  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Returning for Week 14

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

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Questionable for Week 14

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

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Returns to practice Thursday

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

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Estimated as DNP

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

    Thornhill was unable to practice all week leading up to this past Monday's game against the Broncos, for which he was inactive. 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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: 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.

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Sits out practice again Friday

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

    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's 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 Thornhill can't play Monday, Ronnie Hickman may move into a starting role.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Nursing calf injury

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

    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 more 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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Solid in divisional win

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

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Set to return Week 7

    Thornhill (calf) is active Week 7 against the Bengals.

    Thornhill was activated from the IR on Saturday following a week of limited practices, paving the way for a return to action in Week 7. He hasn't seen the field since Week 1 against the Cowboys, when he served as the starting free safety, playing 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps and logging nine combined tackles.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: 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.

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Designated to return

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

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Placed on IR

    Thornhill (calf) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

    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.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Back at practice

    Thornhill (illness) returned to practice with the Browns on Monday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

    Thornhill missed Saturday's 23-10 preseason loss to the Packers while recovering from an illness, though no starters participated in the game. The 28-year-old is expected to operate as Cleveland's starting free safety in 2024 and it's unclear if he'll see any action this preseason.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Dealing with illness

    Thornhill missed Tuesday's practice as a result of an illness, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Thornhill will look to rest up and attempt to be ready to go for Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers. Regardless of whether he's feeling better or not, it's unlikely that the safety will see much action, if any, versus Green Bay.

  • Browns' Juan Thornhill: Browns want more in 2024

    Thornhill posted 54 tackles and one pass defensed over 11 regular-season games in 2023.

    Thornhill had a noticeable drop-off in production from his days with the Chiefs. Both the team and the player expected more after Thornhill signed a three-year deal a year ago, and the Browns need more of his previous version this coming season. There was a nagging calf injury, and he may never have been completely healthy. Thornhill is expected to rejoin Grant Delpit (groin) on the back end of the Browns' defense.
