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.
