EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion sustained a concussion in the first quarter of Cleveland's 17-12 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.
The injury occurred on the Browns' second drive, when Concepcion took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick while trying to make a catch and hit his head on the turf at MetLife Stadium.
Concepcion was on the ground for multiple minutes before being helped to his feet by Cleveland's medical staff. He immediately went to the locker room and was ruled out minutes later.
Fitzpatrick was penalized for a hit on a defenseless receiver.
"That's just a bang-bang play," Browns coach Todd Monken said after the game. "Minkah's been in this league a long time. I mean, he's not a dirty player. I've never seen that out of him. I mean, it's a bang-bang play. And unfortunately, it happened to our guy, and that's part of the league."
Entering Week 5, Concepcion, the No. 24 pick in the 2026 draft, was tied for first on the team in receptions (17) and was third with 144 receiving yards.
