There are two main goals of the preseason. One, you would like to prepare your team for the regular season, and using live action reps is always the best way to get up to speed. Two, you want to do that and be injury-free. The Cleveland Browns' offensive line could have suffered a blow as Ethan Pocic was injured early in Saturday’s game vs. the Los Angeles Rams.
Pocic is helped up by trainers and walks off the field on his own power. He's headed to the medical tent. Luke Wypler enters in at center. https://t.co/wmVIUS3jwP

At this point, the details are extremely limited with no updates expected until after the game, but Pocic has been ruled out of the game after receiving medical attention on the field for his left knee.
Being ruled out isn’t a huge red flag in the preseason, if you leave the field with medical personnel, there is always a good chance you won’t be returning. A serious injury to Pocic would not be good, but it is an area where there is some depth with Zac Zinter and Luke Wypler, who both played the position in college.
We may not receive any great updates today, but by Monday of next week, we should no the extent of the injury and if it looks like he will be available for Week 1.
