Cleveland Browns Face Injury Setback with Dylan Sampson's Knee Injury

The Cleveland Browns are grappling with injury concerns following their disappointing season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where they lost 34-10. The game marked a challenging start to the 2026 season for the team.

During the first quarter, star running back Dylan Sampson sustained a knee injury, which has raised alarms about his availability moving forward. Initially deemed questionable to return, he was later ruled out and seen on crutches post-game. The severity of the injury is still under evaluation by the team, and no official updates have been provided by Coach Todd Monken.

With Sampson likely sidelined for an extended period, the Browns will need to depend on Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders, both of whom had lackluster performances against Jacksonville. The team may also consider promoting Jaleel McLaughlin from the practice squad as they navigate their running back depth issues.
