OAKLAND, CALIF. – The Browns likely lost more than a football game on Sunday.
A few hours after the dust settled on their 45-42, overtime defeat to the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland came to grips with the harsh reality that they may have lost starting cornerback Terrance Mitchell for the remainder of the season.
After the game, head coach Hue Jackson confirmed what most had speculated, Mitchell had suffered a broken forearm. He sustained the injury early on in the second quarter, Sunday, leaping to break up a pass in coverage on speedy Raiders’ wideout Jordy Nelson. The 26-year-old came down hard on his left arm and could be seen walking off the field holding it up with his other hand.
