 18, 2023
Misses practice Wednesday
Newsome (hamstring) was a non-participant 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 in to a starting role in the Browns' secondary versus Indianapolis.
Sep 28, 2023
Cleared for Sunday
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.
Sep 22, 2023
Ruled out for Week 3
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.
Sep 19, 2023
Considered day-to-day
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Newsome (elbow) is day-to-day, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome sustained the elbow injury during Monday's loss to Pittsburgh. He recorded three solo tackles before leaving the field. Now, the starting cornerback's status will need to be monitored as Week 3's matchup against the Titans approaches.
Sep 18, 2023
Questionable to return
Newsome is considered questionable to return to Monday's tilt with the Titans due to an elbow injury, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome recorded three solo tackles before exiting the game. The severity of his elbow injury is not known at this time. While he is sidelined, Mike Ford will be a candidate to see increased snaps.
Sep 6, 2023
Appears clear for Sunday
Newsome (groin) was absent from 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 Sunday versus Cincinnati. 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.
Aug 14, 2023
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 match, Aug. 26 versus the Chiefs, before the regular season kicks off. The Browns are counting on Newsome to start across from Denzel Ward.
Aug 4, 2023
Has groin injury
Newsome is dealing with a groin injury, per coach Kevin Stefanski, Jake Trotter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Stefanski didn't provide a return timeline for the cornerback. Newsome didn't play in the Hall of Fame Game against the Jets on Thursday, but neither did the Browns' other projected starters. Cleveland's next preseason game will be Aug. 11 against Washington.
Dec 2, 2022
No injury designation
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.
Nov 30, 2022
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.
Nov 25, 2022
Missing second straight outing
Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
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. In his absence, Denzel Ward, A.J. Green and Martin Emerson are once again slated to handle Cleveland's cornerback duties.
Nov 23, 2022
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.
Nov 18, 2022
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.
Nov 18, 2022
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.
Oct 31, 2022
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 facing the possibility of being down both of their starting corners.
Oct 29, 2022
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.
Aug 26, 2022
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."
Aug 14, 2022
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 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 after clearing the league's concussion and COVID-19 protocols, but he took a step in the right direction Friday. It appears as though the 21-year-old could return to the field Monday against the Steelers following a three-game absence.
Dec 30, 2021
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.
Dec 30, 2021
Activated by Browns
The Browns activated Newsome from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Newsome cleared the league's concussion protocols Thursday, and he'll now be able to return to practice after being activated from the COVID-19 list. The 2021 first-rounder will likely be available for Monday's game against the Steelers.
Dec 30, 2021
Clears concussion protocols
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. Stefanski said Thursday that he expects Newsome to be activated from the COVID-19 list soon, so the cornerback could be available for Monday's game against Pittsburgh.
Dec 22, 2021
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.
Dec 16, 2021
Out for Week 15
Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback will be inactive for the second week in a row after suffering a concussion during practice late last week. In his absence, Greedy Williams will once again step into a larger role versus the Raiders on Saturday.
Dec 10, 2021
Ruled out for Sunday
Newsome (concussion) is out for Sunday against Baltimore, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome suffered the concussion in practice. The Browns' 2021 first-round selection will likely be replaced by Greedy Williams in the starting lineup.
Dec 10, 2021
Being evaluated for a concussion
Newsome is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Ravens with a head injury, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Trotter reports that Newsome fell and hit his head on the last play of practice and is being evaluated for a concussion. If the rookie is sidelined for Week 14, then Greedy Williams will likely see increased snaps against the Ravens.
Oct 17, 2021
Suiting up against Cardinals
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.
Oct 16, 2021
Questionable against Arizona
Newsome (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Newsome's reps in practice were capped throughout the week. However, he has a chance to return to game action after he was sidelined for each of the last two contests.
Oct 13, 2021
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, he did avoid the team's IR and he recorded a limited practice Wednesday. Expect Greedy Williams to start for Newsome once again in Week 6 if he is unable to play.
Oct 6, 2021
Ruled out for Week 5
Newsome (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome isn't expected to go on injured reserve, but he will miss his second straight week with a calf injury. Greedy Williams, who recorded his first career interception against the Vikings in Week 4, will once again have to step up in Newsome's absence.
Sep 29, 2021
Avoids injured reserve
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Newsome (calf) is out this week, but he won't go on injured reserve, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome underwent an MRI on Monday and appears to have avoided a serious injury. The rookie registered three tackles in Week 3 before leaving in the second half with a calf injury. Greedy Williams replaced Newsome after he left the contest and will likely draw the start in Week 4.
Sep 26, 2021
Will undergo MRI Monday
Newsome (calf) will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury Monday, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.
ANALYSIS
Newsome registered three tackles in Week 3 before leaving in the second half with a calf injury, and head coach Kevin Stefanski revealed the rookie cornerback will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine if he'll be sidelined for an extended period of time. In case he can't play in Week 4 against the Vikings, then Greedy Williams will likely replace him in the Browns' secondary for next week.
Sep 26, 2021
Suffers calf injury Sunday
Newsome (calf) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Bears, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Newsome registered three tackles in Week 3 before leaving in the second half with a calf injury. Greedy Williams will likely replace him in the Browns' secondary for the rest of the contest.
Sep 8, 2021
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.
Jul 24, 2021
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.
