BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns linebacker Chris Gocong has been carted off the practice field with a right leg injury.

The 28-year-old Gocong was in obvious pain as he couldn’t get up after a play Saturday. Trainers took off his right shoe and checked Gocong’s ankle. As he was lifted onto a cart, Gocong kept his entire leg straight in protection.

Gocong has started all 32 games for Cleveland since being acquired from Philadelphia in a trade in April 2010. An Eagles third-round pick in 2006, he missed his rookie season with a stinger, and has played every game but one since.
