Jaguars defensive end B.J. Green II exits game against Browns with elbow injury

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end B.J. Green II exited the team's September 13 game against the Cleveland Browns during the first quarter. The second-year player sustained an elbow injury while participating on the punt return team at EverBank Stadium. Jaguars staff designated Green as questionable to return to the contest. Green serves as the primary backup to Josh Hines-Allen and plays a role on special teams. His absence leaves the team short-handed on the defensive line, as third-team end Bryan Thomas Jr. is inactive for the matchup. The Jaguars have not provided further updates on his status as the game remains in progress.
