CLEVELAND — After losing an offensive lineman to injury, the Browns took another blow on the opposite side of the ball, seeing defensive tackle Maliek Collins carted off the field in Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Collins remained down on the field after a play in the third quarter.
Trainers came to check on him as he dealt with an apparent leg injury, and a short time later, the cart was brought out to the field.
Collins was taken off the field via the cart.
Not long after leaving the game, Collins was ruled out for the remainder with a knee injury.
Losing Collins is a major blow to the defense. Collins has helped star pass rusher Myles Garrett generate sacks on the outside with his interior pressure. Collins has also been able to get to the quarterback, posting 6.5 sacks for the Browns this season with 24 tackles and seven tackles for loss.
