Mason Graham Out for Weeks with Knee and Ankle Sprains After Steelers Clash

Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mason Graham is expected to miss several weeks due to a left MCL sprain and ankle sprain sustained during the first quarter of Thursday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 23-year-old, selected fifth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, exited the game after getting tangled with a Steelers offensive lineman. Although he walked off the field under his own power, he was ruled out at halftime. An MRI conducted on Friday indicated no long-term structural damage, but the injury will sideline him for a few weeks. This absence significantly impacts the Browns' defensive line, as they already lost Mike Hall to an ankle injury in the same game, leaving them with only two true defensive tackles available for the remainder of the match.
