Just when he was getting going, his season is over. No, I’m not talking about Myles Garrett, but I am talking about another Cleveland Browns defender, and in this case, a former member of the Pittsburgh Steelers in safety Morgan Burnett. The 10th-year veteran suffered a torn Achilles during the Browns’ victory over the Steelers on Thursday night, and is obviously out for the remainder of the year.
The 30-year-old safety was having his best game of the season, recording an interception—his first since two teams ago, when he was still with the Green Bay Packers in 2016—in addition to five total tackles, with two passes defensed.
