Going into the 2023 season, the linebacker room with the Cleveland Browns hadn’t changed all that much. The year before was a season to forget with this room as almost every week another athlete would go down to some sort of injury.
Anthony Walker, JOK, Sione Takitaki, Jordan Kunaszyk, and Jacob Phillips landed on IR for various periods. At season’s end, the coaching staff was pulling guys off the street to play. Special teams ace Tony Fields was thrust into service and played well. The team made a trade for Deion Jones, brought back Tae Davis, and plucked Reggie Ragland and Jermaine Carter from the waiver wire.
