JUAN THORNHILL NEWS

Suits up for 11 games in 2024 Thornhill racked up 49 tackles (31 solo) and three passes defensed across 11 regular-season appearances with the Browns in 2024.

Impact Thornhill has been limited to 11 regular-season games in both of his first seasons with the Browns, despite having logged 16 or more appearances in all four of his years with the Chiefs from 2019-22. He remains under contract with Cleveland for one more year, but at this point even if healthy, it's not a guarantee that the experienced safety will regain the playmaking ability that previously allowed him to rank as a fringe fantasy asset in IDP formats.

Returning for Week 14 Thornhill (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact A calf issue sidelined Thornhill for last Monday's loss against Denver, but the veteran safety will be able to return to action having missed just one contest. As a result, Ronnie Hickman could see less defensive snaps than he did last week. In the Browns' win over Pittsburgh in Week 12, Thornhill tallied seven tackles -- his second-highest total this season.

Questionable for Week 14 Thornhill (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thornhill was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, and he has given himself a chance to return from a one-game absence due to a calf injury. Rodney McLeod and Ronnie Hickman both saw increased snap counts on defense in Week 13 against the Broncos, and the duo would continue to see additional work Sunday if Thornhill were to be sidelined.

Returns to practice Thursday Thornhill (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill was sidelined for Week 13 against the Broncos due to a calf injury, and he was estimated as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report. Thornhill's return to practice Thursday indicates he is progressing through his recovery, and if he's able to practice Friday, he'll give himself a chance to play against the Steelers on Sunday.

Estimated as DNP Thornhill (calf) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice estimate, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill was unable to practice all week leading up to this past Monday's game against the Broncos, which he is inactive for. The 2019 second-round pick will have two more chances this week to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's AFC North showdown against the Steelers. Thornhill has been sidelined for six of the Browns' 12 regular-season games due to a calf injury.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 13 Thornhill (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Broncos, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Thornhill may have aggravated his calf injury during the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers, which prevented him from practicing all week. His next opportunity to play will be Week 14 against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Dec. 8. In Thornhill's absence, Rodney McLeod and Ronnie Hickman are the top candidates to start at free safety alongside strong safety Grant Delpit.

Sits out practice again Friday Thornhill (calf) was a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill has opened the week with a pair of DNPs due to a calf injury he suffered Monday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Thornhill is trending in the right direction for Monday Week 13 game, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site, but the veteran safety may need to practice in some capacity Saturday in order to be able to suit up against Denver. If he can't suit up, Ronnie Hickman may move into a starting role.

Nursing calf injury Thornhill (calf) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thornhill missed five regular-season games earlier in the year due to a calf injury, and it appears he may have aggravated the issue during the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers. Thornhill will have two opportunities this week to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Monday's game against Denver. In his five regular-season games since returning from injured reserve in Week 7, Thornhill has logged 23 tackles (12 solo) and one pass defense.

Solid in divisional win Thornhill recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Thursday's 24-19 win versus the Steelers.

Impact He trailed in defensive snaps (32) behind veteran Rodney McLeod (37) for the second straight game in Week 12, but he posted his highest tackle total since Week 1 anyway. It remains to be seen whether that will translate to more involvement in Week 13 at Denver.

Activated off IR Thornhill (calf) has been activated off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Thornhill remains questionable for the contest. His status is unlikely to be confirmed until roughly 90 minutes before kickoff. The free safety has been on IR since suffering a calf injury in Week 1. He recorded nine tackles (eight solo) in that loss to the Cowboys.

Designated to return Thornhill (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Thornhill missed Cleveland's last five games after sustaining a calf injury late in the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, but it now appears he's nearing a return to the field. The 28-year-old's participation Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can return for the Browns' Week 7 matchup against the Bengals. However, Cleveland must still activate Thornhill to its active roster in order for him to suit up Sunday.

Impact Thornhill suffered the injury late in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, who relays that head coach Kevin Stefanski stated the Virginia product does have the potential to return this season. It's a tough blow to the Browns who will now be without their starting free safety for at least the next four weeks and are dealing with multiple injuries to their defense. Ronnie Hickman is expected to step up now in Thonrhill's stead.
