  • Career-best 80 tackles in 2024

    Emerson (ankle) finished the 2024 season with 80 tackles (62 solo), five pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 games with Cleveland.

    Analysis: Emerson started a career-high 15 games during the 2024 campaign, and the 2022 third-round pick has missed just one game since entering the league. His 80 tackles marked a new career best, but his five pass deflections represented quite the downturn from his tallies of 14 and 15 in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Emerson is scheduled to head into the final year of his rookie contract and could be a candidate for an extension this offseason. He injured his ankle in the Week 18 season finale, and the…read more

  • Exits game due to ankle injury

    Emerson (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Emerson injured his ankle in the third quarter, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return for the fourth. With Denzel Ward (shoulder) inactive and Mike Ford (forearm) also questionable to return, the Browns' defense will rely on Cameron Mitchell, Rodney McLeod and Chigozie Anusiem to serve as the corners.

  • Good to go against Bengals

    Emerson (concussion/back) is active for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Emerson entered concussion protocols following the Browns' Week 15 loss to the Chiefs, and he was also limited in practice this past week due to a back injury. He's managed to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and has overcome his back issue, and he will suit up in Sunday's AFC North clash. Emerson has registered 23 tackles (19 solo) in the Bengals' five games since the Week 10 bye.

  • Dealing with back injury

    Emerson, who was previously deemed questionable for Sunday's Week 16 game against Cincinnati due to a concussion, also has a back issue, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Emerson suffered a concussion last Sunday versus the Chiefs, and he hasn't yet cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. His status for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals is now further complicated by a back issue. If Emerson ends up not being able to play against Cincinnati, Mike Ford would likely start at cornerback.

  • Questionable vs. Bengals

    Emerson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's outing against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Emerson is officially questionable for Cleveland's Week 16 matchup in Cincinnati. The third-year cornerback is in the concussion protocol after leaving last weekend's matchup against Kansas City.

  • Concussion confirmed

    Emerson (concussion) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Emerson is officially in the concussion protocol after having been forced out of Cleveland's loss to the Chiefs due to what was initially called a head injury. If he's unable to gain full clearance in time for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, backup Mike Ford will face an opportunity to handle an expanded role on defense.

  • Downgraded to out Sunday

    Emerson (head) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

  • Full go Wednesday

    Emerson (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Emerson sustained a rib injury in the Browns' Week 6 loss to the Eagles, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's already moved past the issue. Expect the third-year pro out of Mississippi State to continue starting alongside Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greg Newsome as part of the Browns' top cornerback trio ahead of Cleveland's Week 7 matchup against the Bengals.

  • Ailing after game

    Emerson suffered a rib injury during Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Emerson has struggled this season and will now have an injury to overcome ahead of Week 7's matchup with the Bengals. Details of the severity of the injury and his likeliness to suit up next week will likely come in the days ahead.

  • Laments rough start

    Emerson acknowledged to Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal that he has not played well to start the 2024 season. "Self-evaluation, I'm not playing the ball that I want to play right now," Emerson said.

    Analysis: Emerson emerged as a capable cornerback in 2023 and allowed one touchdown on 73 targets, per Pro Football Focus, but progress has not been linear in 2024. He's given up three touchdowns and allowed 16 catches on 25 targets through five games. That included a 41-yard touchdown against Washington last week just before halftime to give the Commanders a 24-3 lead. Things will not get easier in Week 6 for Emerson, who will be tasked with guarding Eagles wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta…read more

  • Clears protocol

    Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Emerson has cleared concussion protocol, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was diagnosed with a concussion after the Browns' Week 4 loss to the Raiders, but it now appears he's already moved past the issue. Emerson has accumulated 24 total tackles and two passes defended across Cleveland's first four contests, and he's expected to continue locking down opposing wide receivers now that he's past his concussion.

  • Enters concussion protocol

    Emerson is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders, per coach Kevin Stefanski, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Emerson was evaluated for a head injury after the game, and the tests revealed a concussion. He will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to play against the Commanders in Week 5. Mike Ford and Cameron Mitchell are options to start opposite Denzel Ward if Emerson misses time, or nickel cornerback Greg Newsome could shift outside.

    Emerson is getting evaluated for a concussion following Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The starting cornerback made six tackles (five solo) in Sunday's game. Emerson has 24 stops (16 solo) and two passes defensed through four games this season. Mike Ford, Cameron Mitchell and Tony Brown are Cleveland's available backup corners.

  • Fades injury report

    Emerson (ankle) was not listed on the Browns' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Emerson tweaked his ankle in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys, but the issue appears to be minor as he was a full practice participant Wednesday. The 2022 third-round pick finished Sunday's game with eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defended.

  • Should be OK

    Emerson (ankle) briefly left Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys, but according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, the cornerback is expected to be OK, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Emerson had eight tackles (five solo) in the loss, along with a pass defended. The third-year pro's status will still likely be worth monitoring over the week ahead of their Week 2 matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Records two tackles in playoff loss

    Emerson had two tackles and played 41 of 46 snaps in last Saturday's 45-14 wild-card playoff loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Emerson and the Browns' defense had a rough final game. He was most notable for an attempted arm tackle of Brevin Jordan, who cut inside and raced to the end zone for a 76-yard catch-and-run touchdown. The second-year cornerback led the Browns with four interceptions and finished fourth with 59 tackles during the regular season.

  • Continues to impress in coverage

    Emerson recorded three tackles (three solo) and two passes defensed in Thursday's 37-20 win versus the Jets.

    Analysis: Thursday's was the second game in the last four weeks and the third game this season in which Emerson recorded multiple pass breakups. In Week 18, he'll have a tough test against Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder), Tee Higgins and the Bengals.

  • Cleared to suit up Thursday

    Emerson (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday and does not have an injury designation for Thursday's clash against the Jets, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Emerson departed Sunday's Week 16 game against Houston early and logged a limited practice session both Monday and Tuesday, but he was able to return to full participation Wednesday. That clears the way for him to suit up versus New York on Thursday Night Football. Emerson has been a key contributor in Cleveland's secondary this season, as he's tied for fifth in the NFL with four interceptions and tied for 13th with 12 passes defensed.

  • Limited Monday

    Emerson (ankle) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Emerson logged three solo tackles and one pass deflection in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Texans. He saw the field for 26 defensive snaps (53 percent) and three on special teams (14 percent) before exiting with a shin injury. His limited participation Monday does not shed a lot of light on his status for Thursday's game versus the Jets, so his status will need to be monitored as the week progresses.

  • Ruled out with shin injury

    Emerson (shin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

  • Two picks in win

    Emerson recorded four tackles, two interceptions and three passes defensed in Sunday's 31-27 win over Jacksonville in Week 14.

    Analysis: No Denzel Ward (shoulder), no problem. Emerson and Greg Newsome (one interception) each contributed to a defensive effort that was much better than the score might indicate -- Jacksonville scored 14 points after turnovers in Cleveland's end of the field. Emerson is up to a team-leading four picks and 10 passes defensed. He sits fourth on the team with 47 tackles.

  • Productive in Sunday's loss

    Emerson logged seven total tackles (three solo) and one pass deflection in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Emerson's seven stops were enough for him to tie with Juan Thornhill for Cleveland's leading tackler in Week 13. The second-year cornerback out of Mississippi State has played a vital role in the Browns' secondary this season, but the team was clearly hurting without Denzel Ward (shoulder), as it gave up its second-highest passing yards total on the year (279 yards). Emerson has recorded 43 total tackles, seven pass deflections and two interceptions through 12 games, and he'll look to help shut…read more

  • Logs second career interception

    Emerson compiled six tackles (five solo), a pass deflection and an interception during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Emerson had one of his most productive outings this season and managed to snag an interception, his second of both the season and career. The 2022 third-round pick will now look to help slow down Arizona's passing attack during a Week 9 matchup.

  • Makes first NFL pick

    Emerson had six tackles, an interception and an additional pass defensed in Sunday's 19-17 win over San Francisco in Week 6.

    Analysis: Emerson's third-quarter pick set up a short field for the offense, but the Browns couldn't capitalize. His first NFL interception was part of an impressive defensive effort, as Cleveland limited the 49ers to season lows in points and yards (215). Emerson has played all 22 games since being drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

  • Finishes strong rookie year

    Emerson had four tackles and two passes defensed in a 28-14 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 18.

    Analysis: The Browns drafted a good one when they selected Emerson in the third round of the 2022 draft. The rookie appeared in all 17 games, tied for the lead among team cornerbacks with 15 passes defensed and graded out as the best in coverage, per Pro Football Focus. He'll resume his role in the rotation next season.

  • Will start Sunday

    Emerson will draw a start at cornerback against the Bills, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Emerson gets the nod with Greg Newsome (concussion) inactive. The former has had a steady role this season, recording 38 tackles, a sack and seven passes defensed in nine games. He'll work to help contain the dangerous Buffalo offense Sunday.

  • Will lose snaps with Ward return

    Emerson may see fewer snaps Sunday against the Dolphins, as Denzel Ward is expected to return, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Emerson stepped up the last three games while Ward was sidelined with a concussion. He had four pass breakups while playing nearly all the snaps over the three weeks, registering a nine-tackle game in perhaps a season-saving win over the Bengals in Week 8. Emerson impressed coaches during the summer, earning a spot in the cornerback rotation, and should should not see a dramatic decrease in playing time.

  • Second-leading tackler Monday

    Emerson collected nine tackles (six solo) and two passes defended in Monday's 32-13 win against the Browns.

    Analysis: The 22-year-old logged a season high in tackles as starting cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) missed his third-straight game Monday. Emerson also finished with a team-high two passes defended in this contest. The rookie third-round pick has totaled 19 tackles (16 solo), one sack and four passes defended while playing nearly every defensive snap since Week 6; though, should Ward return following Cleveland's bye week, Emerson's playing time could take a step back against Miami on Sunday, Nov.…read more

  • Starts for Ward

    Emerson had six tackles and two passes defensed in Sunday's 38-15 loss to the Patriots in Week 6.

    Analysis: Emerson started in place of Denzel Ward (concussion) and played 66 of 70 snaps. He flashed ample skills during training camp and the Browns are confident in the rookie, who had a big fourth-down pass breakup in Week 5 that gave Cleveland a chance to pull out a victory in a loss to the Chargers.

  • Fills in for Ward

    Emerson filled in after Denzel Ward (concussion) left Week 5's 30-28 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Emerson was on the field for 30 snaps, recording three tackles and a huge fourth-down pass breakup. That gave the Browns their final chance, but Cade York missed a 54-yard field-goal attempt with seconds remaining. If Ward is unable to play Week 6 against New England, Emerson is the likely starter with either Greedy Williams (hamstring) or A.J. Green stepping in as the third cornerback in nickel packages.

  • Ball hawks for TD

    Emerson had three solo tackles and an interception return for a touchdown in Friday's win over Jacksonville in preseason action.

    Analysis: Emerson was beat on the Jaguars' first play, when Trevor Lawrence connected with Zay Jones for a 32-yard completion, but the rookie third-round pick made up for it in the second quarter when he won a 50-50 battle with Jeff Cotton, taking the ball out of the receiver's clutches for a 74-yard pick six. It was a big night for Cleveland draft picks, as Emerson and running back Jerome Ford accounted for all three touchdowns in a 24-13 win.

    Emerson was given reps at left cornerback with the first-team defense Saturday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Browns are cycling in several backups with top cover corner Denzel Ward (foot) unavailable, but it is notable that Emerson, the team's third-round pick in 2022, was on the field with the starting defense.
