The Cleveland Browns tight end will most likely miss the entire 2021 season after suffering a leg injury Saturday.
Cleveland’s tight end depth may have taken a hit this past weekend. Stephen Carlson suffered an injury in Saturday’s preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and will likely miss the upcoming season.

While the Browns have three tight ends ahead of Carlson on the roster (Austin Hooper, Harrison Bryant, David Njoku), their offensive scheme requires a larger volume of tight ends than most other teams. There is without a doubt that if Carlson is indeed out for the season that the Browns will be adding another to their roster sooner rather than later.
