Browns' Pierre Strong Hospitalized After Rib Injury

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. was taken to the hospital by ambulance after suffering a noncontact upper-body injury during practice. This marks the second time a Browns running back has been hospitalized during training camp, with D'Onta Foreman previously being airlifted after a head injury. Strong, who joined the Browns from the Patriots in 2023, walked off the field with trainers before being transported. Head Coach Kevin Stefanski identified the injury as rib-related but provided no further details. The Browns' running back unit is notably strained, with multiple players, including Nick Chubb and Nyheim Hines, currently injured.
