General Manager Andrew Berry said Monday that Hall (knee) will have a "months-long" recovery timeline, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hall was knocked out of Saturday's game at Baltimore early by a knee injury, and it's now clear that the issue is no minor ding. With that said, Berry also said Monday that he expects Hall to be ready for the 2025 season, so there's at least hope he won't have to miss any meaningful game action before returning.

Browns' Mike Hall: Will get MRI on knee Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said after Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens that Hall will get an MRI on his right knee Sunday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Hall injured his right knee early in the third quarter of Saturday's game, which was serious enough for an air cast to be placed on his right leg and for him to be carted off the field. The MRI will determine the severity of the injury and whether his recovery timeline will linger into the 2025 season. The rookie second-round pick out of Ohio State will finish his first NFL regular season with 12 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, across seven games.

Emerson injured his ankle in the third quarter, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return for the fourth.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Able to suit up Week 18
Rotowire
Okoronkwo (knee) is not among the Browns' inactives for Saturday's tilt against Baltimore.
Okoronkwo missed last Sunday's game against Miami due to a knee injury, but he'll be able to return to the field Saturday. The veteran defensive lineman has seen his role fluctuate throughout the campaign but typically plays around half of the Browns' defensive snaps. Sam Kamara might see a bit less defensive work Saturday due to Okoronkwo being back in action.

Browns' Cameron Mitchell: Set to play against Ravens
Rotowire
Mitchell (knee) is active for Saturday's Week 18 battle against Baltimore.
Mitchell dealt with a knee issue at the end of the practice week and was deemed questionable heading into the weekend. However, the injury won't prevent him from suiting up Saturday. Mitchell has held an increased role since Week 15 due to Greg Newsome (hamstring) landing on IR, and Mitchell should log another start in the slot in Cleveland's season finale.

Browns' Devin Bush: Won't play in season finale
Rotowire
Bush (thigh) is inactive for Saturday's Week 18 matchup versus the Ravens.
It was an ominous sign when Bush was a late addition to the Browns' injury report Saturday morning, and the veteran linebacker will ultimately be forced to miss his first game of the campaign. Bush had ben hovering around a 50 percent defensive snap-share count since Week 12 while also contributing on special teams. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with 76 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass defenses over 16 contests. Bush will be a free agent at the conclusion of the campaign.

Browns' Devin Bush: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Bush (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's Week 18 battle against Baltimore, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
It's unclear when Bush picked up the injury -- though he began the practice week labeled with an elbow issue, he was able to log a full practice each day and didn't have an injury designation until early Saturday. It's also unclear how serious the thigh issue is or what the likelihood is of Bush missing Saturday's regular-season finale. If he can't play against the Ravens, Winston Reid could be in line for more defensive snaps.

Browns' Dalvin Tomlinson: Missing Week 18
Rotowire
Tomlinson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Ravens.
Tomlinson was originally considered questionable for the Week 18 divisional matchup after sustaining a knee injury at Wednesday's practice. However, he's since been downgraded to out, meaning his 2024 campaign is over. Tomlinson appeared in 16 games for the Browns this season, recording 26 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks. Jowon Briggs is likely the next man up at defensive tackle for Cleveland on Saturday.

Browns' Cameron Mitchell: Questionable for Week 18
Rotowire
Mitchell (knee) is questionable to play in Saturday's contest against the Ravens.
Mitchell popped up on the injury report Thursday with a knee injury, which forced him to be a limited participant at the team's final practice of the week. The cornerback's status for Week 18 is now up in the air, and if he can't go, Rodney McLeod would stand to see an increase in workload in Mitchell's absence.

Rotowire
Tomlinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Tomlinson suffered a knee injury during Wednesday's practice, though head coach Kevin Stefanski said that the veteran defensive tackle escaped a major injury. Tomlinson didn't practice Thursday, and his status for Saturday's regular-season finale is up in the air. Jowon Briggs would likely start at defensive tackle alongside Mike Hall if Tomlinson is not cleared to play.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Good to go against Baltimore
Rotowire
Garrett (thigh) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Garrett was a DNP in the first two sessions of the week due to a thigh issue, but his limited participation in Thursday's practice was enough for him to shed an injury tag heading into Saturday's regular-season finale. The All-Pro defensive end is coming off a two-sack performance against the Dolphins this past Sunday, which brought him up to 14.0 sacks on the season.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Still not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Garrett (thigh) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Rotowire
Hicks (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Pops up as DNP due to thigh injury
Rotowire
Garrett didn't practice Tuesday due to a thigh issue, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
It's not clear when Garrett suffered the injury, as he logged his usual hefty workload on defense Sunday against Miami and picked up 2.0 sacks. The extent to which the star pass rusher is able to practice Wednesday and Thursday should shed clarity on whether he'll be able to play Saturday versus Baltimore. If Garrett can't suit up against the Ravens, it would be a huge blow to the Browns' defense, as the veteran defensive end is tied for the NFL lead with 14.0 sacks on the season.
