BEREA, Ohio (AP) – Browns starting safety Jordan Poyer could be lost for the season after sustaining a lacerated kidney.
Poyer remains hospitalized in Nashville, Tennessee, with the serious injury, which came after he was blindsided on a vicious hit in the second quarter by Titans running back Antonio Andrews, who was flagged for a personal foul.
Browns coach Hue Jackson said he had several text messages with Poyer on Monday and that the 25-year-old is in good spirits.
Jackson does not know if Poyer will play again this season.
“He took a major hit,” Jackson said. “Obviously that’s going to take some time for him to heal from. I think obviously a kidney is a serious thing. I hope we can (get him back), but if we don’t I do understand that too because that’s something that’s very serious.”
