CLEVELAND — Less than a month after losing left tackle Joe Thomas, the Browns are faced with another season-ending injury to one of their captains and best players.
They learned on Monday they’ll be without linebacker Jamie Collins Sr. for the rest of the year because of an MCL injury he suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Lions.
Collins, a Pro Bowler and key cog of Cleveland’s young defense, intercepted Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford on the game’s second defensive series before crumpling almost immediately to the turf.
“He’s a big-time player,” head coach Hue Jackson said.
