53 Joe Schobert MLB

Schobert accumulated seven tackles during Sunday's 28-16 win over the Falcons.

Schobert sat out the past three contests with a hamstring injury, but made his return Sunday against the Falcons. The linebacker out of Wisconsin typically is on the field for every defensive snap, though, to ease him back, the Browns had him out there for just under 70 percent of the snaps. Schobert is as a reliable IDP linebacker as there is, and he should be able to return to 100 percent usage when the Browns return from their bye week in Week 12.

Schobert (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Falcons.

Despite missing three games in a row, Schobert is the team's third-leading tackler, which shows the type of production he's capable of when on the field. He'll be instrumental in slowing down the Atlanta rushing attack lead by Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith.

Schobert (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Schobert has missed three consecutive games due to a lingering hamstring injury, and was a limited participant in practice all week. The third-year pro should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. With Christian Kirksey (hamstring) having been placed on injured reserve earlier this week, Ray-Ray Armstrong would slot into the starting lineup if Schobert is unable to suit up Week 10.

Schobert (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Schobert has missed each of the Browns' last three games as he continues to recover from a hamstring issue, but he took a step in the right direction Wednesday by participating in practice in some capacity. Friday's official injury report should provide more clarity regarding his chances of returning to game action Sunday against the Falcons.

Schobert (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Schobert will miss his third straight game since suffering the hamstring injury Week 6 against the Chargers. The 24-year-old did not practice this week and has no official timetable for his return. Christian Kirksey should again serve as the Browns' starting middle linebacker in his absence.
