CLEVELAND — Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has been ruled out with a neck injury that required him to be immobilized in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Owusu-Koramoah suffered the injury after a collision with running back Derrick Henry. He was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation but has movement in all extremities.
Henry’s arm made contact with Owusu-Koramoah’s neck while Owusu-Koramoah attempted to make a tackle. He was driven back and remained on the ground after the play.
After medical trainers tended to Owusu-Koramoah for several minutes, he was placed on a backboard and carted off the field. Owusu-Koramoah raised his right fist as he left the field.
A fourth-year player out of Notre Dame, Owusu-Koramoah was named to his first Pro Bowl last season. He entered Week 8 leading the Browns with 54 tackles.
Browns cornerback Denzel Ward has also been ruled out. He is in the concussion protocol but has not yet been diagnosed with a concussion.
Ward has suffered five documented concussions since entering the NFL, the last coming in August.
