Greg Newsome II News
Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome (elbow) has been ruled out for the Week 3 contest on Sunday against the visiting Tennessee Titans. Newsome got hurt in the Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 and will now have to miss this weekend's game on a short week. The Browns will now need to replace the 23-year-old in the slot for a matchup with the Titans. The 26th overall pick of the 2021 draft out of Northwestern, Newsome had eight tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed in the first two games of the season. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return in Week 4 for a matchup against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens.
Cleveland Browns defensive back Greg Newsome II (hamstring) won't be sidelined for long, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The 22-year-old hasn't practiced since Tuesday and sat out the preseason opener. Despite that, the Browns don't expect Newsome to miss Week 1 of the regular season. The former first round pick battled multiple injuries last season. Although, he still had success with 37 tackles and nine passes defended through 13 games. Fantasy managers who have the Browns defense rostered shouldn't be worried about Newsome missing significant time from this injury.
The Cleveland Browns officially signed rookie cornerback Greg Newsome II to a four-year deal after selecting him 26th overall in April's draft. Newsome was a three-year standout at Northwestern University, finishing top five in passes defensed among all Big Ten players in 2019 and 2020 while also receiving third-team All-American honors in 2020. Newsome figures to compete with Greedy Williams for starting snaps across from star corner Denzel Ward, and reviews about his performance in offseason workouts were strong. Expect Newsome to contribute significantly in 2021 even if he doesn't earn a starting outside corner job by week one.
