Browns' Greg Newsome: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Newsome suffered a concussion in Week 10 and has been sidelined since, so his return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, is encouraging. The second-year cornerback will have two more opportunities to log a full session before Cleveland needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Newsome sustained a concussion during practice ahead of Cleveland's loss to Buffalo in Week 11, and he now appears to be in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game with that injury.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Buffalo, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
Newsome was officially diagnosed with a concussion after being involved in a collision during practice Friday, per Poisal. As a result, the second-year corner will miss Sunday's contest and look to clear the league's protocols ahead of Cleveland's Week 12 contest versus Tampa Bay. Newsome has recorded 24 tackles, 0.5 sacks and one pass defended over nine starts this season, and his absence will leave the Browns' defense short-handed against Buffalo's prolific passing attack.

Rotowire

Browns' Greg Newsome: More confident in Year 2
Rotowire
Newsome made two interceptions during Saturday's session and continued what most observers feel has been a strong showing in camp, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Whether it's from Jackson of The Atheltic or Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site, Newsome is getting rave reviews. The 2021 first-round pick looks more confident as he prepares for a second NFL season. He's on the field with the ones and expected to start at cornerback along with Denzel Ward (foot). In obvious passing situations or against multiple wideout sets, the Browns expect to move Newsome inside to the slot while Greedy Williams replaces him on the outside.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Full participant Friday
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Newsome was limited Thursday after clearing the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols, but he took a step in the right direction Friday by returning to the practice field as a full participant. Head coach Kevin Stefanski already stated earlier in the week that Newsome cleared the five-step concussion protocol after suffering the head injury prior to landing on the COVID-19 list, so the rookie cornerback should be good to go for Monday's game in Pittsburgh.
