Browns backup fined in Week 6 for striking/kicking/kneeling versus the Ravens
You never know what you might find when you peruse the NFL's accountability website, especially almost a week after every game, when the fines are announced for the previous week.
Browns Week 7: A few key takeaways from victory over the Titans Original
The Cleveland Browns took the Week 7 victory over the Tennessee Titans in a game that was a struggle back and forth between the two AFC teams. Now 5-2, the Browns remain at the top of the AFC North heading into Week 8, after their fifth fourth-quarter drive that led to a victory. A few key takeaways from Week 7’s win: Cleveland’s rushing touchdown was their first 1st-quarter touchdown of the season.
Browns vs. Titans Week 7 recap: Last-second, close game win for Cleveland Original
The Cleveland Browns traveled down to Nashville to face off against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Sitting at 4-2, the Browns are hoping to match pace with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who won their early Sunday matchup in Paris, France. Cleveland got good news in pregame with the inactive report having CB Denzel Ward and LB Quincy Williams active for the game.
Browns injuries: OLman goes out in the 2nd half in Week 7 versus the Titans Original
A competitive contest between the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans started out as anything but in Week 7. The Titans took a 14-0 lead and looked like they would pull to 21-7 due to turnovers, but the Browns defense stepped up after a replay called back a Tony Pollard touchdown. Cleveland ran the score to 17-14 going into halftime, helped by CB Denzel Ward’s interception and solid offensive production.
Browns backup fined in Week 6 for “striking/kicking/kneeling” versus the Ravens Original
Last week, the Cleveland Browns took home a win versus the Baltimore Ravens but Luke Wypler lost 10% You never know what you might find when you peruse the NFL’s accountability website, especially almost a week after every game, when the fines are announced for the previous week. Sometimes you find out about a fine going against a player playing against the Cleveland Browns, like New York Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for his hit on Browns WR KC Concepcion.
After Maliek Collins’ extension, Browns have 4 starters left who are set to be free agents Original
Unlike teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, who won’t talk contract extensions during the season, which led to the trade of CB Joey Porter Jr., Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry is more than happy to get deals done whenever they might work out. Before the 2026 NFL season started, Berry and the Browns locked up CB Denzel Ward and S Grant Delpit with extensions.
Jerry Jeudy trade rumor update: What would the Browns require, according to a report Original
The Cleveland Browns are seeing a lot of NFL trade rumors surrounding them, but what would it take to trade Jerry Jeudy? Sunday is all about the Cleveland Browns Week 7 matchup with the Tennessee Titans, where the injury status of CB Denzel Ward and LB Quincy Williams could be decisive. A win would move the Browns to 5-2, setting the stage for an interesting schedule on the field, with the NFL trade deadline and their bye week also hitting before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Browns roster: Dylan Sampson activated among 3 moves; good sign for injured star defenders Original
For some teams, the Saturday roster moves are a strong indication of what will happen with their questionable players on Sunday. Cleveland Browns fans are hoping that is true, with CB Denzel Ward and LB Quincy Williams being added to the injury report the last two days, but only one practice squad elevation on Saturday. For Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans on the road, the Browns did activate RB Dylan Sampson off of injured reserve on Saturday.
Giving Browns DT Mike Hall Jr. even more retroactive respect for Week 4’s sack Original
As the Cleveland Browns get ready to travel to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, the top of the AFC North continues to belong to the orange and brown. Injuries, including DT Mike Hall Jr. being out this week, continue to be a big variable for the Browns and their opponents.
NFL Week 7: 3 other games for Browns fans to keep an eye on Original
The Cleveland Browns face off against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 of the NFL season, with a win moving the visitors to 5-2 and a loss calling their early-season success into question. Injuries mean that any Saturday news from the Browns will be analyzed and scrutinized, including whether RB Dylan Sampson is activated from injured reserve. The bigger questions will be about practice squad elevations on defense, with CB Denzel Ward and LB Quincy Williams questionable for the game.
Browns, Titans final injury reports: Big questions for visitors, less for home team Original
The Cleveland Browns have some big injury concerns, including Denzel Ward, Quincy Williams, for Week 7 vs the Titans Injuries once again were a big story for Week 7 with the Cleveland Browns, while their opponent had almost zero issues of significance. While the Tennessee Titans were mostly healthy, the Browns got some concerning news on Thursday, with LB Quincy Williams sitting out practice with a neck injury.
Respect is coming slowly, if at all, for the Browns so far in 2026: Big betting line change Original
The 2026 NFL season has a long way to go before completion. The results in Week 7 will not define the season, per se, but could go a long way for many teams, including the Cleveland Browns. A win versus the Tennessee Titans would run HC Todd Monken’s squad’s record to 5-2 with a high probability of being in the playoff conversation all year.
Browns, Titans Week 7 injury reports: New, big concern for CLE; changes for both sides
Injuries are just a part of the story in the NFL. For the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans, the first injury reports of the week could not have looked different. We are also tracking continued injury issues for the Los Angeles Rams (who owe the Browns their first-round pick) and the AFC North (specifically QB Lamar Jackson). The pre-practice report out of Berea on Thursday had some positive improvements, but one big addition could throw a wrench in plans.

NFL trade deadline: Browns connected to a whole lot of edge defenders as targets Original
The NFL trade deadline is likely to including a lot of Cleveland Browns rumors. Edge rushers are high on target list. How quickly things fly by in the NFL. Only a little while ago, the 2026 NFL season was kicking off, and now we are staring down a Cleveland Browns schedule that includes the NFL trade deadline and the team’s bye week before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Browns HC Todd Monken’s success is due to choosing respect Original
Why are the Cleveland Browns 4-2 and successful in HC Todd Monken’s first run as an NFL head coach, despite being called frauds? Is it the defense? Sure, that is part of it. Is it two back-to-back home-run NFL draft classes by GM Andrew Berry? Definitely a part of it. Does QB Deshaun Watson’s fourth-quarter magic play a role? Yes, indeed. Has the Browns roster shown a grittiness that personifies the City of Cleveland? Very much so.
Browns, Titans Week 7 injury reports: TEN much healthier than CLE on Wednesday Original
Practice for Week 7’s matchup between the Browns and Titans have begun, with injuries a big story for Cleveland Before the Cleveland Browns improbable come-from-behind victory in Week 6 over the Baltimore Ravens, the story of the game was the huge injury lists that both teams dealt with all week.
Former Browns defender released by Titans due to ‘incident,’ won’t face former team in Week 7 Original
The list of former Cleveland Browns in the NFL, as well as in other leagues, is quite expansive. Until recently, there were not always success stories on those lists, but Browns fans are passionate about anything and everything connected to their team, including former players (which is why we created our in-5 trivia daily game). Cleveland’s matchup with the Tennessee Titans was supposed to bring about another blast from the past name: DT Jordan Elliott.
Browns upcoming schedule before Thanksgiving, including bye week, trade deadline Original
As much as the NFL dominates the sports calendar, it is the shortest season of the three historically major sports in the United States. It seems like just yesterday the Cleveland Browns were setting their initial 53-man roster and getting ready for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. The Browns are now six games into their season, have crossed the quarter pole of the year a couple of weeks ago, and have two other schedule markers just ahead: The NFL trade deadline and their bye week.
Cleveland native Jason Kelce excited for Browns start, ‘we’ve been waiting for this’ Original
The Cleveland Browns are 4-2, and the bandwagon has room for a lot more to jump on or return to the orange and brown of their youth. While the Browns four wins have not been pretty, with all of them (and the loss to the New York Jets) potentially going the other way, learning to win is an important skill for a very young team to learn. Can Cleveland sustain this? Are the Browns the biggest frauds in the NFL? Who cares?
More major Rams injuries could boost Browns 2027 NFL draft pick position Original
The Cleveland Browns 2027 NFL draft position could see a huge uptick as Rams lose Davante Adams and others to injury When the Cleveland Browns traded DE Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams this summer, many talked about the NFL draft picks coming back as “basically (a round later)” due to assumptions about the outcome of the 2026 NFL season. Then the Rams lost and lost Garrett in Week 1, dealt with an injury to WR Puka Nacua, saw DT Aaron Donald miss a game, and dropped to 2-4 after Week 6.
NFL trade deadline: Browns might have some big-game options if they go hunting Original
With six weeks down in the 2026 NFL season, there are not a lot of things that are certain around the NFL. Can the Cleveland Browns hold on to the top spot in the AFC North, or are they the biggest frauds among the good records in the league? Almost every team still has similar or bigger questions than those that surround the Browns, but some teams are already at the point of knowing their season is likely heading toward a high 2027 NFL draft pick.
Browns vs. Ravens: Quick takeaways from Week 6's amazing win
The Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens locked up in an AFC North “battle” in Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season. The home team's offense was atrocious for most of the game, while the visitors made big plays when they needed them, especially on third downs, but points were at a premium heading into the fourth quarter. A somewhat wild, somewhat boring game between two teams struggling with injuries ended with the Browns beating the Ravens 13-10 and taking first place in the AFC North.

AFC playoff race, division standings: Browns among the top teams after Week 6 Original
Victory Monday, no matter how it comes, is oh so sweet for Cleveland Browns fans. A little extra sugar is added to that treat when the win is over an AFC North rival, maybe even especially over the Baltimore Ravens. Unlike many years in the past, the Week 6 win over the Ravens wasn’t just a fun thing. Instead, it established the Browns in first place in the AFC North and gave them two wins in the division, a huge tiebreaker in division and playoff standings.

Big Cleveland sports day: Browns, Guardians to play back-to-back on Sunday
Every year, there is a reminder that there is nothing like baseball playoffs (except hockey playoffs, maybe. Full disclosure: hockey and soccer are not my sports, but I do respect them). The NFL playoffs, especially when our Cleveland Browns are in them, are amazing, but there is something different about every pitch mattering for a three-, five-, or seven-game series.
Browns, Ravens Week 6 inactives: Final injury status of Judkins, Schwesinger, Graham
Week 6 inactive reports are live, with Browns vs. Ravens AFC North matchup. Which injured players are active? The Cleveland Browns welcome in the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, but hope that the welcome is anything but warm. The current forecast calls for a sunny day with temparatures in the 60s, but Browns fans can rain down all the negative energy they can on the team that became the Ravens after Art Modell tried to steal a city’s soul by moving a football franchise.

Browns Week 6 injury updates: On Quinshon Judkins, Carson Schwesinger, Mason Graham
The Cleveland Browns head into Week 6's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens with an extensive injury list. On the other side, the Ravens have a similar concern, with the added caveat that their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson, will not play as well. On Saturday, the Browns elevated two defensive tackles for Week 6, a strong indication that DT Mason Graham, currently questionable for the game, would not be playing.

Shedeur Sanders trade: What Browns GM Andrew Berry is rumored to think about the QB
While it may not be the be-all-and-end-all in the NFL anymore, the quarterback position always gets an outsized amount of attention. The search for a long-term franchise quarterback continues for the Cleveland Browns. Few, if any, believe that QB Deshaun Watson will ever fulfill the value that the Browns paid to acquire him in a trade, much less his huge contract.

Browns among many teams uncertain at the QB position; “franchise QBs” rare long-term
Few, if any, Cleveland Browns fans believe the team has its long-term franchise quarterback on the current roster. Most hope that Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, or Taylen Green become that guy, and quickly. Given veteran QB Deshaun Watson's history, age, and injuries, a future in Cleveland seems unlikely, even with extension rumors starting before the team's Week 5 loss. The NFL continues to undergo an interesting process, with no end in sight, as usual, when it comes to winning Super Bowls.
