AI outlookPresumptive CLE lead back entering year 2; fully cleared from Dec 2025 fractured fibula/dislocated ankle with no camp limitations reported Aug 2026. Volume-driven low-end/mid RB2 given rebuilt O-line and open QB competition.
Pros / cons +
Pros
- Regained RB1 role on CLE depth chart over Dylan Sampson
- Reported fully healthy / no limitations for training camp (multiple Aug 2026 sources)
- Strong early-season volume in 2025 (17.7 att/gm, 2.3 tgt/gm Wk3-15) when healthy
- 2nd-round draft capital signals organizational investment at the position
Cons
- O-line in flux: Bitonio retired, new starters still building cohesion
- Open, unresolved Week 1 QB competition (Watson vs Sanders)
- Recent severe injury (fractured fibula, dislocated ankle, Dec 2025) still under 12 months out
- Below-average per-carry efficiency last year (3.6 YPC)
- Dylan Sampson likely to siphon passing-down/receiving-down snaps
