Cleveland Browns Coach Speaks on Former Alabama Star’s Injury Woes
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed concerns about the ongoing injury issues of former Alabama star Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, whose health has been a significant topic this season. Owusu-Koramoah, a standout linebacker who was drafted by the Browns in 2021, has been dealing with a series of injuries, including a nagging ankle issue and a recent knee problem that has kept him out of multiple games.
Stefanski spoke candidly about the situation during his press conference on November 26, 2024, acknowledging that Owusu-Koramoah’s injury troubles have been a challenge for both the player and the team. “Jeremiah has been working incredibly hard to get back on the field,” Stefanski said. “He’s a passionate player, and we’re doing everything we can to get him fully healthy. It’s been a tough road, but we’re optimistic about his recovery.”
Owusu-Koramoah, known for his versatility and athleticism during his college career at Alabama, has been a key part of the Browns’ defense since arriving in Cleveland. However, his ability to impact the game has been limited by the injuries, which have kept him sidelined at crucial moments this season.
Stefanski emphasized that the Browns’ medical staff is closely monitoring Owusu-Koramoah’s progress, and they’re taking a cautious approach to ensure that he is fully healed before making a return to the field. While the team has not provided a definitive timeline for his return, Stefanski suggested that Owusu-Koramoah’s health is a top priority moving forward.
With the Browns currently in playoff contention, Owusu-Koramoah’s potential return could provide a significant boost to the defense as they look to make a late-season push.
