Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mason Graham was ruled out of Thursday night's 27-24 home victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a knee injury. Graham, the No. 5 pick in the 2025 draft, sustained the injury during Pittsburgh's opening series when his left leg bent awkwardly while he was being blocked. He walked to the medical tent with assistance before heading to the locker room. Graham is off to a strong start in his second season; his four sacks lead the Browns and are tied for the second most in the NFL.
The Browns' defensive line depth took another hit later when Mike Hall Jr., Graham's replacement, was carted to the locker room with an ankle injury sustained in the second quarter. Hall returned to action in the third quarter. The win improved Cleveland's record against their AFC North rival.
