The Cleveland Browns could be getting reinforcements on defense ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. This team has lost a few key players due to injury, but it sounds like one player has a chance to get back on the field this weekend. The organization is hopeful to get defensive tackle Mason Graham back for this weekend’s game against the Titans.
He has missed each of the last two games, but according to Daryl Ruiter, it sounds like if Graham is feeling good enough to play, then he’ll be out there.
“If [Mason Graham’s] healthy and he’s ready to go, absolutely. You put your best players on the field. Quinshon and Dylan Sampson, too. They might get Dylan Sampson back this week. We’ll see. Maybe the run game will be at full strength,” Ruiter said.

The Browns have been without Graham since he suffered a left MCL sprain and an ankle sprain during the first quarter of the Week 4 Thursday Night victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has missed each of the last two games while recovering, but Graham is on track to suit up against the Titans in Week 7.
Head coach Todd Monken said that Graham is back at practice and has a strong chance to play against the Titans. His return to the field will be a welcome sight, given how well Graham was playing before the injury. In four games, Graham has recorded 15 tackles, six tackles for loss, and four sacks.
The Browns’ defense has been playing above expectations early in the season, so having Graham back in the picture should only help them. This organization has high hopes for Graham after taking him in the first round out of Michigan during the 2025 NFL Draft.
Graham put together a decent rookie campaign, but he has been impressive during the first few weeks of this season. It’s a shame that Graham went down because he was playing a huge role on defense. The hope is that this injury won’t slow down his momentum, and he will keep causing havoc once he returns.
Fans should stay tuned to see if Graham can get back on the field this weekend.
