Cleared to play Week 1
Diabate (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plan Dealer reports.
Analysis: Diabate was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to full participation Friday to avoid a Week 1 injury designation. He's expected to occupy a starting linebacker role for the Browns in 2025.

Dealing with injury
Diabate did not participate in Monday's training camp practice due to an undisclosed injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: The unspecified injury also caused Diabate to miss Friday's preseason game against the Panthers. The nature and severity of the injury isn't clear, so Diabate's practice participation over the coming week will be an indicator of his availability for Saturday's exhibition contest against the Eagles. He played 13 regular-season games (11 starts) for the Browns in 2024 and finished with 70 tackles (35 solo) and three pass defenses.

Starts 11 games in 2024
Diabate finished the 2024 season with 70 tackles (35 solo) and three pass breakups across 13 games with Cleveland.
Analysis: Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Utah in 2023, Diabate appeared in 16 games as a rookie but played just 27 snaps on defense. His playing time on defense skyrocketed in Diabate's second season, seeing 581 snaps on that side of the ball. Starting linebackers Jordan Hicks and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah combining to miss 14 contests allowed Diabate to get more of a chance to play. Diabate is signed through the 2025 campaign.

Six tackles against Miami
Diabate tallied six tackles (three solo) during the Browns' 20-3 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Diabate tied with Ronnie Hickman as the Browns' third-leading tacklers Sunday behind Grant Delpit (nine) and Jordan Hicks (seven), the latter of whom was diagnosed with a concussion and did not return in the second half. Diabate has logged at least six combined tackles in five of the Browns' seven games since the Week 10 bye, and for the season he's logged 65 tackles (33 solo) and three pass defenses across 12 games.

Tallies seven stops in loss
Diabate recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Despite Jordan Hicks' return in Week 11, Diabate still played 79 percent of the Browns' defensive snaps and finished as Cleveland's third-leading tackler. Diabate has now accumulated 33 total tackles and two passes defended through six appearances this season. His next opportunity to contribute will come in Week 12, when the Browns host the Steelers on Thursday night.

Season high in tackles Sunday
Diabate recorded nine total tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Cleveland's second-string middle linebacker stepped up in the absence of Jordan Hicks (elbow) in Week 8, tying Grant Delpit for the team lead in tackles. Diabate has now accumulated 22 total tackles and one pass defended through four appearances this season. He could draw another start in Week 9's matchup against the Chargers if Hicks can't return from injury.

Logs seven tackles in return
Diabate finished Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles with seven tackles (four solo).
Analysis: Diabate missed the last four regular-season games while on injured reserve due to a hip injury. He saw a heavy workload immediately as he served as the starting middle linebacker Saturday due to Jordan Hicks (elbow) being inactive. Diabate should start again in Week 7 against the Bengals if Hicks cannot suit up.

Perfect timing for return
Diabate (hip) is active Week 6 against the Eagles.
Analysis: Diabate hasn't seen the field since serving primarily on special teams in Week 1, but he was activated from the IR on Saturday and could be tasked with a meaningful role given starting middle linebacker Jordan Hicks (elbow) is inactive for the contest.

Activated off injured reserve
The Browns activated Diabate (hip) off IR on Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Diabate hurt his hip Week 1 against Dallas and was subsequently placed on IR. He was designated to return this past Wednesday and logged a limited practice both Wednesday and Thursday before recording a full session Friday. Diabate thus seems set to return Sunday versus Philadelphia, which could be an important development for the Browns since Jordan Hicks is questionable for the contest -- and may not play a full slate of snaps if he does suit up -- due to an elbow injury.

Designated to return
Diabate (hip) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Diabate had missed Cleveland's last four contests after suffering a hip injury during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, but it appears he'll be returning to the field soon. Cleveland now has 21 days to activate Diabate to its active roster before he reverts to IR. Expect the 23-year-old to serve as a depth piece in the Browns' middle linebacker corps once he's fully past his hip issue.

Moves to IR
Diabate (hip) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Diabate suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and was initially considered week-to-week. The Utah product is now guaranteed to miss at least the next four games before being eligible to return to the active roster. Considering his initial diagnosis, it's likely Diabate won't miss much more time than that.

Considered week-to-week
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Diabate (hip) is considered week-to-week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: The Utah product played 27 total snaps (21 on special teams and six defensive) and logged two total tackles before exiting Sunday's contest with a hip injury. If Diabate misses the Browns' Week 2 affair with this issue, expect Nathaniel Watson to see more work as a rotational inside linebacker.

Exits Week 1 with hip injury
Diabate won't return to Sunday's game against Dallas after suffering a hip injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: Diabate was ruled out in the middle of the third quarter. Prior to his exit, the linebacker notched two tackles (one solo). Diabate's status for next Sunday's matchup with Jacksonville should become clearer during the practice week.
