Browns' Leading Receiver Amari Cooper Sidelined with Concussion

Joe Flacco steps in as quarterback amidst a season plagued by injuries for the Browns.

Amari Cooper, the Cleveland Browns' leading wide receiver, was ruled out of the game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a concussion.
Cooper had three catches for 34 yards before leaving the game in the second quarter.
Joe Flacco, signed to the Browns' practice squad on Nov. 20, made his first start as Cleveland's quarterback after Dorian Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion in the previous week's loss at Denver.
The Browns have been hit hard by injuries this season, losing key players including quarterback Deshaun Watson, running back Nick Chubb, and right tackle Jack Conklin to season-ending injuries.
The Browns, who are hoping to make the playoffs for the first time since 2020, entered the game against the Rams with a 7-4 record.
