Duke Johnson suffers concussion in Browns' third preseason game

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Duke Johnson left Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a concussion.

What It Means:

Johnson's preseason debut was short as he sustained the injury in the first quarter. Johnson is viewed as a candidate to lead the team in touches, but he has had injury difficulties throughout the preseason. He missed the Browns' first two preseason games with a hamstring injury.

The Browns ranked 32nd in our schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points metric last season. Our algorithms project Johnson to finish the year with 163 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, 23 receptions, and 186 receiving yards, as the 75th-ranked fantasy running back.
