Carson Schwesinger returns to Browns practice ahead of season opener

Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger returned to full team practice on Saturday after missing 16 sessions and three preseason games with an undisclosed injury. The second-year defender, who led NFL rookies with 146 tackles last season, rejoined the roster as the team prepares for its September 13 regular season opener against Jacksonville. Following his return, Schwesinger described the team's revamped offensive system under coordinator Todd Monken as a significant challenge for the defense. He noted that improvements in the wide receiver corps and offensive line depth have created a more versatile attack. The Browns defense, now coordinated by Mike Rutenberg, is integrating new personnel including Jared Verse, Quincy Williams, and Derek Barnett while adjusting to the departure of Myles Garrett. Schwesinger remains focused on defensive ball retrieval as the team moves into the final phase of preparations for the upcoming campaign.
