If the night couldn’t get any worse for the Cleveland Browns Za’Darius Smith went down during the third quarter. This comes after running back Nick Chubb was carted off with a serious knee injury. He was later seen on the sideline wearing his helmet as he returned to the game for the Browns. The Browns lost Nick Chubb to a season-ending knee injury earlier in the evening.
Smith was the marquee addition this off-season. He was Myles Garrett’s partner in crime against the Bengals, giving their offensive lineman fits last week. The Browns cannot lose more starters on their team. The NFL is a game of attrition and the Browns are starting to lose quickly. Hopefully, Za’Darius can recover from his injury quickly.
Luckily for the Browns, they also have Ogbo Okoronkwo in their stable of stallions. So if Smith needs to sit out an additional series or two later in this one, he can step in for him.
