Browns News: CB Terrance Mitchell Could Miss Season with Broken Forearm Injury

Cleveland Browns cornerback Terrance Mitchell could miss the remainder of the 2018 season after suffering a broken forearm in Sunday's 45-42 loss to the Oakland Raiders.

Mitchell was carted off the field after hurting his arm when defending a Derek Carr pass intended for Jordy Nelson. The Browns moved E.J. Gaines to Mitchell's spot in the defense.

"We had to move some guys around," head coach Hue Jackson told reporters. "Had some guys do some things they hadn't done in a while. But that's pro football."

Mitchell signed a three-year contract with the Browns this offseason. He had 19 tackles, two forced fumbles and an interception through the first four games.

Gaines will see a majority of the work outside with Mitchell on the shelf. Rookie Denzel Ward will also have an uptick in responsibility, while T.J. Carrie moves into the third corner slot.

As a team, the Browns have picked off seven passes and rank fifth in passer rating against (79.5).
