New York Giants running back Andre Brown left yesterday’s victory over the Cleveland Browns with what’s been diagnosed as a concussion, reports Mike Mazzeo of ESPNNewYork.com.

Brown exited the contest and was ruled out of the game following further evaluation. He’s been a solid backup for Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw. Rookie David Wilson took his place following his exit.
Linebacker D’Qwell Jackson also left the game due to a concussion and wasn’t able to return. Tight end Martellus Bennett exited with a hyperextended left knee, but he ultimately returned to the field. The team is not yet sure the extent of his injury.
Mazzeo also reports that Giants offensive lineman Chris Snee has been playing through a partially torn labrum in his shoulder. He did exit Sunday’s game early, but says he expects the injury to be “fine.”
