Browns lose DE Takk McKinley to torn Achilles

Cleveland Browns defensive end Takkarist McKinley saw his 2021 season come to an end on Monday with a torn Achilles tendon.

McKinley was injured in the third quarter of Monday’s 16-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and will soon be placed on season-ending injured reserve. It is the second consecutive year that the Browns have lost a defensive end to an Achilles injury, as Olivier Vernon suffered the same injury in the team’s playoff win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in January.
