Browns' Jakeem Grant: Placed on IR
The Browns placed Grant (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Grant's season thus officially comes to an end after he was diagnosed with a torn left Achilles' tendon following his exit from Tuesday's practice. While the absence of Grant will be felt most in the return game, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com notes that the 29-year-old had been pushing to carve out a slot role during training camp. Demetric Felton should get the first opportunity to replace Grant as the Browns' top option on kickoff and punt returns. Expect Grant to undergo surgery at some point later this month.

Browns' Jakeem Grant: Torn Achilles feared
Grant may have suffered a season-ending torn Achilles during Tuesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The report notes that the Browns are awaiting final word on Grant's injury, but it appears as though the 29-year-old is in for an extended absence. In that scenario, Cleveland's return game would take a major hit, while the depth of the team's wideout corps would also be impacted ahead of Week 1.

Browns' Jakeem Grant: Departs practice with leg injury
Grant (leg) was carted off during Tuesday's camp session, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Unfortunate news strikes Tuesday for Cleveland, as Grant was carted off the practice field and was unable to put any weight on his left leg. Recently, the seventh-year return specialist has taken more practice reps at receiver than he's used to, as many of the Browns' pass catchers have missed a portion of training camp attending to injuries. Expect to hear more regarding the severity of Grant's injury within the upcoming days, but from the way this sounds, Cleveland may be without the 29-year-old Week 1 against the Panthers.

Browns' Jakeem Grant: Gets steady reps
Grant has benefited from injuries at wide receiver to get steady reps during drills, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
Grant's primary role with Cleveland will be as a returner, but he and Michael Woods have showcased skills with the opportunity. Grant is one of the quicker players on the field and can be dangerous in the open field. None of the sidelined wideouts are dealing with significant injuries, so Grant's reps will eventually dry up.
