The severity of the injured Cleveland Browns wide receiver from Thursday’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Game is now known.
Daylen Baldwin, now a former Browns’ wide receiver that was waived with an injury designation, tore a small tendon behind his knee. The tear will require surgery that will sideline him for 6-to-8 weeks, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Following a play during Cleveland’s 21-16 win over the New York Jets, Baldwin was visibly frustrated as he slammed his helmet on the ground. It looked as if the Michigan product immediately knew something right. The injury was stated to be a hamstring injury at first, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Baldwin spent time with the Browns’ practice squad last season before being elevated and appearing in one game. During that one game, Baldwin tallied two catches for 25 yards.
Baldwin was targeted against the Jets once, though he did not record a catch.
It was unfortunate news at the time for a player that hoped to stick with Cleveland, at least on the practice squad. Following the injury Cleveland signed wide receiver Jaylen Wayne, an undrafted rookie out of South Alabama.
It sounds as if the Browns would like to sign Baldwin back following his injury as long as the healing process goes smoothly.
