Browns do-everything rookie exits Raiders game with groin injury

Cleveland Browns football player Adin Huntington left the game against the Las Vegas Raiders with a groin injury.

He suffered a groin injury during the first quarter. He is questionable to return. The Browns list Huntington as a defensive tackle, but he wears a lot of hats for the team. He's a rotational defensive tackle, an extra blocker in short-yardage situations, and he plays on most of the special teams formations. If there's a way to get on the field, Huntington will find it. He's a good reminder of how much effort and toughness still matter in a game dominated by genetics and athletics.

The Browns will have a tough time replacing Huntington, but they'll need to find a way. While the Browns' defensive line is solid, their special teams unit needs all the help it can get. A game between the Browns and the Raiders will undoubtedly result in a lot of punting.

Thankfully, the Browns have a 14-3 lead against the Raiders. The defense should have no problem suffocating the Raiders. However, the Browns cannot let explosive special team plays destroy another of their game plans.
