DENVER — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper left the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos after taking a hard hit to the midsection.
Cooper went up for a catch and was hit in the rib area by Broncos safety P.J. Locke, which left Cooper on the ground and in pain.
Trainers came out to the field and walked Cooper into the medical tent for evaluation, later walking him back to the locker room for more testing. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Cooper's X-rays were negative.
The wide receiver had reached a career milestone earlier in the game, surpassing 9,000 receiving yards in the game.

Cooper's injury wasn't the first. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson left the game in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury after taking a bit of a hit that left his mouth bloody. P.J. Walker took over at quarterback.
Thompson-Robinson was diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out. That is an injury that has the potential to linger and require the Browns to once again address their quarterback situation.

Meanwhile, defensive end Myles Garrett was playing through what was thought to be a wrist injury that sidelined him for several plays. He was never given an injury designation but did leave for rest on the sideline at points on Sunday.
Garrett was seen in the locker room after the game wearing a sling, telling reporters he felt a "pop" in his shoulder during the game and that he's not sure how severe the injury is, planning to have scans on Monday morning to learn more, according to ESPN.
Defensive tackle Jordan Elliott also suffered an injury, Stefanski calling it an ankle injury after the game.
