New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns Injured
Pete Werner Carted Off
The New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns faced off in a preseason matchup on Friday night, and the game was marred by a serious injury to Saints linebacker Pete Werner. Werner was carted off the field in the first quarter and did not return. The Saints have not yet released an official update on his condition, but it is feared that he may have suffered a torn ACL.
Werner is a Key Part of the Saints' Defense
Werner is a key part of the Saints' defense, and his injury is a big blow. He was expected to start at middle linebacker this season, and his absence will be felt. The Saints have some depth at linebacker, but Werner is their best player at the position. His injury could force the Saints to make some changes to their defense, and it could also have a negative impact on their chances of making the playoffs.
The Browns Also Suffered Injuries
The Browns also suffered some injuries in the game, although none were as serious as Werner's. Quarterback Deshaun Watson was sacked twice and left the game briefly with a knee injury, but he was able to return. Running back Kareem Hunt also left the game with an ankle injury, but he is expected to be fine. The Browns are hoping to avoid any major injuries this season, as they are looking to make a run at the Super Bowl.
More News to Come
More news on Werner's injury is expected to be released soon. Stay tuned for updates.
