Browns Fear Torn Achilles For WR Jakeem Grant

Jake Trotter reports that Browns WR/KR Jakeem Grant may have suffered an Achilles’ injury in practice which would cause him to miss significant time.

Ian Rapoport reports that Grant is set to undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Grant, 29, is a former sixth-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.48 million rookie contract when the Dolphins signed him to a four-year extension worth up to $24 million in 2019. 

Miami restructured that contract entering the 2021 season before he was acquired by the Bears in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round draft pick. 

He was testing the free agent market this offseason when he signed a three-year, $13.8 million deal with Cleveland.

In 2021, Grant appeared in four games for the Dolphins and 11 games for the Bears, recording 11 receptions for 132 yards (12.0 YPC) and two touchdowns, to go along with five rushing attempts for 33 yards. He also recorded 539 kickoff return yards and 309 put return yards and a touchdown.

We will have more news on Grant as it becomes available.
