Ojomo was injured while trying to chase down Browns’ quarterback Kellen Mond.
A seventh-round draft pick out of Texas, Ojomo is one of the players fighting for a roster spot.
Moro Ojomo is now being carted off the field after being placed on a stretcher but was able to give a wave as he was carted off the field. Brutal injury game for the Eagles.
