Browns officially place Morgan Burnett on injured reserve

Morgan Burnett’s 2019 season with the Cleveland Browns is now officially over. The Browns placed the starting safety on injured reserve on Tuesday with his torn Achilles tendon.

Burnett suffered the injury in the second quarter of Thursday night’s 21-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was having a great game against his former team, notching an interception and a tackle for loss among his five total stops.

His first season in Cleveland ends with 41 total tackles, two sacks, one interception and four TFLs. He has one year remaining on the 2-year, $7.5 million contract he signed as a free agent this offseason.
