The Cleveland Browns placed linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on injured reserve today with a foot injury, ending his season. Owusu-Koramoah, a second-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2021, is the fourth linebacker the Browns have lost to a season-long injury, joining Anthony Walker Jr., Jacob Phillips and Sione Takitaki. The news was reported by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Browns in Week 18, they’ll be facing a depleted defense that just lost one of its most consistent contributors in Owusu-Koramoah. This season, he has 70 tackles, four pass deflections and two forced fumbles in 11 games, numbers that are crazy similar to his rookie year totals, when he totaled 76 tackles, four pass deflections and two forced fumbles in 14 games.
