Browns lose LB Anthony Walker Jr. and CB Mike Ford vs. 49ers

Cleveland Browns linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. has been ruled out with a concussion. Walker got injured at the end of the third quarter against the San Fransisco 49ers.  Walker was having an excellent game against the 49ers, as his defense held them to 10 points in the first three quarters. Walker had one tackle in the game. Walker’s leadership will be missed as the Browns and 49ers continue their defensive battle.

Linebackers Sione Takitaki and Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah will see a larger workload to replace the captain of the defense. Hopefully, Walker will be able to heal quickly and clear the concussion protocol by next week.

Cornerback Mike Ford is being evaluated for a concussion. The special teams ace was also injured during the third quarter. It appears that the Browns are using Greg Newsome II as Ford’s replacement on special teams. Ford plays on every special teams unit. The Browns are suffering a spat of bad luck as they battle against the 49ers. Hopefully, both Mike Ford and Anthony Walker Jr. heal up quickly.
