WR/KR Jakeem Grant carted off the field with potentially serious injury
The hits keep coming for the Cleveland Browns. After concerns at the wide receiver position coming into training camp, David Bell and Anthony Schwartz missed some time due to injuries before recently returning. Undrafted WR Isaiah Weston was lost for the year.
Even veteran WR Amari Cooper went down with a minor ankle issue during a practice.
Tuesday may have come with the worst injury news at the position as well as one impacting special teams. WR/KR/PR Jakeem Grant has been a very good return player for years in the NFL. Signed this offseason, Grant was also expected to be a part of the team’s revamped receiver group.
In practice, Grant went down with what is said to be a major injury. Here we see him attempt to get to the cart and struggle to do so even with help:

While we await news of the extent of Grant’s injury, it is clear that losing him for an extended amount of time would be a huge blow. While his role on offense may be replaceable, the Browns have struggled to find a quality returner for years.
We will keep you updated on Grant’s status.
