Officially, the Browns announced that they place Owusu-Koramoah on the reserve/due to the neck injury, which he had suffered against the Baltimore Ravens on October 27, was physically unable to carry out a list. They do not plan to take it off the list for the duration of the season.

“Jeremiah's health is of great importance for us, and although he has made progress in recovery, we made the decision to bring him to reserve/puppy, which means that he will not play football during the 2025 season,” said General Manager Andrew Berry in a statement. “Jeremiah has the full support of our team, and we expect that he will continue to be part of the organization, even though he will not return to the field this year. We will not make a predictions about Jeremiah's football at that time, but we note that he is in a good mood and continues to take the advice from the first -class medical experts who continue to advise his progress and relaxation.”

The second round 2021 from the University of Notre Dame also published a statement aimed at Browns fans. It said:

“To the fan base of Cleveland Browns and my supporters worldwide – thanks for your patience in my silence.

From day one, they accepted me as more than one player, but also as a brother and young man on purpose. I am grateful to the Browns organization for their full support and the first-class doctors who lead me through recovery. Although I will not adapt this season, I concentrate on what I can control – my healing, my attitude and my faith. The body may rest, but the calling never sleeps. I gave this game my heart. I don't know what will come next, but I will continue to trust my medical team, serve the community and support my brothers on the field.

Always love, always,

JOK “

Browns protected Owusu-Koramoah's status since he suffered a neck injury against the Baltimore Ravens in the third quarter of a week. He suffered the injury when he entered to trace Derrick Henry.

The Browns LineBacker spent the night in the Cleveland Medical Center of the University Clinics for observation. He was released the next day and was in the team facility and on for the rest of the season.

Berry had been asked twice for the season between the end of March and the end of April twice for the season, once in a small group setting at the NFL owner sessions at the end of March and one at his press conference before the disappointment on April 17. Both times he refused to return an exact timeline for Owusu-Koramoah's return.

“Yes, he continues what is positive,” said Berry at the owner meetings at the end of March. “I will be honest, it is still a bit nebulous in relation to what this time frame looks like. So we really try to deal with it week to week and month to month.”

Owusu-Koramoah was present for the Browns-OffSeason training program in Berea. The team's social media account even released a video of him that arrived on April 1st.

The Browns selected the UCLA linacker Carson Schwesinger with the first choice of the second round (No. 33) of the April design. The step seemed to be a signal that Owusu-Koramoah's status was questioned for at least 2025, if not his career.

However, Berry denied that the two were related. However, he also seemed to talk about Owusu-Koramoah in the past as he described why the team created an off-ball linacker so high if it is not always a position of need.

“For Us to Maybe Go Outside of the Norm, we have to project them to be to be to do something or well above average in the passing game,” Berry Said on April 25th “and for Jeremiah, that what real his ability as a blitzer. of scrimmage and everything, but he was real Special – or Is I should say something special as a speed camera. “

Owusu-Koramoah had not been seen or heard by the media that covered the team since the injury before the video he issued took place in the facility. That, together with various answers that his teammates and coaches gave last season, was only concerned with concern for his long -term well -being.

The Browns-Linacker coach Jason Tarver gave the most detailed update when he spoke against Miami Dolphins a week ago.

“We all only have that he is able to find out everything you have to find out with his travel schedule to see different doctors and things to only make sure he is good,” said Tarver on December 27th. “But good atmosphere, not hurt.

On August 14, 2024, Owusu-Koramoah signed an extension of three years $ 39 million with the browns. At the time of the injury, he was in the middle of his best season.

Owusu-Koramoah led the team in combined duels (60), Solostops (38), Assisted Tackles (22), Interceptions (one) and tackles for the loss (10) at the time of the injury. He was also in the middle of a strong game before he was injured, with seven tackles, a sack, three duels for losses and two quarterback hits.

That came to one per bowl season in 2023 when he played 16 out of 17 games of the regular season. The only one who was the season finale in Cincinnati when coach Kevin Stefanski held in front of the playoffs. He ended with 20 duels for losses, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions, a forced fumble and 101 combined duels.

Owusu-Koramoah performed in 49 career games in four seasons. He distributed 302 duels, eight sacks, three interceptions, 17 passes, six forced fiddles and 40 duels for the loss.
