Browns place running back Dylan Sampson on injured reserve

The Cleveland Browns have placed running back Dylan Sampson on injured reserve following a left knee injury sustained during their 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The injury, which occurred in the first quarter of the game, will sideline Sampson for a minimum of four games. Despite this setback, the Browns have other running backs in Raheim Sanders and Jaleel McLaughlin to rely on, with McLaughlin joining the team via the practice squad.

Sampson's absence is significant as he also contributes as a kick returner, having set up a field goal for the team with a 74-yard return earlier in the season. The team is hopeful that Sampson could be back on the field before their next game against the Baltimore Ravens on October 18.
