It has not been a good night for the Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) against the Cleveland Browns (1-1), as injuries have piled up for the home team. Tyrie Cleveland, who went down in the third quarter, and now defensive tackle Moro Ojomo has been carted off the field with a neck injury in the fourth quarter with a little over 10 minutes remaining.
Injury Update: DT Moro Ojomo is out with a neck injury. He has movement in all of his extremities.

Ojomo was injured while trying to chase down Browns’ quarterback Kellen Mond.
A seventh-round draft pick out of Texas, Ojomo is one of the players fighting for a roster spot.
Moro Ojomo is now being carted off the field after being placed on a stretcher but was able to give a wave as he was carted off the field. Brutal injury game for the Eagles.
