Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion was knocked out of Sunday's game against the New York Jets following an illegal hit in the opening quarter, according to reports from ESPN and Fox News. Both outlets confirmed that the first-year receiver was ruled out for the rest of the contest.
The incident occurred on a pass from quarterback Deshaun Watson, according to Fox News, when Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick struck Concepcion and drew a penalty flag for hitting a defenseless receiver. While ESPN specifically reported that Concepcion sustained a head injury on the play, Fox News noted that he remained on the ground for several moments before exiting the field on his own power alongside medical personnel.

Shared reporting
- Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion left the game against the New York Jets in the first quarter.
- Concepcion was knocked out of the game following an illegal, penalized hit.
- He was officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
Different framing
- ESPN specifically identified the injury as a head injury, whereas Fox News described the collision as a 'brutal' and 'old-school hit' that left him with 'his bell rung' without explicitly using the medical term head injury in its reporting.
- Fox News identified the defender involved as Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and noted the exact penalty as a hit on a defenseless receiver, details omitted in ESPN's summary.
Why it matters
Losing a starting first-round rookie target early in the game challenges Cleveland's passing attack while once again putting the NFL's player safety enforcement on defenseless hits under scrutiny.
