Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mason Graham is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering an MCL sprain and ankle sprain against the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Friday.
Graham sustained the injury during Pittsburgh's opening series Thursday night, as his left leg bent awkwardly while he was being blocked. Graham walked to the medical tent with some assistance before walking to the locker room.
Following the Browns' 27-24 win, Graham left the locker room wearing a brace and on crutches.
The No. 5 pick in the 2025 draft, Graham is off to a strong start to his second season. His four sacks lead the Browns and are tied for the second most in the NFL.
