The Cleveland Browns entered training camp with several questions at linebacker.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry knew which players were going to be in the mix for playing time, of course, led by Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, so it was more about when Sione Takitaki and Anthony Walker Jr. would be available as both are still recovering from their season-ending injuries in 2022.
The situation became a bit more muddled over the weekend, however, after linebacker Jacob Phillips was lost for the second-consecutive season with a torn pectoral muscle.
