KC Concepcion has been as advertised thus far in the NFL.
The product of Texas A&M and NC State has already been a playmaker for the Cleveland Browns after being a first-round draft pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
That’s going to hit a tough break on Sunday, though. He sustained an injury in the first quarter for the Browns against the Jets in Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season.
KC Concepcion Injury Update
Concepcion was running a route toward the left sideline when Deshaun Watson targeted him.
The throw put Concepcion into traffic, and Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick crushed Concepcion with a helmet hit to his head.
Concepcion stayed down and initially wasn’t moving.
The injury certainly looked like one that would be tough for Concepcion to come back from at least on Sunday.
Hopes from fans from all the points along Concepcion’s journey will just be hoping that he’s OK.
The Browns did quickly rule Concepcion out for the rest of the game.
