Browns injury updates: Harold Fannin Jr.’s groin issue adds concerning new wrinkle

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was added to Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a groin injury. Fannin was not listed on Wednesday, and the issue is concerning after a previous groin injury shortened his 2025 rookie campaign. With rookie Carsen Ryan waived on Thursday, veteran Blake Whiteheart remains the only other tight end currently on the active roster.

Elsewhere on the roster, quarterback Deshaun Watson logged his second straight missed practice as he remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. Shedeur Sanders is expected to start Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Rookie defensive back Emmanuel McNeil-Warren also appeared on the report with a hip issue, while defensive tackle Maliek Collins sat out again with an elbow injury.
