On the first play, Cleveland landed on his helmet after attempting a leaping catch on a pass from Tanner McKee in the third quarter. Trainers placed Cleveland on a backboard and a stretcher before he was carted off the field.

The former Broncos’ seventh-round pick has had a very good training camp and has really come on strong as of late. In the first preseason game, Cleveland was targeted 10 times and had 5 catches for 68 yards. And then Cleveland continued his strong play in the joint practices against the Browns. He caught an impressive touchdown on a fade route in the most competitive period of Tuesday’s fiery practice.
