Schwesinger continues to be a standout IDP performer in fantasy circles, as he's now posted double-digit stops in six straight games.

Schwesinger (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Similar to the injury report status from Week 14, Schwesinger was again limited both Wednesday and Thursday, but he should not be impacted for Week 15 as he has no injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Bears. The standout rookie has 119 tackles (55 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including two interceptions, in 13 games this season.

Schwesinger notched 13 tackles (six solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a loss to Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger continued his standout rookie campaign, leading Cleveland in tackles and setting a new single-game career-high mark. The talented linebacker has now recorded double-digit stops in five consecutive contests as he's quickly established himself as a premier IDP option. With 119 stops on the season, Schwesinger has already put his name in the Browns' record books with the highest mark by a rookie, though it would take a huge finish to the campaign for him to reach the NFL rookie record of 174 tackles set by Patrick Willis in 2007.

Schwesinger (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger was able to upgrade to full participation in practice Friday, just in time to dodge an injury designation for Sunday's contest. The linebacker has been consistently playing through the ankle injury he likely sustained against the Raiders in Week 12, and this week seems to be no different. The rookie second-rounder is the green dot of the defense, so the Browns maintaining a consistent signal caller for Week 14 should have a large impact on that side of the ball.

Schwesinger (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger was limited for a second consecutive practice, presumably with the same ankle injury that the rookie linebacker dealt with last week. He's been limited during practices with ankle or shoulder injuries the last month, but Schwesinger logged double-digit tackles in four straight contests. That four-game stretch influential in him being named the Defensive Rookie of the Month for November, per Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site.

Schwesinger (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger produced double-digit tackles for the fourth straight week against the 49ers on Sunday, but he also suffered an ankle injury during the loss. It's promising that he was able to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, and the rookie linebacker will have two more days this week to return to full participation. In the event Schwesinger isn't able to suit up Sunday versus Tennessee, Jerome Baker could step into a more prominent role.

Schwesinger recorded a team-high 10 tackles in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers in Week 13.
EDGE Analysis
Schwesinger dealt with an ankle injury during the week of preparation leading up to Week 13, but as was the case whenever he's popped up an injury report, the rookie linebacker was ready to go. He's logged four consecutive games with double-digit stops and leads the team with 106 tackles through 12 games.
