Running back Tre Harbison concussed in first padded practice

The first day of padded practice led to a player going down. In an update, Harbison has a concussion but otherwise is fine.

The Cleveland Browns have had a few injury concerns throughout training camp so far. A majority of those have been of the minor variety allowing the team to play it safe with the players involved. Anthony Walker is the biggest name with the biggest concerning injury but he will avoid surgery but miss more than a week.

All of those injuries came before the team put the pads on and started hitting. In the Browns first padded practice, running back Tre Harbison was carted off the field after a hard hit.

Harbison is in competition with a variety of backs to make the team, or practice squad, behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Harbison is an undrafted rookie who played his final college year at Charlotte after three at Northern Illinois.

A day later, head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that the rookie back suffered a concussion but is doing well otherwise:

 

With padded practices and hitting just starting and bound to ramp up, Cleveland hopes to minimize major injuries in preparation for a season full of Super Bowl hopes. Harbison’s hopes of making even the practice squad roster could take a hit depending on how long he is out.
