Wide receiver Rod Streater fractured a bone in his neck in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers and will miss the season, ESPN.com’s Pat McManamon tweets. On the plus side, Streater will not need surgery and doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
Streater was signed to a one-year deal last month following the Josh Gordon trade. The deal snapped a long layoff for the 30-year-old, who had not played in a regular season game since the ’16 season with the 49ers.
Streater was on the roster for three games, but did not have a pass thrown in his direction. His final stat line with Cleveland consists of one carry for negative 11 yards against the Ravens.
A 6-foot-2 pass-catcher, Streater’s most notable NFL work came with the Raiders many years ago. He caught 60 passes for 888 yards and four touchdowns with Oakland in 2013, doing so after surpassing 500 air yards as a rookie in 2012. In the seasons since, he hasn’t exceeded 300 yards combined.
In related news, Browns rookie receiver Derrick Willies underwent surgery for his broken collarbone. But, unlike Streater, he is a candidate to return from IR later this year.
no loss there.. glad his neck injury wasn’t any more severe though, scary stuff.
Any injury to the neck even a fracture is a serious injury u moron
i meant more severe as in being paralyzed. says he’s going to make a full recovery. get outta here you troll.
I guess back to the drawing board again after a dreadful lost to the chargers and could the browns sign dez Bryant or trade for amari cooper now
Well, best of luck. Perriman signed with the right team (probably the only team that wanted him on the active roster). Huge Perriman supporter but he (obviously) wore out his welcome here. IF he can succeed in Cleveland, I’d make a small fortune. Spent SO much money on Perris cards when we drafted him.
