What does Sampson’s return mean for Cleveland’s backfield? The Browns announced they’ve lifted running back Dylan Sampson off injured reserve.
Sampson landed on IR after a knee issue on Sept. 15, earned a designation to return on Oct. 14, and enters Sunday’s matchup with the Titans injury‑free.
A 2025 fourth‑rounder, he’s logged 16 games, 175 rushing yards on 65 carries, plus 33 catches for 271 yards and two scores.
The team also shifted guard Teven Jenkins to IR with a back injury, a move that, in my view, thins the line’s protection.
The Browns elevated defensive tackle Sam Kamara from the practice squad.
Safety Grant Delpit has cleared concussion protocol and is listed as active for Sunday; if Sampson stays healthy, Cleveland could see a more dynamic run game in the weeks ahead.
