Cleveland Browns news: Maybe the Browns is still the Browns after all

October 12, 2026

The Cleveland Browns’ recent struggles against the New York Jets have reignited concerns about the team’s consistency, as a potential four-game win streak unraveled in a disappointing loss. Offensive inefficiency, costly special teams errors, and a late defensive miscue allowed the Jets to secure a victory, while injuries piled up with four starters—including key newcomers—now sidelined ahead of a critical Week 6 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

Wide receiver KC Concepcion was ruled out after a hard hit from linebacker Minkah Fitzpatrick, adding to the Browns’ injury woes, while running back Quinshon Judkins and linebacker Carson Schwesinger were seen in walking boots postgame. Head coach Todd Monken’s squad must quickly regroup to avoid extending a losing streak, having already recovered from a Week 1 setback against Jacksonville.

Meanwhile, speculation about quarterback Deshaun Watson’s future with the team remains on hold amid the current challenges.
