Cleveland Browns starting linebacker Jordan Hicks exited the game against the Raiders with an elbow injury. Hicks was injured while attempting a tackle during the first quarter. Hicks was slow to get up and immediately went to the medical tent for examination. Hicks went to the locker room shortly after. He is questionable to return.
Browns backup linebackers Devin Bush and Winston Reid have replaced Hicks in the game. Bush is a longtime veteran who will help shoulder the load for the Browns’ defense. Reid is an undrafted free agent and a special teams ace.
The Cleveland Browns were bitten by the injury bug to start the season. The Browns’ offensive line is extremely battered. They lost starting center Ethan Pocic earlier in the game. The Browns’ defense hasn’t been unscathed. Star Myles Garrett is battling through a host of lower leg injuries. The Browns must get healthy to stay competitive over the rest of the season.
