Browns CB Troy Hill taken off on a stretcher vs. Patriots

Cleveland Browns cornerback Troy Hill appeared to suffer a serious neck injury late in a blowout loss to the New England Patriots.

Hill, 30, went down after trying to tackle Patriots receiver Jakobi Meyers, who shed the tackle en route to a touchdown. Hill was motionless on the field and was then strapped to a stretcher by medical personnel who wheeled him off the field. Shortly after Hill's departure, the Browns announced that he had motion in all of his extremities and was being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.

The seventh-year cornerback is in his first season with the Browns after signing a four-year contract with Cleveland in free agency. He previously played five seasons with the Los Angeles Rams and returned two interceptions for touchdowns during a breakout season in 2020.

In 10 games with the Browns, Hill has made a surprising impact as a blitzer with two sacks on the season. He entered the year with just one sack in his first six NFL seasons.

The Browns lost 45-7 to the Patriots in Week 10 and dropped to 5-5 on the year.
