Wright had career highs in tackles (37) and sacks (5.5) along with one pass defensed and one forced fumble over 14 regular-season games in 2025.
Like other players on the defensive line, Wright operated outside the limelight that shone on Myles Garrett, who established a new NFL record with 23.0 sacks in 2025. However, Wright's most productive season of his four-year career did not go unnoticed, as the Browns signed him to a three-year extension in November of 2025. Playing opposite Garrett, who draws a lot of attention, could lead to more sacks for Wright in 2026.

Browns' Mason Graham: Quiet first season
Rotowire
Graham had 49 tackles (seven for loss), 0.5 sacks and four passes defensed over 17 regular-season games in 2025.
It was a quiet rookie season for Graham, the fifth-overall draft pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, who toiled away on the interior in the shadow of edge rusher Myles Garrett. He was also overshadowed by fellow rookie and linebacker Carson Schwesinger (ankle), who led the team with 156 tackles, but Graham was a steady presence at defensive tackle. His 763 snaps led all rookie interior linemen, and he finished second on the team in quarterback pressures (36) behind Garrett. Graham did enough to earn a nod on the All-Rookie team.

Rotowire
Campbell had a career-high 87 tackles (54 solo), two forced fumbles and one interception over a combined 17 regular-season games for Jacksonville and Cleveland in 2025.
Campbell was dealt from the playoff-bound Jaguars to the Browns after five games and didn't miss a beat with his new team. He forced a fumble in his first game following the trade then returned an interception for a touchdown in a win over the Dolphins in his second game. He's locked in for another three seasons and should line up opposite Denzel Ward at cornerback.

Pro Football Focus graded him at 75.3 in coverage and 71.6 overall, topping all members of Cleveland's secondary.

Browns' Sam Webb: Fills in, scores in win
Rotowire
Webb had four tackles and returned a fumble for a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 win over Cincinnati in Week 18.
Webb entered the game for an injured Denzel Ward (neck) and impacted Cleveland's second consecutive win over a division rival to close out the regular season. After Devin Bush returned an interception 97 yards for a score, Webb scooped up a fumble on the Bengals' next possession and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. The latter was signed off the Titans' practice squad in mid-November and was used sparingly before his Week 18 heroics. In seven games with the Browns, Webb had eight tackles and one pass defensed in addition to the fumble recovery and touchdown Sunday.

Rotowire
Bush recorded a team-high 14 tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 win over Cincinnati in Week 18.
With the Bengals knocking on the door and about to take a two-score lead, Bush grabbed a deflected pass and raced 97 yards untouched to give Cleveland a lead. It was the second pick-six of the season for Bush and third of his career. With Carson Schwesinger (ankle) inactive, Bush picked up some extra tackles (a season high) and upped his season total to 125 stops, a new career high.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Sets all-time sack record
Rotowire
Garrett recorded 1.0 sack on his only tackle and added a second QB hit in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals.
His fourth-quarter takedown of Joe Burrow put Garrett in the history books, as it gave him 23.0 sacks on the season -- breaking the NFL record of 22.5 previously held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt. Garrett's stellar campaign was one of the few bright spots for the Browns in 2025, and he's delivered at least 14.0 sacks in five straight seasons. With a contract that runs through 2030, the 30-year-old edge rusher should return as the centerpiece of the Cleveland defense next year.

Campbell (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Campbell left Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury, but he has been cleared by medical staff to return. Denzel Ward (neck) will not return, so Sam Webb and D'Angelo Ross are slated for more work at outside corner opposite Campbell the rest of the way.

Browns' Myles Harden: Active for Week 18
Rotowire
Harden (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Harden logged consecutive limited practice sessions to end the week. The consistent practice seems to have been enough to allow the slot cornerback to suit up for the Browns' last clash of the 2025 season.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Heads to IR with ankle injury
Rotowire
The Browns placed Schwesinger (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
Schwesinger was ruled out for the Browns' season finale Friday, but the move to injured reserve likely created space for Edefuan Ulofoshio to move up to the active roster. Schwesinger, a 2025 second-round pick, ends his stellar rookie campaign with 156 tackles (67 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including two interceptions. Jerome Baker will likely have an expanded role in Week 18 with Schwesinger out.

Reid (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Reid was limited in practice all week but won't be activated from injured reserve in time for Sunday's regular-season finale. He'll end up missing the entire 2025 campaign after appearing in 16 contests last season.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Officially cleared for Week 18
Rotowire
Garrett (hip) doesn't carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Garrett ended Week 18 prep with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's regular-season finale. The veteran pass rusher sits at 22.0 sacks through 16 regular-season games and is one sack shy from surpassing Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt for the NFL's single-season record.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Missing season finale
Rotowire
Schwesinger (quadriceps/ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Schwesinger didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to quadricep and ankle injuries, and he's now in line to miss his first game of the season Sunday. The 2025 second-round pick from UCLA had a stellar rookie campaign, finishing with 156 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, over 16 appearances. Jerome Baker will likely have an expanded role in the Browns' linebacker corps while Schwesinger is sidelined in Week 18.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Working through hip issue
Rotowire
Garrett (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
The hip injury appears to be a new issue for the veteran pass rusher, given that he wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report. Garrett's practice participation Friday will shed light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Bengals, when he'll look to log one more sack to break the NFL's single-season record.

Browns' Sam Kamara: Practices fully Wednesday

Kamara was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Kamara has missed the Browns' last two games with an elbow injury. He should return to a rotational role along Cleveland's defensive line in Week 18 against the Bengals.

Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Held out of practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Schwesinger (quad/ankle) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Schwesinger has been managing an ankle issue since late November, and he was said to have played through a thigh injury this past Sunday in a win over Pittsburgh. He's now listed as also dealing with a quad issue, though it's not clear if it's related to the aforementioned thigh problem. Regardless, the dynamic rookie's practice status the remainder of the week should provide insight into how serious his injuries are. Cleveland doesn't have much to play for Week 18 against Cincinnati, but Schwesinger -- who has 156 tackles on the season -- does have an outside chance of reaching Patrick Willis' record for stops by a rookie (174).

Browns' Myles Harden: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Harden (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Harden missed last Sunday's win over the Steelers with the shoulder injury, allowing Tre Avery to soak up extra reps at cornerback. Harden has appeared in 15 games this season, producing 47 tackles (28 solo) and four pass breakups across 55 percent of the defensive snaps.
