News: 13 hours agoSampson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Spin: With Sampson still on injured reserve, the Browns will need to activate him by Saturday afternoon to have him available for Sunday's game against the Titans. Starting running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) has been cleared to return from a one-game absence, in any case, which potentially limits Sampson to a passing-down role if he plays.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sampson is back for Year 2 in Cleveland after an underwhelming rookie campaign in which he struggled on a small sample of work as a rusher (his 2.69 yards per carry was dead last among 65 qualified backs), but was a contributor in the passing game (23rd among RBs with 33 receptions). Sampson was a young rookie (he doesn't turn 22 until September), so there's still some room for growth, and he's positioned for a larger role behind Quinshon Judkins with Jerome Ford no longer on the roster. Expect Sampson to see some change-of-pace carries and a moderate pass-catching role in 2026. He'll land on the flex radar only if Judkins misses time.
