Dylan Sampson Faces Extended Absence Due to Knee Injury
Dylan Sampson, a running back for the Cleveland Browns, is set to be sidelined for an extended period following a knee injury sustained during the team's season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Browns faced a challenging start to their 2026 season, losing 34-10 to the Jaguars. Sampson, who was seen on crutches post-game, is anticipated to miss significant time, according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler.
Sampson, a former standout at Tennessee, was drafted in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He had limited involvement in the game, recording no carries or catches, but did contribute with a couple of kickoff returns. His absence will be felt as he has been utilized in various roles throughout his career.
