What happened to Jakeem Grant?

Grant, who suffered a major Achilles injury, was eyeing a return to action this season.

He was tasked with kick return duties for the opening kickoff. After returning the kickoff for 23 yards, Grant appeared to suffer a serious knee injury that needed urgent medical attention.

Per Mary Kay Cabot, Grant went down clutching his knee and was heard wincing in pain.

He was subsequently ruled out of the game.

At the time of writing, the Browns returned to action, with Deshaun Watson connecting with tight end David Njoku for a 10-yard touchdown. Njoku and Watson have been building chemistry all offseason long, a move that appears to have paid dividends this time around.
