Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Trent Brown was carted off the field and quickly ruled out with a right knee injury in Monday’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Brown has spent two stints in New England, including the 2018 season, when he served as the top blindside protector for legendary quarterback Tom Brady.
It was a somber moment on the field in Cincinnati as Brown remained on the ground writhing in pain. The injury occurred when the veteran offensive tackle planted awkwardly on his leg, while being driven back by a defender.
Brown’s teammates surrounded him in support as the cart came out and took him back to the locker room.

Brown has been a major success story as a seventh-round draft pick. He won a Super Bowl with the Patriots and earned a Pro Bowl nod with the Oakland Raiders in 2019.
The Bengals now hold their breath in anticipation of the eventual injury diagnosis.
