Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah immobilized, carted off

CLEVELAND -- Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was ruled out with a neck injury that required him to be immobilized in the third quarter of Sunday's 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Owusu-Koramoah suffered the injury after a collision with running back Derrick Henry. He was taken to nearby University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center for further evaluation but has movement in all extremities.

Later Sunday, the Browns said Owusu-Koramoah would remain hospitalized overnight as a precaution.

Henry's arm made contact with Owusu-Koramoah's neck while Owusu-Koramoah attempted to make a tackle. He was driven back and remained on the ground after the play.

After medical trainers tended to Owusu-Koramoah for several minutes, he was placed on a backboard and carted off the field. Owusu-Koramoah raised his right fist as he left the field.

A fourth-year player out of Notre Dame, Owusu-Koramoah was named to his first Pro Bowl last season. He entered Week 8 leading the Browns with 54 tackles.

Browns cornerback Denzel Ward also was ruled out. Coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game that Ward was diagnosed with a concussion, the sixth documented one he has sustained since entering the NFL in 2018.
