Should I Start KC Concepcion Jr.?

Wednesday, October 14, 8:14 AM

Cleveland Browns rookie first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion Jr. (head), who suffered a concussion early in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday, is in the league's concussion protocol, but he will practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. It is an encouraging sign that Concepcion is practicing early in the week, but he is not out of the woods yet and should still be considered questionable to play against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens this Sunday in Week 6. The 22-year-old from Texas A&M will likely need to upgrade to a full practice at some point by Friday in order to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol. Concepcion has 18 receptions for 149 yards on 29 targets through his first five NFL games, and he is still searching for his first career trip to paydirt. Despite the inconsistent production early on, it is clear that the Browns have made both Concepcion and fellow rookie wideout Denzel Boston a priority in the passing attack, leaving Jerry Jeudy out in the cold so far in 2026.
