Another DE exits with an injury

Cleveland Browns defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo exited the game against the Washington Commanders. Okoronkwo was seen walking to the locker rooms with trainers during the two-minute warning. Okoronkwo is being evaluated for a concussion.

The Browns are thin at the defensive end position. Reigning defensive player of the year, Myles Garrett is battling lower leg injuries. They lost third-year defensive end Alex Wright for the season earlier this week.  Okoronkwo is the Browns’ designated pass rusher, but he’s getting more and more playing time after the rash of injuries.

Okoronkwo is a very good pass rusher, but he struggles to sustain his gap in the run game. The Browns need the veteran defensive end healthy as they near the end of their bench. The Browns’ defense has been pitiful this season due to their inability to win in the trenches.  The Browns must create a better pass rush for their defense to improve. They need Okoronkwo for that.
