Browns: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to sit vs. Chargers after scary injury

As the Cleveland Browns prepare for the Los Angeles Chargers, they will do so without their Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.

After he was carted off and hospitalized overnight due to a neck injury suffered after colliding with Baltimore Ravens’ running back Derrick Henry, the Browns are going to ease Owusu-Koramoah back onto the field. He will not play this week.

The Browns turned to former first round pick Devin Bush last week after Owusu-Koramoah departed. They are hoping to get Jordan Hicks back in the lineup as well, who is dealing with a shoulder and triceps injury. Luckily, second-year and former undrafted free agent linebacker Mohamoud Diabate is playing well in the starting lineup.

If Hicks is available, the Browns likely kick Diabate over to WILL linebacker to replace Owusu-Koramoah for the week. If Hicks is still out, then it will be Bush who will get the start against the Chargers.
