It's not every day you see a player ejected in an NFL game, let alone for kicking someone in the face. In the first half of the Cleveland Browns game against the Tennessee Titans, Greg Robinson was ejected for kicking Kenny Vacarro in the facemask.

On the play, Robinson appears to be flailing his legs and ends up connecting with Vacarro's face. It's unknown just why Robinson began to kick his legs but nevertheless; he will be out for the rest of the game due to his ejection.
Losing Robinson could be detrimental to the Browns in this game against a talented Titans defense. Coming into this season, there were concerns with how Cleveland's offensive line would perform with Robinson as their left tackle.
Without Robinson on the field, the Browns deployed veteran Kendall Lamm in his place. Unfortunately, Cleveland witnessed Lamm go down with a knee injury before halftime and are hoping he can return to the game.
Furthermore, if Lamm is unable to go, Cleveland could ask Justin McCray to slide outside to left tackle. Regardless, the Browns haven't gotten off to the high-flying start that they thought they'd have under Freddie Kitchens.
The Browns expected to put up a large number of points with their newly acquired weapon Odell Beckham Jr. in the offense. The only thing is, Baker Mayfield is going to need time in the pocket to get the ball to his pass-catchers.
As the Browns attempt to win this game, they will have to do so with a couple of shifts along their offensive line.
