What a devastating blow for the Cleveland Browns. Hitting his stride at MIKE linebacker in his contract year, linebacker Sione Takitaki has stepped in for the Browns after the injuries to Anthony Walker Jr. and Jacob Phillips. Now, Takitaki himself has been ruled out for the season after tearing his ACL against the Houston Texans.
The Browns have signed former Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland off of the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad in order to fill the void left by Takitaki. Expect Deion Jones to step into that role immediately, however, second-year linebacker Tony Fields II could have more dumped on his plate after a breakout performance against the Texans.
We have placed LB Sione Takitaki on injured reserve and signed LB Reggie Ragland
