CLEVELAND BROWNS NEWS

Misses practice Wednesday Newsome (hamstring) was a nonparticipant at the Browns' practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Newsome popped up on the injury report to open the week with a hamstring injury and he was unable to be a part of Cleveland's first practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to the practice field, and his status for Week 7 is worth monitoring. If Newsome can't go, Cameron Mitchell could step into a starting role in the Browns' secondary versus Indianapolis.

He described himself as "day-to-day" and said he's dealing with a "microtear" in his rotator cuff, adding that he's still having difficulty throwing a football with strength. PJ Walker will be in line for another start if Watson can't play against the Colts this Sunday.

Not practicing Wednesday Hunt won't practice Wednesday due to a thigh injury, Scott Petrak of the Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Hunt set a season high with 12 carries in last week's win over the 49ers and also found the end zone, but he opens up Week 7 prep with an absence at practice. The veteran running back will have two more opportunities to return to practice this week, and if Hunt is ultimately able to play Sunday against the Colts, he'll likely fill a change-of-pace role behind Jerome Ford in the Browns backfield.

Week 7 status uncertain Watson (shoulder) said Wednesday that the injury that has kept him sidelined for the Browns' last two games is a rotator cuff strain, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Prior reports had characterized the injury as a rotator cuff contusion, but Watson's own comments suggests he's dealing with a partial tear in his throwing shoulder. According to Trotter, Watson said that it's still "up in the air" if he'll be available Sunday against the Colts. The Browns will release their first Week 7 injury report later Wednesday, when it will be known whether Watson was able to practice in any capacity. If Watson is forced to miss a third straight game this Sunday, PJ Walker would likely be elevated from the practice squad once again to make his second start in a row.

Moves back to practice squad Walker reverted to the Browns' practice quad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Walker got the start for injured quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) on Sunday against the 49ers, completing 18 of 34 passes for 192 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding a rushing yard on three carries. In the course of 12 possessions, he led the Browns to one TD and four successful field goals from kicker Dustin Hopkins in an eventual 19-17 upset win. While he'll move back to the practice squad, Walker seemingly would be the top candidate to start again over rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson on Sunday at Indianapolis if Watson needs more time to recover.

Makes plays in win Owusu-Koramoah recorded five tackles, including a sack and two additional tackles for loss, one additional quarterback hit and one pass defensed in Sunday's 19-17 win over the 49er...

Impact Owusu-Koramoah registered his first sack of the season in the third quarter, which led to a Cleveland possession that ended in a field goal. Of the many big plays he made, the most impactful may have been after the Browns had turned the ball over, giving San Francisco a short field from Cleveland's 26-yard line. The 49ers, who had just taken a 7-0 lead, called for a short pass to Christian McCaffrey, which was snuffed out by Owusu-Koramoah. He dropped the running back for an eight-yard loss. San Francisco eventually missed a field-goal attempt, and the Browns avoided falling behind by two scores.
