The Cleveland Browns ruled out defensive tackles Mason Graham and Mike Hall Jr. for Sunday's road game against the New York Jets. Neither player practiced this week after sustaining injuries in Cleveland's Week 4 home win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Graham sprained his MCL and ankle, and the Browns said they will evaluate him week to week. Hall injured his ankle but returned to finish the game and recorded his first sack of the season. Graham, the fifth overall pick in the 2025 draft, ranks fifth in the NFL with a team-high four sacks.
Cleveland also ruled out defensive tackle Kalia Davis (quad), quarterback Dillon Gabriel (back), guard Teven Jenkins (back), wide receiver Tylan Wallace (knee) and tight end Carsen Ryan. The injuries add depth concerns to an already thin defensive line rotation.
Davis and Gabriel were designated to return to practice from injured reserve and returned to practice this week, providing some positive injury updates for the coaching staff heading into the matchup with the Jets.
