- Mason Graham is considered week-to-week after suffering MCL and ankle sprains during the opening series of Thursday's game against Pittsburgh, the Browns announced Friday.
- Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that an MRI confirmed the injuries and Graham is expected to miss a few weeks.
- Graham's left leg bent awkwardly while he was being blocked on Pittsburgh's first series; he walked to the medical tent with assistance before retreating to the locker room.
- Graham left the postgame locker room on crutches and wearing a brace after Cleveland's 27-24 win over the Steelers.
- Graham, the No. 5 pick in the 2025 draft, leads the Browns with four sacks in his second season — a total tied for the second most in the NFL.
- The Browns will be without their top pass rusher for multiple weeks, a significant blow to a Cleveland defense that just improved to 1-0 in the division.
Why it matters: Cleveland loses its sack leader — a top-five draft pick tied for second in the NFL with four sacks — for a multi-week stretch right after a divisional win, forcing the Browns' defensive line to generate pressure without its most productive interior rusher.
