Browns LB Sione Takitaki, who had been performing well at a new position, is out for the season with torn ACL
CLEVELAND — After being carted off the field Sunday afternoon in the game against the Houston Texans, Browns linebacker Sione Takitaki will miss the remainder of the season, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday.
Takitaki went down in the fourth quarter, and trainers quickly made their way to the field to assist. The linebacker was helped off the field, and once on the sidelines, was placed on a cart and taken back to the locker room for further evaluation.This season, Takitaki has been a standout, playing at a high level after linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. was lost to injury for the season earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, wide receiver Anthony Schwartz, who left Sunday's game to be evaluated for a head injury and was continuing to be monitored for a concussion, has been placed in concussion protocols.Watch live and local news any time: News 5 Now Afternoon Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.
