Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore was hospitalized overnight Thursday with a head injury.

The front of his helmet slammed into the ground while he was getting tackled in the second quarter of the Browns’ 37-20 home win against the New York Jets.

Moore’s body began shaking while he remained prone as trainers rushed to his aid. He eventually was helped to the injury tent and later to the locker room.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Friday that Moore was back home recovering. He is in concussion protocol.

“He’s doing better,” Stefanski said. “Those are always scary.”

Moore, 23, caught five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown against his former team before sustaining the injury.

He has 59 catches for 640 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (11 starts) in his first season with Cleveland.

Moore has 139 receptions for 1,624 yards and eight TDs in 43 games (26 starts) for the Jets (2021-22) and Browns.

The Browns (11-5), who were playing without leading receiver Amari Cooper, clinched a playoff berth with the win.
