The Facts: The Browns are already without Josh Gordon to start training camp. Now they will be without one of the receivers who could have benefited from Gordon's absence. Louis will miss the 2018 season with a neck injury.
Diehards Line:HC Hue Jackson said that Louis likely hurt his neck late in the 2017 season but didn't specify when the injury occurred. "There were some things that started to show up in the offseason," Jackson said, "and we kept working through it and trying to get him back and it just didn't work that way."
Jackson wouldn't get into whether the injury could be career-threatening. Louis led Browns wide receivers in yardage last season and fourth on the team with 357 yards. He caught 27 passes. A fourth-round pick out of Auburn in 2016, Louis has 45 career catches for 562 yards.
