Cleveland Browns star out for season with torn Achilles

The worst has been confirmed by Cleveland Browns cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. The Browns' defensive back suffered a lower leg injury on Tuesday, which many were speculating was a torn Achilles. "Martin Emerson Jr. suffered what's an Achilles injury in today's practice," Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday. "He'll undergo imaging to determine the full extent of the injury but the expectation is it's a significant tear." After further evaluation, it was confirmed Emerson tore his Achilles and is done for the 2025 season. "CB Martin Emerson Jr. tore his Achilles and is out for the entire 2025 season," Ari Meirov confirms.. "A brutal blow for Emerson Jr., who was entering the final year of his rookie deal. He has started 33 games over three seasons, recording 4 interceptions, 34 pass deflections, and 202 tackles." The Browns' secondary is very thin when it comes to boundary cornerbacks. Not having Emerson could lead to Cleveland hitting the free agent market to bring in a proven veteran.

Falcons to sign wide receiver DJ Chark, per report

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to sign veteran wide receiver DJ Chark Jr., according to a report from Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. The former second-round pick spent last season with the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in seven games and recording four catches for 31 receiving yards and one touchdown. The Falcons have yet to provide an update on wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who exited Thursday's practice after suffering an injury. This signing could be an indication that Mooney will miss time. Chark, 28, has recorded 216 catches for 3,100 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns since entering the league in 2018. The former LSU Tiger had a career season in 2019 when he topped 1,000 receiving yards and made the Pro Bowl as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. After spending his first four NFL seasons in Jacksonville, Chark spent one season with the Detroit Lions in 2022. In 2023, Chark signed with the Carolina Panthers, recording 525 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 15 games. If the Falcons are to be without Mooney for an extended period of time, Chark isn't a bad replacement. Atlanta also released veteran defensive back Kevin King and placed three players on the non-football injury list on Thursday. Check out the team's updated 90-man training camp roster following these recent transactions.
