Browns place LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on reserve/PUP

BEREA, Ohio – The Cleveland Browns have placed LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck) on reserve/physically unable to perform.

Owusu-Koramoah, a second-round pick in 2021, sustained a neck injury against the Ravens on Oct. 27, 2024. The Pro Bowl LB has appeared in 49 career games and recorded 302 tackles, eight sacks, three interceptions, 17 passes defensed, six forced fumbles and 40 tackles for loss.

Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Andrew Berry:

Jeremiah’s health is of the utmost importance to us and although he has made progress towards recovery, we’ve made the decision to place him on Reserve/PUP, which means he will not play football during the 2025 season. Jeremiah has the full support of our team, and we expect him to continue to be a part of the organization even though he will not return to the field this year. We will not make any predictions on Jeremiah’s football future at this time, but we do note that he’s in good spirits and will continue to take the advice of the world-class medical experts who will continue to guide his progress and recovery.

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah:

To the Cleveland Browns fanbase and my supporters worldwide—thank you for your patience in my silence.

From day one, you embraced me as more than a player, but also as a brother and young man with purpose.

I’m grateful to the Browns organization for their full support, and to the world-class doctors guiding me through recovery.

While I won’t suit up this season, I’m focused on what I can control—my healing, my mindset, and my faith. The body may rest, but the calling never sleeps.

I’ve given my heart to this game. I don’t know what’s next, but I’ll continue trusting my medical team, serving the community, and backing my brothers on the field.

Love always,

JOK
