BEREA, Ohio (WKBN) — Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong left the team’s practice facility in an ambulance on Wednesday afternoon.

Strong has appeared in both of Cleveland’s preseason games, rushing for a total of 21 yards in limited action.

He was originally acquired by the Browns in a trade with New England at the end of training camp in 2023.

In his first season in Cleveland, he rushed for 291 yards and a touchdown. He was also used as a kickoff returner.

Strong was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of South Dakota State.
