Browns safety Damarious Randall has been ejected from the team’s Thursday Night Football game for a helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless receiver.
Randall ran into Steelers wideout Diontae Johnson after the ball had already missed the target. No. 23 for the Browns clearly initiated contact with his helmet, hitting the side of Johnson’s helmet and injuring the rookie WR. Randall was penalized 15 yards for the personal foul and then ejected from the game after a review while the trainers tended to Johnson.
The wideout left the sideline on a cart and was ruled out for the rest of the night.
This is exactly the type of play the NFL is trying to eliminate from the game.
