During the Cleveland Browns matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, a rookie defensive tackle from the team left the game early with trainers late in the game with an injury that was not disclosed.

A Cleveland Browns rookie fourth-round pick, Perrion Winfrey, walked into the locker room with trainers as the second preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles neared the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter of the game.

In terms of the nature of the injury that caused him to leave the game, it is unclear what caused it.

There is no question that the Browns’ defensive tackle has been identified as one of their top four defenders as they prepare for the upcoming season.

At the three-technique position, he serves as a backup to Taven Bryan. As a result, Bryan and Jordan Elliott did not play in this game, which left Winfrey, Tommy Togiai, Roderick Perry, and Ben Logan as the only players to play.

He did not appear to be playing in the first quarter, and he was virtually invisible for much of the game during which he did play.

During the fourth quarter, he was able to generate some pressure on the opposing team, including right before he left the game.

It will be beneficial for the former Oklahoma Sooner to get as many reps as he can get, as he was so raw coming out of college.

As long as the injury is a minor one, the Browns should be able to be at full strength with three weeks to prepare for their season opener on the road against the Carolina Panthers, provided that the injury is minor.

The Browns should be able to find a lot to like about Winfrey’s athletic ability, but he needs to refine his technique and add consistency to his game in order to make the team happy.

As a young player coming out of the NFL Draft, he was something that appealed to the Browns, but he may also have contributed to why he was available in the fourth round of the draft.

There is no doubt that the Browns are confident that Winfrey will be a productive player like a fellow rookie and third-round pick Alex Wright.

It could be a problem for the Browns this season in the sense that they are counting on him to contribute.

We will have the latest information on the nature of Winfrey’s injury as soon as we receive them.
