Ethan Pocic Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns center Ethan Pocic (knee) was able to practice with the team on Monday and looks to be on track to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday versus the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. Pocic was wearing a knee brace on Monday after getting hurt in the preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams. "Yeah, he looks good. He's rehabbed very hard, so he looks good," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. Barring a setback the rest of the week in practice, Pocic should start at center this weekend as the Browns kick off the regular season. It's good news for Cleveland's offense and quarterback Joe Flacco, but they will still be fighting an uphill battle to start 1-0 in 2025.

Cleveland Browns starting center Ethan Pocic (knee) left Saturday's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams with a knee injury, the team announced. Pocic "appeared to get rolled up on during a 14-yard pass from quarterback Joe Flacco to rookie running back Dylan Sampson," according to Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com. Pocic exited in the first quarter, and the Browns replaced him with Luke Wypler. The 30-year-old Pocic is entering his fourth season as Cleveland's No. 1 center and has started in all 44 of his appearances with the team. He made a career-high 16 starts a year ago and ranked 28th among 64 centers at Pro Football Focus. If he misses any regular-season time, it would be an unwelcome development for Flacco and the Browns' running backs.

The Cleveland Browns re-signed center Ethan Pocic to an undisclosed three-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Pocic was originally a second-round selection by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017. He spent the first five years of his NFL career in Seattle before joining the Browns in 2022, where he started 13 games for the team. The 27-year-old became Cleveland's starter when Nick Harris suffered a season-ending knee injury in the preseason. With Harris coming back from injury in 2023, Pocic will have to battle to keep the starting gig in training camp this summer.

Cleveland Browns impending free-agent center Ethan Pocic, the No. 9 center in the league according to Pro Football Focus, played so well last year that he might have priced himself off the team's roster. According to Spotrac, his market will be around $7.2 million per year. The Browns also feel good about 2020 fifth-rounder Nick Harris, who is coming off a season-ending injury that he suffered in the preseason opener. Harris is on track to start the season on time, and the Browns still believe in him as a starter, so he could take over if Pocic signs elsewhere in free agency. Pocic missed four games with a knee injury but played great when he was on the field in 13 regular season games.

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed interior offensive lineman Ethan Pocic to a one-year, $3 million deal on Thursday, according to a source. The team's starting center will return. The 25-year-old started 14 games last year and found a home at center after playing both guard positions over his first three seasons in the league. Pocic was ranked 16th last season in pass-block win rate at his position. The second-round pick in 2017 has made 30 starts in four NFL seasons. Seattle also traded for guard Gabe Jackson, which should make quarterback Russell Wilson happy about his protection heading into 2021. Left tackle Duane Brown, right tackle Brandon Shell and right guard Damien Lewis will all return.
