The Cleveland Browns’ 2023 season has been hit with injuries left and right.

Unfortunately, they’ve taken another one. Despite the playoff clinching win over the Jets, there has to be just a bit of bad news. 

In the Browns’ 37-20 win over the New York Jets, the team lost WR Elijah Moore late in the second quarter after he took a hit off the ground to his head. It didn’t look good at all and Moore stayed down a bit before eventually exiting.

The biggest reason the injury hurts Cleveland is that WR Amari Cooper did not suit up in Week 17 due to a heel injury. After losing Moore, the Browns’ wide receiver room is incredibly thin.

Luckily for Cleveland, TE David Njoku is like having another wide receiver on the field and he showed that against the Jets. Njoku went off for 128 yards in the first half and finished with

With the playoffs clinched and one game left in the season, it would not be a surprise to see Moore sit next week in Cincinnati. If the Baltimore Ravens win this weekend, the No. 1 seed will be out of reach for the Browns and they will likely opt to rest some players.

Before exiting, Moore made his impact with five catches resulting in 61 yards and a score. The score was likely special to Moore, who was traded to Cleveland in the offseason from the Jets.

Moore was ruled out at halftime and this story will be updated when more information becomes available.
