Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian sustained an ankle injury and exited the field midway through the second quarter of New York’s Monday night game against the Cleveland Browns.
The Jets later announced Siemian’s ankle ailment was being evaluated.
Siemian was injured when he was hit by Browns defensive Myles Garrett after throwing a deep incompletion in East Rutherford, N.J. Siemian’s toes pressed into the turf and his left leg twisted as he felt the brunt of the weight of his lower body plus Garrett’s body weight falling on him.
Siemian was able to walk off the field and soon was taken into the locker room for observation. He had completed 3 of 6 passes for 3 yards.
Luke Falk, a former star quarterback at Washington State, replaced him. Falk drove the Jets to a field goal to narrow their deficit to 13-3 with 2:56 left in the half.
Siemian started Monday because Sam Darnold was out due to mononucleosis.
