Past head injury Okoronkwo was cleared from concussion protocol Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Okoronkwo sustained a head injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win, but it appears he's already moved past the issue. The 29-year-old has yet to record a stat while playing 58 total snaps (37 defensive and 21 on special teams) across two games. Despite a slow start, Okoronkwo is expected to remain one of the Browns' top rotational edge rushers as the team takes on the Giants in Week 3.

Impact Okoronkwo sustained a head injury on the Browns' final defensive series in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, and he finished the game without recording a tackle. His practice participation leading up to Week 3 against the Giants will be worth monitoring. If Okoronkwo is unable to suit up for the Browns' next game, then Alex Wright would serve as the primary backup defensive end behind starters Myles Garrett and Za'Darius Smith.

Browns' Ogbo Okoronkwo Striving For Double-Digit Sacks In 2024 Ogbo Okoronkwo is looking to improve his sack production in his second season with the Cleveland Browns.

MAY 19 • SI.COM

Delivers in first year Okoronkwo recorded 31 tackles, 4.5 sacks, one pass defensed and a fumble recovery over 14 regular-season games for the Browns in 2023.

Impact Okoronkwo parlayed a strong 2022 season with the Texans into a three-year deal in Cleveland, and the 28-year-old edge rusher gave maximum effort when not sidelined by injury. He showed that effort in returning from a December pectoral injury that initially appeared to be season ending. Okoronkwo maintained a spot in the rotation at defensive end along with Myles Garrett and Za'Darius Smith. It looks like the Browns hit in year one of the deal, and Okoronkwo should remain as part of the edge rotation in 2024.

Returning Week 18 Okoronkwo (pectoral) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Kelsey Russo of the Browns official site reports.

Impact Okoronkwo had missed Cleveland's last three games with this pectoral injury, but it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Expect the 28-year-old to return to his usual duties as a rotational defensive end in Week 18.
