Newsome was a full participant in Friday's practice.
Newsome had been dealing with a shin injury, but it seems as if the third-year corner has moved past that issue. Without Denzel Ward (shoulder) in Week 13, Newsome projects to be Cleveland's top cornerback against a Rams offense that's averaging just under 242 passing yards per game.

Newsome missed Week 9 against the Cardinals with the injury, but he returned for the team's Week 10 win over the Ravens despite logging limited practices throughout the week.

Rotowire
Newsome (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Newsome was able to return to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, but he couldn't avoid an injury designation going into the weekend. If he sits out in Week 10, Mike Ford will probably see an uptick in reps at cornerback.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Not participating at practice
Rotowire
Newsome (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Newsome was forced to sit out of Sunday's game versus Arizona as he recovered from a groin injury, but he still isn't 100 percent to start Cleveland's new week of practice. He'll probably have to sit out again in Week 10 unless he can find a way to get back to practice Thursday or Friday.

Rotowire
Newsome (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
The 2021 first-round pick recorded consecutive DNPs during practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's not a surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. With Newsome missing time, Cameron Mitchell and Martin Emerson will both likely have an increased workload in Cleveland's secondary.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Appears clear for Sunday
Rotowire
Newsome (groin) wasn't listed on the Browns' injury report Wednesday ahead of Week 1 versus the Bengals.
Though he dealt with a groin injury in August, Newsome looks to be healthy enough to play this Sunday. Even if fellow starter Denzel Ward (concussion) is 100 percent, Newsome is going to have his hands full against Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Returning to practice this week
Rotowire
Newsome (groin) is expected to resume practicing this week, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Newsome has missed more than a week of practice due to a groin injury, but he's expected to get back on the field this week. It remains to be seen whether the 2021 first-round pick will be able to be cleared in time for Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles, but if not, he'll have one more exhibition contest, Aug. 26 versus the Chiefs, before the regular season kicks off. The Browns are counting on Newsome to start across from Denzel Ward.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Newsome suffered a concussion in Week 10 and has been sidelined since, so his return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, is encouraging. The second-year cornerback will have two more opportunities to log a full session before Cleveland needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Newsome sustained a concussion during practice ahead of Cleveland's loss to Buffalo in Week 11, and he now appears to be in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game with that injury. If the sophomore first-rounder can't go in Week 12, Greedy Williams would likely be in line for fill-in reps on the boundaries.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Buffalo, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
Newsome was officially diagnosed with a concussion after being involved in a collision during practice Friday, per Poisal. As a result, the second-year corner will miss Sunday's contest and look to clear the league's protocols ahead of Cleveland's Week 12 contest versus Tampa Bay. Newsome has recorded 24 tackles, 0.5 sacks and one pass defended over nine starts this season, and his absence will leave the Browns' defense short-handed against Buffalo's prolific passing attack.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Will play Monday
Rotowire
Newsome (oblique) is active Monday against the Bengals.
Newsome's ability to suit up is a boon for the team's secondary, as Denzel Ward is out due to a concussion, and the team was therefore facing the possibility of being down both of its starting cornerbacks.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Questionable for Monday night
Rotowire
Newsome (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game versus Cincinnati, Anthony Poisal of the team's official site reports.
Even though he did play all but one snap in Week 7 at Baltimore, it seems Newsome is in some jeopardy of missing his first game action of the 2022 season Monday. The 2021 first-rounder's status will be one to watch ahead of kickoff Monday night, as Denzel Ward (concussion) has already been ruled out.

Browns' Greg Newsome: More confident in Year 2
Rotowire
Newsome made two interceptions during Saturday's session and continued what most observers feel has been a strong showing in camp, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Whether it's from Jackson of The Atheltic or Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site, Newsome is getting rave reviews. The 2021 first-round pick looks more confident as he prepares for a second NFL season. He's on the field with the ones and expected to start at cornerback along with Denzel Ward (foot). In obvious passing situations or against multiple wideout sets, the Browns expect to move Newsome inside to the slot while Greedy Williams replaces him on the outside.

Browns' Greg Newsome: Full participant Friday
Rotowire
Newsome (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Newsome was limited Thursday after clearing the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols, but he took a step in the right direction Friday by returning to the practice field as a full participant. Head coach Kevin Stefanski already stated earlier in the week that Newsome cleared the five-step concussion protocol after suffering the head injury prior to landing on the COVID-19 list, so the rookie cornerback should be good to go for Monday's game in Pittsburgh.

Rotowire
Newsome (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup against Arizona, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Newsome logged three limited practices during the week and is set to return after a two-game absence. He should immediately step back into a top role in the Browns' secondary, likely tasked with slowing down A.J. Green and Rondale Moore.
