The worst has been confirmed by Cleveland Browns cornerback Martin Emerson Jr.
The Browns’ defensive back suffered a lower leg injury on Tuesday, which many were speculating was a torn Achilles.
“Martin Emerson Jr. suffered what’s an Achilles injury in today’s practice,” Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday. “He’ll undergo imaging to determine the full extent of the injury but the expectation is it’s a significant tear.”

After further evaluation, it was confirmed Emerson tore his Achilles and is done for the 2025 season.
“CB Martin Emerson Jr. tore his Achilles and is out for the entire 2025 season,” Ari Meirov confirms.. “A brutal blow for Emerson Jr., who was entering the final year of his rookie deal. He has started 33 games over three seasons, recording 4 interceptions, 34 pass deflections, and 202 tackles.”
The Browns’ secondary is very thin when it comes to boundary cornerbacks. Not having Emerson could lead to Cleveland hitting the free agent market to bring in a proven veteran.
