Cleveland Browns starting cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. exited the game against the Las Vegas Raiders in the waning minutes of an embarrassing loss.
Emerson was slow to get up and walked to the medical tent with a gaggle of trainers to the medical tent. Emerson was deemed to be in the concussion protocol by head coach Kevin Stefanski after the game.
Emerson had a very rough game against the Raiders. Emerson gave massive cushions to Raiders’ receivers and they gladly ate up the free yards. Emerson was torched multiple times by Raiders’ receiver Tre Tucker.
The Browns juggled their cornerbacks to replace Emerson. Slot cornerback Greg Newsome II kicked outside. Backup cornerback Cameron Mitchell replaced Newsome in the slot. Mitchell has played well in his limited time as Brown. He plays with a lot of physicality and he fits the demeanor of the defense.
The Browns have suffered a rash of injuries against the Raiders. The Browns lost starting center Ethan Pocic in the first quarter. Linebacker Jordan Hicks left the game with an injury but eventually came back in.
