KC Concepcion, the rookie wideout for the Cleveland Browns, just dropped an encouraging update after a seriously scary moment on Sunday. The former Texas A&M star took a brutal hit during the Browns’ 17-12 loss to the New York Jets, and everyone was holding their breath.
That First Quarter Scare Was No Joke
This was no ordinary bump. Late in the first quarter, Concepcion was attempting a catch when Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick laid out a helmet-to-helmet hit. It was nasty. Concepcion stayed down on the field for several agonizing minutes before he was able to walk off to the locker room on his own. Fitzpatrick got flagged for hitting a defenseless receiver, and the Browns immediately ruled Concepcion out with a head injury. We’ve all seen those hits, and you just know it’s not good when the team quickly shuts a guy down.
Good Spirits and An Insta Post That Says It All
Thankfully, the updates started rolling in after the game. Browns head coach Todd Monken said he saw Concepcion and that the rookie was “in good spirits.” Monken added that he’d “assume he is in concussion protocol.” Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson echoed that, saying Concepcion was doing well and even highlighted how important the rookie had been to Cleveland’s game plan. But the real relief came directly from the man himself. Concepcion took to his Instagram story, posting a picture with a simple, powerful message: “Y’all know I’m good thanks to the lord and savior.” That’s the kind of direct update that everyone needed to see.
Even with the encouraging news, Concepcion still has to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol, which means there’s no set timeline for his return. The Browns are gonna be watching his practice participation real close to see if he can suit up for their next game. Fingers crossed, right?
