Schwesinger (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The starting middle linebacker logged a week of limited practice sessions, enough to be cleared of the shoulder injury he likely sustained in the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Jets. Schwesinger logged a team-high nine tackles, including a half-sack, while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the loss. Schwesinger is the wearer of the defensive green dot, so the Browns will need the rookie's prowess and communication for a tough AFC North showdown with the Ravens on Sunday.

Schwesinger was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger overcame an ankle injury to play in the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Jets, when he logged a team-high nine tackles, including 0.5 sacks, while playing every single defensive snap. He now appears to be working through a shoulder issue, though his ability to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity indicates the injury isn't serious. The rookie second-rounder would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's AFC North tilt against the Ravens if he practices in full Thursday or Friday.

Schwesinger (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie from UCLA didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to an ankle injury, but he's still got a chance to suit up in Week 10. Schwesinger has had an impressive start to his rookie campaign, recording 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one interception across eight contests. If he's held out Sunday, Jerome Baker is expected to have an expanded role in the Browns' linebacker corps.

Schwesinger (ankle) isn't practicing Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger is still recovering from a high-ankle sprain sustained against the Patriots in Week 8. If the rookie linebacker sits out Sunday against the Jets, Jerome Baker or Easton Mascarenas-Arnold could get more opportunities in Cleveland's banged-up linebacking corps.

Schwesinger (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie linebacker from UCLA sustained a high ankle sprain in the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise he's sidelined following the team's Week 9 bye. Although Schwesinger's injury isn't considered to be "major," he'll likely be held out of the Week 10 matchup against the Jets unless he can upgrade to at least a limited practice session Thursday or Friday.

Schwesinger sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Patriots, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old played 66 total snaps (57 on defense, nine on special teams) and recorded five total tackles and an interception prior to exiting Sunday's loss with an ankle issue. Although Schwesinger sustained a high-ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network revealed that it's not believed to be "major," and he'll be reevaluated following Cleveland's Week 9 bye. The rookie linebacker has been an integral part of the Browns' defense thus far, recording a team-leading 64 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one interception over his first eight NFL games. Mohamoud Diabate and Jerome Baker will both likely have expanded defensive roles if Schwesigner misses time. Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports that the rookie is expected to avoid a stint on IR.

Schwesinger is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's Week 8 loss to New England and is slated for an MRI, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger was hurt midway through the fourth quarter and didn't return. He had a nice game before getting injured, tallying five tackles and an interception. the typical recovery timeline for a high-ankle sprain is about 4-6 weeks, and the results of Schwesinger's MRI should provide some clarity about whether he's at risk of missing time. However, Cleveland has a Week 9 bye, so Schwesinger will have some extra time to recover before the Browns' next game, which will take place Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Jets.

Schwesinger registered seven tackles (three solo) during the Browns' 31-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger's seven tackles were his lowest since Week 2 against the Ravens (five), but he still led the Browns in that category while playing every single snap for a third straight game. The rookie second-rounder leads the Browns with 59 total tackles through seven regular-season games, which is tied with Alex Singleton and Quay Walker for 10th most in the NFL.
