BROWNS ADD HAROLD FANNIN JR. TO INJURY REPORT

The Cleveland Browns added tight end Harold Fannin Jr. to Thursday’s injury report with a groin injury as they prepared to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The injury report listed Fannin as a limited participant in practice. Daniel Oyefusi said a previous groin injury had ended Fannin’s 2025 rookie season early. “A groin injury prematurely ended his rookie season and kept him sidelined for much of the offseason workout program,” Oyefusi said.

Deshaun Watson missed practice for a second consecutive day while remaining in concussion protocol. Shedeur Sanders took first-team repetitions for a second straight day as the Browns prepared for New Orleans. The injury report also listed defensive tackle Maliek Collins as absent from practice with an elbow injury. Safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren joined the report with a hip injury and took part on a limited basis.

The Browns’ Thursday report recorded full participation for Jared Verse, Elgton Jenkins and Myles Harden after all three had trained on a limited basis on Wednesday. Their listed injuries affected Verse’s knee, Jenkins’s knee and Harden’s hamstring. Austin Barber, who had a calf injury, and Quincy Williams, who had a hamstring injury, returned to limited participation after missing Wednesday’s practice. Denzel Boston remained limited with a calf injury, while Carson Schwesinger remained limited with wrist and ankle injuries.
