  • Browns' Mohamoud Diabate: Season high in tackles Sunday

    Diabate recorded nine total tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens. Cleveland's second-string middle linebacker stepped up in the absence of Jordan Hicks (elbow) in Week 8, tying Grant Delpit for the team lead in tackles. Diabate has now accumulated 22 total tackles and one pass defended through four appearances this season. He could draw another start in Week 9's matchup against the Chargers if Hicks can't return from injury.

  • Browns' Mohamoud Diabate: Logs seven tackles in return

    Diabate finished Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles with seven tackles (four solo). Diabate missed the last four regular-season games while on injured reserve due to a hip injury. He saw a heavy workload immediately as he served as the starting middle linebacker Saturday due to Jordan Hicks (elbow) being inactive. Diabate should start again in Week 7 against the Bengals if Hicks cannot suit up.

  • Browns' Mohamoud Diabate: Activated off injured reserve

    The Browns activated Diabate (hip) off IR on Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Diabate hurt his hip Week 1 against Dallas and was subsequently placed on IR. He was designated to return this past Wednesday and logged a limited practice both Wednesday and Thursday before recording a full session Friday. Diabate thus seems set to return Sunday versus Philadelphia, which could be an important development for the Browns since Jordan Hicks is questionable for the contest -- and may not play a full slate of snaps if he does suit up -- due to an elbow injury.

  • Browns' Mohamoud Diabate: Designated to return

    Diabate (hip) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Diabate had missed Cleveland's last four contests after suffering a hip injury during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, but it appears he'll be returning to the field soon. Cleveland now has 21 days to activate Diabate to its active roster before he reverts to IR. Expect the 23-year-old to serve as a depth piece in the Browns' middle linebacker corps once he's fully past his hip issue.

    Diabate (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Diabate had one tackle in Sunday's game before exiting with the thumb injury. He got extended playing time at weakside linebacker ahead of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah with the Browns locked into the fifth seed of the AFC.

  • Browns' Mohamoud Diabate: Improves roster chances

    Diabate had a team-high seven tackles, including one for a loss that became a safety, and forced a fumble in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles. Diabate, an undrafted free-agent linebacker, has impressed during practice and earned some run on the first special teams unit in last week's preseason game. On Thursday, when the Browns sat several regulars, Diabate was a disruptive force as the starting middle linebacker. He's a long shot to make the 53-man roster, but his chances are better than they were when training camp started.
