JoJo Natson placed on IR with a knee injury

JoJo Natson finally got a chance to return a kickoff for the Cleveland Browns. It took until Week 3 before Natson, who doubles as a wide receiver, attempted a kick return.

Sadly it will be his only attempt.

Natson was placed on injured reserve by the Browns with a knee injury. The team announced on Monday that Natson will miss the rest of the 2020 season.

“I hate long-term injuries like that,” coach Kevin Stefanski said in his media address. “JoJo was doing a nice job for us on the offensive side. As an offensive staff, those guys will sit down and figure out if there’s another guy on the roster who can do those types of things. We’ve got to continue as much as we can to be difficult to defend. With JoJo’s role, we’ll work through that.”

The primary candidate to take over for Natson is rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones, who has been a healthy scratch in all three games thus far.
