Browns hurting; other teams lose WRS
It was a rough day for the Cleveland Browns, who lost at home to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Kareem Hunt left on a cart, and quarterback Baker Mayfield’s left arm was in a sling after the loss.
Hunt suffered a calf injury in the fourth quarter of a 37-14 loss. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said the running back did not injure his Achilles tendon and will undergo further imaging on Monday.
Mayfield reinjured his left shoulder but plans to play Thursday night against Denver.
“I mean, it dislocated again and then slipped out again on a non-contact play, so just got to figure out a way to get better,” he said.
Browns star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. briefly left with a shoulder issue.
Other wideouts weren’t fortunate enough to return from injuries.

T.Y. Hilton didn’t finish the game after making his season debut with the Colts, but he said his quad injury isn’t serious.
