Football is a violent game, a collision sport full of athletes who are getting bigger, stronger, and faster, with protective equipment only able to do so much.

Browns fans have had a lot of reasons to bemoan the fortunes of their franchise. Poor NFL draft decisions, constant turnover
in the front office and coaching staffs, big free agents flopping upon joining the team, random drama, and a whole lot of losses piling up in the record books.
Injuries have been a piece of the issues in Cleveland since “The Return” in 1999. A few jump to mind very quickly:
- RB Nick Chubb – Knee
- OL LeCharles Bentley – Knee, staph infection
- CB Gary Baxter – Both knees
- WR Joe Jurevicius – Knee, staph infection
- WR Odell Beckham Jr. – Knee
Of note, four of those five were veteran additions brought in through NFL free agency or a trade.

Which Browns player was robbed of a great career because of injury?
