Morgan Burnett was in the midst of a fantastic game in Week 11. Facing his old team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Browns safety had an interception, a tackle-for-loss and five total tackles in the first half.
Unfortunately, his night — and almost certainly his 2019 season — is over. Burnett suffered a lower leg injury late in the first half and limped off to the locker room. He was diagnosed with an Achilles injury and will not return.
It’s a blow to the Browns defense, which has rotated players in and out all season due to injuries. Burnett has been initially replaced in the lineup by Juston Burris.
