Cleveland defensive end Za’Darius Smith was carted off the field during the Browns’ Monday practice due to a knee contusion.
Smith was participating in red zone drills when the injury occurred. He is set to be re-evaluated on Tuesday.
In 16 games (all starts) last season, his first with Cleveland, Smith recorded 5.5 sacks, 27 tackles and a forced fumble.
Smith, 31, has played 123 games (80 starts) across nine NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2015-18), Green Bay Packers (2019-21), Minnesota Vikings (2022) and Cleveland. He has 60 sacks, 298 tackles, 15 passes defensed, 10 forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his career.
The Browns open the preseason on Saturday against the Packers.
