Although the Cleveland Browns exited Thursday night’s game the victors on the right side of a 29-17 scoreboard, it was not without casualties. The current AFC North leaders lost starting linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. following a screen pass early in the third quarter.
Facing a 2nd and 14, the Steelers ran a screen to running back Jaylen Warren, which worked superbly, picking up 35 yards in the process; right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor, however, was flagged on the play after hitting Walker, who went down and left the game with an injury.
But he wasn’t flagged for the hit, nor was he flagged for putting his body on top of him while Walker was down.
