Jakeem Grant’s first season with the Cleveland Browns came to an abrupt end Wednesday after he was placed on injured reserve with a torn Achilles that will keep him sidelined for the year. 

Grant, who signed a three-year contract worth up to $13.8 million in March, was carted off the field during Tuesday’s training camp session after getting injured during a one-on-one drill with cornerback A.J. Green.

"I really feel awful for Jakeem," head coach Kevin Stefanski said prior to Wednesday's announcement. "We’ve witnessed how hard the young man has worked since he got to our team.

"We all realize injuries are a part of our game, but that doesn’t make it any easier to accept — especially for someone that works as hard and carries himself like Jakeem."
