Carson Schwesinger Active, But Risky

Browns LB Carson Schwesinger is active for today's game against the Browns. It's a bit surprising given that Schwesinger suffered a high ankle sprain last time Cleveland played (before the Week 9 bye), but he's been trying to work toward that all week.

What They're Saying

Zac Jackson of The Athletic: "Carson Schwesinger is running around in early warmups like a guy who's getting ready to play."

None of us can know just how close Schwesinger will be to full strength until this game actually starts. And even the Browns can't really know how much he's at risk of tweaking the ankle and leaving early.

If you want to chance it and chase Schwesinger's upside in your IDP lineup, it's certainly a spot where he could score. But I won't be moving him up our Week 10 LB rankings.

Schwesinger's presence also hurts the upside of No. 2 LB Devin Bush.
