Hue Jackson was not aware Zane Gonzalez was kicked while he was injured

In all the ways that the Cleveland Browns have known their dubious reputation for starting this season of the NFL, a detail shared Monday by the fiasco of kicking Sunday could be the most inept.

Head coach Hue Jackson did not know kicker Zane Gonazalez was injured when he missed two more goals and two points in the 21-18 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Jackson confirms Gonzalez's injury that he did not know

Jackson confirmed to reporters that Gonzalez had suffered a groin injury, but said he was unaware before the match.

"I did not know and no one had ever reported from our medical department that Zane had been injured."

So there is that.

The missed kicks have probably cost the Browns their first win since 2016. They definitely cost Gonzalez his job. It seems that Jackson knowing that his kick was injured could have prevented these two things from happening.

Everyone involved damn

Blame can be spread all around. Why did Gonzalez not reveal Jackson's injury? If the trainers were aware, why was not Jackson?

Whatever the reason it was not reported, it's not a good idea for Jackson to run a program where something like this happens.
