AUGUST 10: Grant’s MRI confirmed the team’s fears. The former Pro Bowl return man will miss the 2022 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.
AUGUST 9: The Browns have been dealt a significant blow in their receiving corps, but also the return game. Jakeem Grant is suspected to have suffered a torn Achilles, per ESPN’s Jake Trotter (Twitter link). 
Grant, 29, has only totaled 100 receptions during his six-year career. He is best known for his effectiveness as a returner, something which earned him a significant free agent deal this offseason. Cleveland signed him to a three-year contract with a maximum value of nearly $14MM. The first campaign on that pact appears to be over before it began.
A sixth-round pick of the Dolphins, Grant registered over 1,000 all-purpose yards in 2018. That campaign included a 102-yard kick return, which was the longest in the league. He scored the only KR major the following year, and has maintained a carer average of 24.5 yards per runback on kickoffs, and over 10 yards per punt return.
A two-time Second-Team All-Pro member for his dynamic special teams play, the Texas Tech alum also received his first Pro Bowl nod last season, one which was split between the Dolphins and Bears. After his October trade to the Windy City, Grant saw a notable bump in offensive playing time, something which was likely to continue during his Browns tenure.
Cleveland has a new No. 1 wideout in Amari Cooper, but little else in the way of established veterans in their pass-catching corps. The release of Jarvis Landry opened up a starting role in the slot, which the five-foot-seven Grant was working towards earning during training camp. At a minimum, he faced the opportunity to improve upon his 29-catch, 330-yard performance in 2020, which was a career-high.
More testing will be done to confirm the injury, but Grant is likely to be sidelined for the 2022 season. In his absence, the Browns will move forward with the likes of Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Anthony Schwartz and third-round rookie David Bell in their wideout room. The team has ample cap space, so a deal to bring in a higher-profile receiver like Odell Beckham Jr. remains financially possible, but a reunion has long been considered unlikely. In addition, the Browns now need to find a replacement in their return game.
The karma at Brown’s camp continues
Beat me to it
Oooh nooooooo question. KARMA in big bold capital letters.
Good. For signing that deviant ra**st pos AND pay him that outrageous amount of money..
To be that desperate to win in the NFL because you can’t do it any other way…smh. only from the worst organization in professional sports for so many years.
Karma.
What Rapist did Cleveland sign? You can’t be referring to Watson, because he wasn’t accused of raping anyone.
Just because he wasn’t accused doesn’t mean he didn’t rape anyone
So say the Rapistberger fans.
Oh, what have you said about them for the past decade…?
Will Fuller on Line 1
Beat me to it.
Well played.
Will Fuller just pulled his hamstring walking to pick up the phone
If they sign Fuller, it’s not to replace their returner.
This is a bad development for the Rape City Browns.
The fans in Rape City, OH must be concerned about their WR depth.
Far more than they are concerned about those dozens of women, at least.
I would say Rape City would be Pittsburgh. You have Roethlisberger that was accused of rape instead of a little touchy feely. And you had the all star relief pitcher that raped the teenager. Good thing you don’t live in Pittsburgh
And you have a QB that is a sexual predator n Cleveland. The mistake on the lake. The garbage dump of the USA. Keep defending an average football player that’s all about him and protecting himself. He has no concern for anyone else in the world. Just as long as he gets his bag. Pathetic. Just like the trolls that defend him.
The guy they drafted and won two Super Bowls with was not (yet) a rapist.
The Rape City Brown intentionally chose to acquire a rapist and the fans (such as yourself) in Rape City, OH have embraced him as the face of their franchise and city willfully.
Unlike his victims.
So Pittsburgh NEVER resigned Roethlisberger after the rape? Seems like they could have moved on but chose to embrace him. You’re not going to win with me. I’m way smarter
Keep changing the subject. You’re basically arguing against you’re boy friend DeShawn. Let go of his junk dude. He only likes to show it when the victim doesn’t want to see it.
“You’re not going to win with me” AKA what each member of the Rape City Browns says to each other.
And the fans of Rape City Browns go on being the clown loser jokes of pro sports.
Oh well, at least the Rape City Cavaliers had that one fluke title, right?
I don’t care about the cavaliers. I’ve never lived in Cleveland ever. Just a Browns fan. I’m going to need to see proof that he was accused of rape. What did I tell you about lying? Anyway, everything happened in Texas.
Cleveland is Rape City, USA.
Texas is the State of Rape. (Seriously, though…highest rate of rape in the US is in Texas).
Maybe it was because of Watson?
I thought Abbott said he was going to eliminate rape
Don’t let the dumpster fire spread to Cuyahoga River lol
I don’t live in Cleveland. I live in Florida most of the time.
So you live in the second biggest dumpster for American. I hope your life gets wrecked by a hurricane.
So Brownsbacker9 = Florida Man…….All of a sudden things are starting to make sense.
Yeah. I’m rich and can afford to live in both places.
