Thought the Browns had angst before? After Deshaun Watson injury and Sunday’s loss, there’s even more uncertainty: Ashley BastockIn that game, the kicker went all out to try and chase down Texans RB Dameon Pierce on a 98-kick return TD. Hopkins injured his hamstring and was unable to play in Cleveland’s final two regular-season games or their wild card loss to the Texans.
The Bengals TD was just the first of several unfortunately notable Hopkins moments throughout the afternoon. The Browns specialists have been in flux in recent weeks, with longtime long snapper Charley Hughlett suffering a rib injury and going to injured reserve. This was his second missed extra-point attempt of the year as well, after pulling one left in Cleveland’s road loss to the Raiders in Week 4.
