Overview
- Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday that orthopedic surgeon Dr. Norman Waldrop cleared Ethan Pocic to participate in training camp and called him 'full go'.
- Pocic remains an unsigned free agent so the medical update immediately makes him available for teams to bring into camp for on-field evaluation.
- The veteran tore his Achilles on Dec. 7, 2025 in Cleveland's game versus Tennessee and was placed on injured reserve, ending his 2025 season.
- Pro Football Focus graded Pocic in the low-60s last season after he allowed two sacks and 14 pressures in 518 pass-blocking snaps, which frames him as a depth or competition option rather than a clear long-term starter.
- With the Browns having signed Elgton Jenkins and left Pocic to free agency, outlets identify teams such as the Ravens, Giants, Jets, and Commanders as logical fits who should view him as low-cost insurance that can be tested in camp.
