Source: Cleveland Browns lose WR Jakeem Grant to torn Achilles

BEREA, Ohio -- Follow-up tests have confirmed that Cleveland Browns wide receiver and kick returner Jakeem Grant Sr. has a torn Achilles, a source told ESPN on Wednesday.

Grant had to be carted off the field during Tuesday's practice after suffering the injury in the drill.

"I really feel awful for Jakeem," Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday before the results of the follow-up tests were known. "We've witnessed how hard the young man has worked since he got to our team. We all realize injuries are a part of our game but that doesn't make it any easier to accept especially for someone that works as hard and carries himself like Jakeem.
