Trey Sermon exits preseason game vs Broncos with apparent hamstring injury

In the Indianapolis Colts’ preseason showdown against the Denver Broncos, running back Trey Sermon suffered a hamstring injury, sidelining him for the remainder of the game, per Adam Schefter. Sermon is entering his second season with the Colts and his fourth campaign in the NFL.

Before leaving the game on Sunday, Sermon recorded one catch for 12 yards. He did not record any rushing attempts. Sermon signed with the Colts’ practice squad in September 2023 before being promoted to the active roster only four days later.

In 14 games last season, Sermon tallied 35 carries for 160 rushing yards. He failed to score a touchdown. Sermon has also spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Sermon spent his final collegiate season at Ohio State, where he amassed 870 rushing yards and four touchdowns in a mere eight appearances. Sermon’s best game with the Buckeyes came in the Big Ten Championship against Northwestern.

In the win, Sermon erupted for 331 rushing yards, the most in a single game by an Ohio State player and the highest ever in a FBS championship game. Sermon also notched 193 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the 2021 Sugar Bowl against Clemson.

Before transferring to Ohio State ahead of the 2020 campaign, Sermon spent three seasons at Oklahoma. Sermon racked up 37 appearances with the Sooners, collecting 2,076 rushing yards, 391 receiving yards and 25 total touchdowns.

Hollywood Brown suffers serious injury on first preseason play

Trey Sermon isn’t the only one who suffered an injury in the NFL preseason. New Kansas City Chiefs receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown injured his shoulder on the very first play of the team’s preseason. He could miss significant time.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid reported Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation. He still was in the hospital in Jacksonville getting examined after KC finished its game against the Jaguars. However, late Saturday, Brown shared a message on social media, writing, “God makes no mistakes.”

Reid said Brown’s injury is similar to the one suffered by Tyreek Hill in 2019 when he still played for the Chiefs. That year, the injury caused Hill to miss four games. The sternoclavicular joint connects the collarbone to the breastbone at the base of the neck.

The injury was to Brown’s left shoulder. The Jaguars rushed Patrick Mahomes. The quarterback found Brown for an 11-yard gain. Jacksonville cornerback Montaric Brown made the tackle, with the Chiefs receiver going down hard on his shoulder.
