Per the Browns website, head coach Kevin Stefanski provided an update on the team’s injuries after Sunday’s game. The team has prepared their roster to be prepared for injuries at linebacker this season:
Stefanski said DT Maurice Hurst II, TE David Njoku and LB Tony Fields II each are dealing with an ankle injury. LB Mohamoud Diabate sustained a hip injury. Stefanski said that all four players are considered week to week as they work their way back from injury.
Throughout training camp, the Browns dealt with injuries to their linebacker room, which created opportunities to practice more players and handle any shuffling around at linebacker. They’ve continued to prepare multiple players to be ready to step in at linebacker if needed.

Hudson has appeared in 59 games and started in 12. He’s recorded 108 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and one sack in his five-year NFL career. Hudson has experience as a special teams contributor. Since the Browns signed him to their 53-man roster, one would assume he’ll have at least a role on special teams this season.
