- Browns’ Dawand Jones Reveals What he Told Minkah Fitzpatrick Over Brutal Hit on KC Concepcion
The Cleveland Browns saw their three-game winning streak end on Sunday, as the New York Jets dealt Deshaun Watson and company a 17-12 loss at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
Cleveland still has a winning record, but what made the team's loss to the Jets even uglier was the scary moment in the fourth quarter involving wide receiver KC Concepcion.

Browns offensive tackle Dawan Jones surely did not like what Fitzpatrick did.
"I just told him that (expletive)'s (expletive) up. I was there on the field when he did that (expletive) to Chubb, and he just told me, 'It's football,'" Jones said, "and I'm not down with that (expletive)," Jones said, via Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com .

Concepcion suffered a concussion as a result of Fitzpatrick's hit. He looked motionless for a moment after the hit before getting up and leaving the field. The former Texas A&M Aggies star wide receiver was later ruled out for the remainder of the game.
The Browns now hope that Concepcion will recover from his injury as soon as possible.
Taken by Cleveland 24th overall in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Concepcion entered Week 5 with just 144 receiving yards and zero touchdowns on 17 receptions.
The 3-2 Cleveland squad will look to bounce right back in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens at home.
