Major Injuries Hit NFL Training Camps

NFL training camps in 2025 have been marred by major injuries, with the Cleveland Browns' Martin Emerson Jr. and Miami Dolphins' Kader Kohou both suffering season-ending injuries that significantly weaken their defensive secondaries. Emerson ruptured his Achilles and will miss the entire season, while Kohou was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury. The Pittsburgh Steelers also faced injuries, including rookie tight end DJ Thomas-Jones, who was initially feared to have a season-ending Achilles injury, but tests later confirmed it was less severe. Steelers' starting left tackle Broderick Jones and edge rusher Jeremiah Moon also sustained injuries, though neither is expected to miss the full season. These developments are forcing teams to adjust depth charts and depend more on inexperienced backups. Concerns over player health are rising as the preseason progresses.
