The Browns saw two cornerbacks leave the game in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.
E.J. Gaines went for a concussion evaluation after getting hurt on Kareem Hunt’s 50-yard touchdown catch early in the first quarter. When the Chiefs got the ball, the Browns were also without Denzel Ward as the first-round pick went back to the locker room.
The team announced he has a hip injury and his return is considered questionable.
A penalty on guard Cam Erving and a sack by Genard Avery forced the Chiefs into a third-and-long after Ward’s departure, but Patrick Mahomes and Spencer Ware hooked up for a 24-yard gain to keep the drive alive. A Tyreek Hill run moved them into the red zone and Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for an 11-yard touchdown to up the lead to 14-3 in Cleveland.
