Browns' Dylan Sampson: Held in check Sunday
Sampson carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals.
Making his second straight start with Quinshon Judkins (ankle) done for the year, Sampson wasn't able to get much going, with his longest gain of the day going for only 11 yards. The 2025 fourth-round pick wraps up his first NFL campaign with 446 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, both through the air, on 98 touches over 15 games. Assuming Judkins is healthy for the beginning of next season, Sampson figures to work behind him, primarily on passing downs.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Works as lead back
Sampson rushed the ball 11 times for 27 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for zero yards.
Sampson was able to return from a two-game absence, and he immediately led Cleveland's backfield with 14 touches. That translated to limited production, as he was inefficient as both a rusher and receiver. However, Sampson will likely retain a significant role for a more favorable Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Ready to play Sunday
Sampson (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
After sitting out the Browns' previous two games, Sampson took a questionable tag into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during Week 17 prep, but the rookie showed enough improvement to gain clearance for the penultimate game of the season. Sampson had typically handled a change-of-pace role over his previous 13 appearances, but the 21-year-old could be in store for his beefiest workload since Week 1 -- when he earned 20 touches (12 carries, eight receptions) -- after lead back Quinshon Judkins (ankle/fibula) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 16. Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams should still be involved out of the backfield Sunday to some degree, but Sampson likely profiles as the top fantasy option of the trio thanks largely to his talents as a pass catcher.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Officially questionable for Week 17
Sampson (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Sampson returned to practice as a limited participant during Week 17 prep after having missed Cleveland's prior two contests. The team will provide official word on his status no later than 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Sampson is cleared to face Pittsburgh on the road, he'll have an opportunity to handle the starting role in the Browns backfield, while Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders operate as depth options.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Limited on practice estimate
Sampson (hand) is listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
The Browns didn't officially hold an on-field practice Thursday, but had the team done so, it's estimated that Sampson would've reprised the limited activity level he logged Wednesday. The rookie running back hasn't played since Week 14, and he'll have one more chance to prove he can handle full practice reps Friday. With Quinshon Judkins (ankle/fibula) out for the year, Sampson will have a chance to lead a backfield that also houses Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders if he can gain clearance to play Sunday versus Pittsburgh.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Limited practice Wednesday
Sampson (hand) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Sampson, who last suited up in Week 14, didn't practice at all last week, so his return to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- bodes well for his chances of returning to the lineup Sunday against the Steelers. If Sampson is available this weekend, he'd have an opportunity to claim a key role in the Browns' Week 17 backfield, which will also include Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders, with Quinshon Judkins (ankle/fibula) now on injured reserve.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Looks set to practice Wednesday
Sampson (hand) is in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
The Browns will release their first Week 17 practice report later Wednesday, when it will be known whether Sampson was a limited or full participant. Sampson was unable to practice in any fashion last week before sitting out this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills, but if the rookie running back is able to move past the hand injury this week, he could be primed to handle a lead role out of the Cleveland backfield. Quinshon Judkins (ankle/fibula) underwent season-ending surgery and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, leaving Sampson, Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders as the available backs on Cleveland's 53-man roster.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Improving daily
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Sampson (hand/calf) is improving by the day, Noah Monroe of the Browns' official site reports.
Sampson sat out the Browns' Week 16 loss to the Bills, but the team has optimism the rookie running back will be back in action this Sunday against the Steelers. With Quinshon Judkins (ankle/fibula) out of action for the remainder of the season, the Browns hope to have a full complement of backs available that includes Sampson, Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams. If all are healthy for Week 17, Sampson would likely be in line to serve as the team's lead back.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Won't suit up in Week 16
Sampson (hand/calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Sampson will unsurprisingly miss a second consecutive game after being unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. The rookie fourth-round pick's next chance to play will come in Week 17 against the Steelers, while Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders will fill depth roles behind rookie second-round pick Quinshon Judkins against the Bills.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Another absence Friday
Sampson (hand/calf) isn't practicing Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Sampson hasn't practiced all week, so he's likely to be ruled out for a second consecutive game when the Browns release their injury report later Friday. Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders will likely work as the depth options behind Quinshon Judkins against the Bills on Sunday.

Browns' Dylan Sampson: Not practicing again
Sampson (hand/calf) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Sampson appears to be trending toward a second consecutive absence, which would position Trayveon Williams to again handle the No. 2 RB role behind Quinshon Judkins, while Raheim Sanders is on hand for reserve duties. Sampson will have one final chance to get back on the practice field Friday, at which point the Browns will decide his initial injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.
