Analysis: The 22-year-old upgraded from limited practice Wednesday and Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his ankle issue in time to play Sunday. Schwesinger has had an incredible rookie campaign thus far, recording 133 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, over 14 contests. He's expected to serve as the Browns' top middle linebacker in Week 16.

Analysis: Schwesinger continued his standout rookie campaign, leading Cleveland in tackles and setting a new single-game career-high mark. The talented linebacker has now recorded double-digit stops in five consecutive contests as he's quickly established himself as a premier IDP option. With 119 stops on the season, Schwesinger has already put his name in the Browns' record books with the highest mark by a rookie, though it would take a huge finish to the campaign for him to reach the NFL rookie record…read more

Ready to rock
Schwesinger (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Schwesinger was able to upgrade to full participation in practice Friday, just in time to dodge an injury designation for Sunday's contest. The linebacker has been consistently playing through the ankle injury he likely sustained against the Raiders in Week 12, and this week seems to be no different. The rookie second-rounder is the green dot of the defense, so the Browns maintaining a consistent signal caller for Week 14 should have a large impact on that side of the ball.

Limited again by ankle
Schwesinger (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Schwesinger was limited for a second consecutive practice, presumably with the same ankle injury that the rookie linebacker dealt with last week. He's been limited during practices with ankle or shoulder injuries the last month, but Schwesinger logged double-digit tackles in four straight contests. That four-game stretch was influential in him being named the Defensive Rookie of the Month for November, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site.

Limited Wednesday due to ankle issue
Schwesinger (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Schwesinger produced double-digit tackles for the fourth straight week against the 49ers on Sunday, but he also suffered an ankle injury during the loss. It's promising that he was able to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, and the rookie linebacker will have two more days this week to return to full participation. In the event Schwesinger isn't able to suit up Sunday versus Tennessee, Jerome Baker could step into a more prominent role.

Leading tackler in loss
Schwesinger recorded a team-high 10 tackles in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers in Week 13.
Analysis: Schwesinger dealt with an ankle injury during the week of preparation leading up to Week 13, but as was the case whenever he's popped up an injury report, the rookie linebacker was ready to go.

Limited at practice
Schwesinger (ankle) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Schwesinger led the team in takedowns in Cleveland's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12, notching 11 total tackles in the contest, but he may have suffered an ankle injury in the process. The linebacker played 96 percent of the team's defensive snaps versus Las Vegas, which may suggest that the ankle injury is minor. Schwesinger will have two more chances to notch a full practice before Sunday's matchup with San Francisco.

He leads the team with 85 tackles and is tied for the team lead with two interceptions.

Good to go
Schwesinger (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: The starting middle linebacker logged a week of limited practice sessions, enough to be cleared of the shoulder injury he likely sustained in the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Jets. Schwesinger logged a team-high nine tackles, including a half-sack, while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the loss. Schwesinger is the wearer of the defensive green dot, so the Browns will need the rookie's prowess and communication for a tough AFC North showdown with the Ravens on Sunday.

Nursing shoulder injury

Analysis: Schwesinger overcame an ankle injury to play in the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Jets, when he logged a team-high nine tackles, including 0.5 sacks, while playing every single defensive snap. He now appears to be working through a shoulder issue, though his ability to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity indicates the injury isn't serious.

Analysis: Schwesinger was hurt midway through the fourth quarter and didn't return. He had a nice game before getting injured, tallying five tackles and an interception. the typical recovery timeline for a high ankle sprain is about four to six weeks, and the results of Schwesinger's MRI should provide some clarity about whether he's at risk of missing time. However, Cleveland has a Week 9 bye, so Schwesinger will have some extra time to recover before the Browns' next game, which will take place Sunday,…read more
