Browns Concern: Martin Emerson Jr. Suffers Injury
Cleveland Browns cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. was carted off the field during Tuesday’s practice after suffering an Achilles tendon injury, the team reported.
Emerson will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.
The injury, which was not the result of contact, occurred in the left leg while Emerson was covering wide receiver Diontae Johnson on a “go” route. Emerson tried to support his leg at the end of the play, but fell to the ground in pain. He immediately took off his helmet and threw it in frustration.
Emerson couldn’t support his leg while being helped onto the stretcher.
Selected in the third round (No. 68 overall) of the 2022 NFL draft by the Browns, Emerson was about to enter the final year of his rookie contract. He has participated in 50 games, with 33 starts, recording 202 tackles, four interceptions and 34 passes defended.
