NASHVILLE, Tenn.: As Browns starting free safety Jordan Poyer ran down the field to cover a punt, Tennessee Titans running back Antonio Andrews blasted him with a devastating blow to the midsection, chest and face mask.
Poyer remained on the ground for several minutes after absorbing the hit with 6:33 left in the second quarter. He eventually walked to the sideline with medical personnel. They checked him for a concussion, carted him off the field from the sideline and took him to Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital before halftime.
Poyer was diagnosed with a lacerated kidney, coach Hue Jackson said.
