Browns place Hunt, JOK on injured reserve

The Cleveland Browns have officially placed both players on injured reserve.

As expected, the Cleveland Browns have placed Kareem Hunt and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on injured reserve. Both players suffered injuries in the loss to Arizona and both are expected to miss significant time.

The #Browns have officially placed RB Kareem Hunt (calf) and rookie LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (ankle) on IR, meaning they will have to sit at least the next three games. Team also signed training camp star RB John Kelly to active roster.

With Hunt on injured reserve and Nick Chubb missing Thursday’s game against Denver, the team will turn to D’Ernest Johnson as their starting running back. The injuries are certainly piling up for a team that is 3-3 and watching their playoff hopes start to slip away.
