Injuries Spoil Browns Preseason Opener Against Packers

That seemed to spark a bit of an epidemic for the of injuries for the Browns. Late in the first quarter young wideout David Bell exited the game after making a catch and tweaking his quad.

It wasn't too long before the Wypler injury occurred just three minuted into the second quarter. Wypler appeared to get his right ankle bent in an uncomfortable direction and stayed down on the field after the play. Upon attending to the Ohio State product, the Browns medical staff wound up stabilizing the leg and taking him off the field on the medical cart.

The injury is a tough blow to an already thing position group. Earlier in camp the team released veteran center Brian Allen after he wound up on the IR with an injury of his own. In Wypler's absence, North Dakota State product Zack Johnson took over at center and played the rest of the game. starter Ethan Pocic started the game for Cleveland but was done after two series.

Later on, safety Vincent Gray exited with a groin injury. Rookie linebacker Nathanial Watson suffered a quad injury in the third quarter and was slow to get up after making a tackle. The sixth-round pick ultimately walked off the field under his own power.
