The Cleveland Browns are still trying to figure out their quarterback room after Deshaun Watson’s 2024 campaign was ended early by an Achilles rupture. The team added four quarterbacks to the position room this offseason to try to find a replacement for Watson.
Now, it appears the Browns will most likely have to sort out another position room after losing another one of its most important pieces to the same injury.
“Browns CB Martin Emerson Jr. suffered what’s an Achilles injury in today’s practice. He’ll undergo imaging to determine the full extent of the injury but the expectation is it’s a significant tear,” reported NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo on Tuesday.
Fans reacted to the brutal news on social media.
“If you’re a Cleveland Browns fan, I feel like you deserve financial compensation… or a hug… something,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“I just cringe when I see a football player (injured) this time of year. I’m actually surprised when it’s good or not injury related. I just pray my team avoids as many of these as possible,” another fan added.
“Is it just me or there’s been a ton of serious injuries 4 days into camps?” someone else wanted to know.
Hopefully, Emerson can make a setback-free recovery, unlike Watson.
