Browns rookie Concepcion ruled out after Jets hit

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 19:19 · Archive

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion was ruled out with a head injury during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. The collision occurred as Concepcion appeared to make a catch on a deep pass from Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, with the impact causing the ball to drop out of his hands.

Concepcion fell face down on the turf and appeared unconscious as the Browns' training staff attended to him on the field. After several minutes, he was turned over, sat up and walked under his own power to the locker room. The Browns ruled him out for the remainder of the game shortly after.

Fitzpatrick was penalised for the hit on a defenceless receiver. The play marked the second penalty against the veteran safety on the drive, following an earlier face-mask infraction. Concepcion, a first-round draft pick from Texas A&M selected 24th overall in April, had completed a 5-yard catch before the injury.
