Dawgs By Nature
The Cleveland Browns are staggering to the finish line of the 2025 regular season, which mercifully comes to a conclusion on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
While there is not much to be gained for either team by playing the game, outside of defensive end Myles Garrett’s quest to set an NFL record for sacks in a single season, league rules stipulate that the game must go on!
To that end, the Browns announced a handful of small roster moves on Saturday afternoon to help them get through the game.
A day after ruling linebacker Carson Schwesinger out as he is dealing with injuries to his quad and ankle, Cleveland placed him on the injured reserve list. That officially ends an impressive season from Schwesinger, one that should earn him the Defensive Rookie of the Year honor, as he led all rookies in tackles (146), tackles for loss (11), and is tied for third with two interceptions.
To fill his place against the Bengals, the Browns signed linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio to the active roster from their practice squad.
The 6-foot-1 and 240-pound Ulofoshio was originally selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. He appeared in four games with the Bills as a rookie, splitting his time between defense and special teams. Ulofoshio has six tackles, one tackle for loss, and a pass defensed on his NFL account heading into Sunday’s game.
Cleveland will also be without their top two tight ends as rookie Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) and veteran David Njoku (knee) were ruled out on Friday. They do need someone for quarterback Shedeur Sanders to target, because the wide receivers are not necessarily getting it done, so they elevated tight end Sal Cannella from the practice squad.
The 6-foot-5 and 242-pound Cannella made his NFL debut last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers and caught two passes for 11 yards. Prior to coming to Cleveland, Cannella had a nice tour of the country as he spent time with the Miami Dolphins (2021), Green Bay Packers (2022), Seattle Seahawks (2023), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2024).
Finally, guard Teven Jenkins, who was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, has cleared concussion protocol and looks good to go against the Bengals.
