Uchenna Nwosu - Dealing with knee issueNwosu exited Saturday night's preseason win over the Browns with a knee injury and will undergo further testing, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact"Not sure yet," coach Mike Macdonald said. "We'll probably know more in the next couple days." Following a career-best 9.5 sacks in 2022, Nwosu suffered a torn pec in Week 7 last season and missed the remainder of the year, finishing with just 2.0 sacks across six contests. Losing Nwosu for any length of time would be an issue for Seattle's pass rush.

Artie Burns - Exits with foot injuryBurns exited Saturday night's preseason win over the Browns with a foot injury and did not return, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

ImpactBurns was examined on the sideline with a left foot issue before being carted to the locker room. The veteran cornerback has been operating as the Seahawks' nickel corner this summer and started the preseason finale in that spot. A long-term issue would test Seattle's corner depth.

Michael Woods II - Scores twice in finaleWoods caught five of nine targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason finale against Seattle.

ImpactWoods, a sixth-round draft pick in 2022, had just two targets during the preseason prior Saturday's robust activity. Whether there's a roster spot for Woods depends on how many wide receivers the Browns intend to keep and how significant David Bell's quadriceps injury is. If Bell is ready for the regular season opener, that would give Cleveland five likely locks. If they keep a sixth, then it would come down to Woods or Jamari Thrash, a 2024 fifth-round draft pick that came on over the last two weeks.

Aidan Robbins - Paces backs in finaleRobbins gained a team-high 38 yards on eight carries and caught four of five targets for 25 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Seahawks.

ImpactRobbins, a 2024 undrafted free agent, was expected to get a lot of work and led the Browns' backfield with 48 snaps. His longshot path to a roster spot received a boost when Cleveland watched D'Onta Foreman leave the game after injuring his ribs. That adds another injury to the backfield, which includes Nick Chubb (knee, PUP), Nyheim Hines (knee, PUP) and Pierre Strong (ribs). As of Sunday, the three healthy backs on the roster are Robbins, Jerome Ford and Jacob Saylors. It's unlikely the Browns, who entertain postseason goals, would head into the regular season like that.

Kenny McIntosh - Long TD run in preseason winMcIntosh rushed once for a 56-yard touchdown and secured his only target for a nine-yard gain in the Seahawks' 37-33 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday night.

ImpactThe reserve running back recorded his only carry on the Seahawks' third possession, a drive he closed out with an impressive 56-yard scoring scamper off left guard. The touchdown run was the latest example of impressive play from McIntosh, who put together a strong preseason and appears to have the inside track to open the regular season as the No. 3 back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed).

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Pair of catches in preseason finaleSmith-Njigba brought in both his targets for 32 yards in the Seahawks' 37-33 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday night.

ImpactSmith-Njigba was out there with DK Metcalf as the starting wideout duo for Geno Smith on Seattle's opening possession, and the second-year receiver made good use of his opportunity. Smith-Njigba was the target on Smith's first completion, which resulted in a 25-yard gain down the right side of the field. The 2023 first-round pick added a seven-yard grab later in the drive, and he projects to open the regular season as the No. 3 receiver behind Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (leg) but could very well improve that standing as the campaign unfolds.
