Washington star rookie defensive end Chase Young left Sunday’s game in Cleveland with a groin injury.

Team officials said Young, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, won’t return.

The former Ohio State All-American came into the game tied for the NFL lead with 2 1/2 sacks.

It’s not clear when Young got injured. The Browns spent the week preparing to face him and a Washington defence leading the league with 11 sacks.

Jonathan Allen sacked Baker Mayfield in the first quarter for sack No. 12.
